C om m unity C on sciou sn ess The g re a te st thinkers in the world have realized th a t values are reali ties created by the mind, and th a t all consciousness is m ental. The creative genius of the individual enriches the world, and the consciousness of the com m unity when it is constructive produces all values and prosperity. The head of a g re a t industry or any corporation or so-called Big Business, sees to it th a t such principles and policies prevail in the adm inistration of its sm allest details, th a t the g re a t est constructive harm ony is m ain tained not only with every member of its own working; force b ut also with the com m unities com prising the te r ritory in which it exists, functions and receives its income for services rendered or products sold. The con sciousness of the commonwealth, w hether it be a city, sta te or the nation, is a m ental creation founded on good will and constant education of the masses of the people as to what constitutes righteous public relations under efficient scientific m anagem ent, giving the best possible service to the most highly educated people in the world.
