Abstract

As a body of natural truths the spirit of cooperation has existed as long as man, manifesting itself over the ages in various forms of cooperative endeavors. In our present day society, the sense or the idea of "community“ is enticing many individuals into a serious consideration of how man can unite himself to other men in the pursuit of common interests. At the same time, it would almost seem that man is endeavoring to set himself apart from others, trying to get those few yards of land on either side of his home. In the long run, however, man has learned that, although the human individual needs to have a sense of his own individual worth, he also needs the sense of security and strength which a functional operation of the ideal of cooperative ventures can give him.
