evolutionary problem of the best general organization for society. And the solution of that problem will consist in the elimination of inherited privilege or position with its accompanying system of rigid castes or classes, and the substitution for it of equality of privilege and opportunity, through the establishment of a society based upon voluntary coöperation growing out of a complete system of division of labor. Such an organization of society will be democratic in the broadest sense of the term, because opportunity will be in proportion to ability; and it will also be progressive, because an organization embodying justice will permit the highest degree of individual development.
