ABSTRACT

The success of a rationally motivated community seems to be possible only where the political system of the country tends to favour the total, or at least substantial, collectivization of agriculture, as in Soviet Russia or in Mexico. The agency in charge should do no more than provide the conditions most favourable to the development of the co-operative spirit. This, together with a membership chosen for its communal ability, should produce the degree of co-operation most suitable to the group. The primary school, and the high school, as it becomes necessary, will have to shape its curriculum to the educational aims and requirements of the country, but the spirit of instruction should be imbued with the aims of co-operation. A principle to be recommended in the administration and management of the resettlement co-operative is one of confidence in the capacity of the group, which has been as well selected as possible.
