Part of his work with the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives included setting up training schools across China. Alley served as headmaster from 1945-1949 for one school in Shandan. He helped to revive the organization in the 80s. The New Zealand and Chinese governments recognized Alley for his contributions in China before and after his death on December 27, 1987.
