Note 11 — Chapter XIII · THE MORAL EFFECT OF MANUAL TRAINING.

“In small, undeveloped societies, where for ages complete peace has continued, there exists nothing like what we call Government; no coercive agency, but mere honorary headship, if any headship at all. In these exceptional communities, unaggressive, and from special causes unaggressed upon, there is so little deviation from the virtues of truthfulness, honesty, justice, and generosity, that nothing beyond an occasional expression of public opinion by informally assembled elders is needful.”—“Political Institutions,” ¶¶ 437, 573; “The Sins of Legislators,” in “The Man versus the State,” p. 44.
