Employers In Germany, where the system has been establish. ed for some time, co-operate just as gladly as Chicago employers are said to be co-operating in the present ex- periment.

Take the case of salesmanship, which 1s being taught in Chicago. Some large stores have so strongly felt the need of instruction in it that they have es- tablished schools of salesmanship of thelr where experts lecture and give advice to ambitious employes.
