ABSTRACT
Dr. Charles Gore, in declaring the exhibition open, said he was cordially glad to be able to give the delegates a word of welcome, and as far as he had a right, a word of encouragement in the movement of co-operation. The great need of English life was that of the recognition of an adequate means of knowledge. The success of any great reform movement such as co-operation depended upon enthusiasm accompanied by adequate knowledge. The co-operative movement required that those who took part in it should know that there was such a thing as social science. Dr. Gore wished that exhibition and the co-operative one could be brought together, for he was certain the one would find a remedy for the other.
