BXPIvANATORY NOTE 



1. The present Table of Contents refers to the twelve numbers of the Bul- 

 letin cf Social and Economic Intelligence published from January to De- 

 cember, 1914, and includes, therefore, all the articles and notes dealing with 

 Co-operation, Insurance, Credit and Agricultural Economy in General con- 

 tained in these volumes. 



2. The articles and notes relating to Co-operation have been grouped 

 m 25 classes ; those dealing with Insurance are divided into 12 classes ; those 

 which deal with Credit into 8 classes ; and those which treat of Agricultural 

 Economy in General into 19. A complete list of these classes precedes the 

 Table. In our classification we have followed the rule of single entry and 

 placed under only one heading those articles and notes which, from the nattire 

 of the subject treated, might appear in more than one group. 



As it is not in every case clear why an article or note has been assigned 

 to one group rather than to another, the reader must be prepared to refer to the 

 several analogous groups in any one of which a particular article or note might 

 appear. A dairymen's co-operative society, for example, may have as its 

 object the protection of the general economic interests of dairy farmers as a 

 class, or simply the improvement of the methods of production, transport, and 

 sale, or again, the purchase and collective use of animals of the special dairy 

 type. An article relating to such a society might appear under various head- 

 ings, according as it deals more particularly with one or other of these objects. 



3. In each group the articles and notes have been sub-divided by countries, 

 following the aphabetical order as established in the arrangement of articles 

 in the French edition of the Bulletin of Economic and Social Intelligence : 

 (Allemagne, Argentine, Autriche, etc.). For each country the articles are 

 arranged in the chronological order in which they were published. We have 

 added a table giving the classification by countries.
