Author Description

Excerpt from Walter James Dodd: A Biographical Sketch Dodd was born in London, April 22, 1 869, the youngest child and only son in a large family. His father was an artisan, a worker in metal roofing. He died when Walter was eight years old; so that it is not likely that his ideas had much inuence on his son. Never theless, it is worth noting that he was a man of ideas; he was one of the earliest experi menters in the cooperative movement which later became important in the history of Eng lish labor. When his first experiments failed, he went cheerfully on to the next, undismayed and forgetful of the cost to himself; in one characteristic, at least, he was the true father of his son.
