MILITARY SYSTEMS. 491 



Lastly, we must not omit to note that while the army 

 becomes otherwise distinguished, it becomes distinguished by 

 retaining and elaborating the system of status ; though in the 

 rest of the community, as it advances, the system of contract 

 is spreading and growing definite. Compulsory cooperation 

 continues to be the principle of the military part, however 

 widely the principle of voluntary cooperation conies into play 

 throughout the civil part.
