ADLER TALKS AT EMANU-EL.

Viennese Psychologist Stresses Attainment of Cooperation.

Before an audience of more than 2,800 persons, which taxed to capacity the Wise auditorium of the Temple Emanu-El, Sixty-fifth Street and Fifth Avenue, Dr. Alfred Adler, Viennese author and psychologist, spoke last night on "Educational Views of Individual Psychology," the first of a series of nine lectures, which he will give there on Tuesday nights, under the auspices of the Emanu-El Junior Society.

"The greatest contribution of independent psychology," said Dr. Adler, "is a right understanding of the demand for cooperation and a discovery of the means of attaining that cooperation. The meaning of life must be created by every one for himself, and for us this means a necessity of cooperation, in the present and the future. There is no virtue in the world which does not come from cooperation. Here are focused all the efforts made by the adapted person in the world. Individual psychology finds the roots of mistakes and thus is in the way of finding the remedy."

In subsequent lectures Dr. Adler will discuss the various psychological aspects of family life.
