Copyright 1914, by Sam Scott 9 IN TWELVE PARTS PART TEN Community Co-operation Co-operation is civilization’s foundation stone. We are not exactly our “brother’s keeper,” but each day we are coming to realize more fully the common kinship of humanity. We are learning that our own selfishness hurts us more than it does the other fellow. We are learning that Our activities liT making a living for ourselves, affect others besides us. Every day’s work we do, whether it be as a common laborer, or as a master-executive, directing the course of some great enterprise, starts a multitude of complex machinery working in our delicately adjusted economic fabric. The dinner you ate today, the field you plowed, your day’s work at the shop—every activity, no matter how commonplace, has an influence upon your fellowman-at-large. Likewise the dinner eaten by your neighbor over the way, or the field he plowed, or his day’s work at the shop—his every activity, no matter how commonplace, has an influence upon you, more or less direct. Every normal human being is working for one common purpose—to get life’s necessities and perhaps some of its luxuries. We are fast learning that the best way to further our own selfish interests is to contribute as well as consume. We influence, and are most influenced by those most intimately asociated with us. For this reason the individual does or does not grow and prosper exactly as the community in which he lives does or does not grow and prosper. It is most necessary that each citizen (for his own well being) do all in his power to make his community a prosperous, progressive one. Co-operation is the most wonderful of builders.
