The film is a presentation of one of the most im- portant facts of modern civilization—the dependence of individuals and communities upon one another. Interesting action scenes show the specialized Jobs of the Town and City which increase dependence as well as benefits. There are scenes of dairy farms, of stockyards, of wheat fields and bakeries, of forests and lumber camps, of coal mines, and of the vast network of railways that bind together our entire country. Finally, by means of scenes taken in foreign countries throughout the world, the picture ends with the conclu- sion that all nations as well as individuals are interdependent and that progress de- pends upon their intelligent co-operation."
