First, he has to learn how to fit into his immediate family, learn the give-and-take necessary neces-sary to get along with brothers, sisters, elders. Then, after a few years, his world enlarges, he is sent to school. Pretty soon he learns how to spell C-A-T. But about this same time he learns something some-thing much more valuable, which is that he mustn't pull the cafs tail because a cat is a being, and therefore entitled to certain inalienable in-alienable riglits. He also learns that 1 plus 1 equals 2. But much more useful is learning tliat 48 equals 1, tiiat 48 states make 1 nation, indivisible, indivis-ible, with liberty and justice for all. As Andy grows up his world will continually expand. At church, at school, in business. And through it all will run the theme of cooperation, of getting along with people of diflcrent religious, re-ligious, political and economic beliefs; with peoplo soma of whom ho doesn't even like.
