Yes, but some day he may wish he

trying to bury the money problem as
deep as possible and to produce men
and women who can stand substantially
upon their own feet in the new civil
ization. We are proving to the world
the great lesson of cooperation: that
man is not an individual being, but a
social being; that he can live in har-
mony with his brothers and sisters and
that he can have ten-yes, hundred
to become real coop

life of individualism.

and established the money system,

love and friendship out of humanity.
We must start anew. All these hun
dreds of years have been squandered
along the road to civilization. Man
must be born again into world Of
harmony. The past must be forgotten
all but the lesson it has revealed. We
must build new world.
We of NewIlano are doing our pari
by giving every man, women and child
an opportunity to select what Nature
chose for him or her to do. Advan-
tages here are so numerousmthat no
one person could possible take them
all up: while throughout the nations,
YOU are compelled to do whatever
itself, regardless of your de-
slres or capability. | have heard nu-
merous persons say here in Llano that
never before did they know what trueI
living was; it is only because they are
given advantages to develop along the
lines they most desire. Every child
from the kindergarten up has the priv
ilege of choosing his or her occupation
as soon as he decides, and every man
and woman has the same privilege of
working at and learning that which
ne has always chosen.
Advantages Yes, there are plenty
Of them in NewlIano; but they are all
OF the constructive type. and not the
destructive.
If you wish to be factor in the
world to come, then this is your ideal.
If you wish to be an individualist, al
capitalist, parasite. then stay with |
he competitive system; but remember,
A new civilization is being born, and it
IS not to be like the former one.
