There would
be eloquent pleadings for this or that, for an intellectual heat would
be engendered in this human hive, and there would be no more illiterates
or ignoramuses. The teaching in the village school would be altered to
suit the new social order, and the children of the community would, we
may be certain, be instructed in everything necessary for the
intelligent conduct of the communal business. The spirit of rivalry
between one community and another, which exists today between
neighboring creameries, would excite the imagination of the members, and
the organized community would be as swift to act as the unorganized
community is slow to act. Intelligence would be organized as well as
business. The women would have their own associations, to promote
domestic economy, care of the sick and the children. The girls would
have their own industries of embroidery, crochet, lace, dress-making,
weaving, spinning, or whatever new industries the awakened intelligence
of women may devise and lay hold of as the peculiar labor of their sex.
The business of distribution of the produce and industries of the
community would be carried on by great federations, which would attend
to export and sale of the products of thousands of societies.
