"Co-operative Officers"
p. 63 · Read in the full issue
As part of its policy of en couraging the natives to engage in co-operative enterprises— especially planting and trading —the Administration maintains a special organisation within the Department of Native Affairs.
It is called the “Development and Welfare Division” ; and within the Division is a Registrar of Co-operatives, and a Chief Inspector of Co-operatives.
Recent lists show about a dozen specially trained young men called “co-operative officers”, scattered through the 15 Districts, whose job is to advise and assist the natives who form or operate co operative societies.
