Co-op

Methods

extension
department
before
an
audience
of
50
In
the
Metro-

Hall
last
night.
A
division
of
the
U.
B.
C.
extension
department
exists
to
help
the
co-operative
movement,
but
the
burden
of
expansion
rests
with
members
themselves.
"Each
one
.teach
one"
was
the
best
method
of
spreading
the
cooperative
idea,
Miss
Brown
said.
A
lack
of
trained
managers
Is
hampering
co-operative
projects
at
the
present
time
ana
it
would
be
sound
business
to
establish
training
schools
to
overcome
this
shortage.
"Co-ops
teach
people
to
look
after
their
own
businesses,
because
members
must
be
careful
whom
they
select
to
run
them,"
she
declared.
"They
have
to
be
Just
as
efficient
as
other
businesses
In
order
to
survive."
Miss
Brown
described
tlic
establishment
of
cultural
co-operatives
at
different
places
In
Can
ada
and
United
States.
Puqwsc
of
them
Is
to
bring
in
top
flight
music
and
drama
entertainers
in
places
which
ordinarily
could
not
afford
them.
Tlic
idea
la
working
very
well
in
some
places
and
might
be
applied
to
Prince
Rupert.
The
speaker
also
favored
In

In

Following
the
speech,

From
