comparatively small department of human life, they would regulate all departments. Individual initiative they would replace by collective or- ganisation; poferty, which is admit- tedly at least as great an evil as drink, they would banish by confiscat ing the riches of the few in the interests of the many; the parent, who is often wholly incompetent to deal with children, would be replaced by the State; the child instead of thoos- |ing or drifting into a vocation, often without any proper understanding of his capacity, would be set to the work for which his. talents appeared "most fitting. Under such a system the whole of life would be regulated. Some evils might be eliminated, some inequalities fedressed, but, the general level of dull uniformity would, be depressing and the effect would almost certainly be destructive of progress. Happily, no such con- dition could last long without a revolt out of sheer ennui. As one of the characters remarks in a novel of W. D. Howells, when returning into the world after an experi ence of one of the American social communities, "There's some chance here, and there everything went by rule; you had your share of the work, and you knew just what you had to expect every day. I used to say I wished something wrong would hap pen, just so as to have somethisig I happen.fapan Chronicle.
