The exterior appearances of these
Communes will be entirely different
from that of the present cities and vii
lagos. Narrow streets have vanished,
tenement prisons are torn down, and
spacious, well-itted palaces, surrounded
| by gardens and parks, erected IN their
places, giving accommodation to larger
or smaller associations brought together
by identical interests, increasing COM
forts to degree which no individual or
family arrangement could reach.
In the country the people will be more
concentrated. One agricultural Com
mune with city conveniences will take
the place of several villages. The unit
ing farms hitherto separated, the general
application and constant improvement
of agricultural implements and chemical
fertilizers, the growing perfection of the
means of communication and Transports
ton, ETC., have simplified this process
of concentration. The former contrast
between city and country disappears,
and the principle of equality gains one
Of its most important triumphs.
Private property exists no more. All
wealth belongs to the Communes or the
communal leagues. Everybody, whether
able to work or not, can obtain from
them such articles of necessity as he
may desire. The sum total of necessities
and comforts demanded, regulates the
quantity of production.
The time of labor for the individual is
limited to few hours day, because all
those able to work, regardless of sex,
take part in production, because useless,
injurious or similar work will not be
done, and because technical, chemical
and other auxiliary means of production
are highly developed and universally
applied. By far the greater part of the
day can be spent in the enjoyment of
life.
The highest qualification will be found
in freely chosen intellectual employment.
Some spend their leisure time in the SER
vice of their fellow-men, and are busy for
the common veal. Others can be found
in the libraries, where they apply them
selves to literary pursuits, or to gather
ing material for educational lectures, or
simply for private studies. Others again
hasten to the lyceums, open to all, and
there hear science. Academies of paint
ing, sculpture, music, etc., offer chances
of education for such as follow the fine
arts.
Friends of childhood, especially those
of the female sex, center about the
places of education. where, under the
direction of the real mentors of youth,
they aid in the rearing and culture of
the growing generation.
Teaching will be done only in we'll
ventilated, light rooms, and during fair
weather in the open air. And in order
to secure the equal development of mind
and body, merry play. gymnastics and
work will alternate with the close appli-
cation of the mind.
Theaters and concert halls will offer
free seats to all.
Forced or procured marriages are un-
known mankind has returned to, the
natural state and love rules uncon-
strained.
Vice and crime have disappeared with
their original causes, private property
and general misery.
Diseases to a great extent cease to ap-
pear, because bad lodging, murderous
workshops, impure food and drink, over
exertion, etc., ETC., have become things
unknown.
Man at last can and does enjoy life
THE "BEAsT OF PROPERTY" is NO MORE ! !!
