CONCLUSION. Gil 



result from complete self -ownership of the unit and exercise 

 over him of nothing more than passive influence by the 

 aggregate. On the one hand, by continual repression of 

 aggressive instincts and exercise of feelings which prompt 

 ministration to public welfare, and on the other hand by the 

 lapse of restraints, gradually becoming less necessary, there 

 must be produced a kind of man so constituted that while 

 fulfilling his own desires he fulfils also the social needs. 

 Already, small groups of men, shielded by circumstances 

 from external antagonisms, have been moulded into forms 

 of moral nature so superior to our own, that, as said of the 

 Let-htas, the account of their goodness &quot; almost savours of 

 romance &quot;; and it is reasonable to infer that what has even 

 now happened on a small scale, may, under kindred con 

 ditions, eventually happen on a large scale. Long studies, 

 showing among other things the need for certain qualifica 

 tions above indicated, but also revealing facts like that just 

 named, have not caused me to recede from the belief ex 

 pressed nearly fifty years ago that &quot; The ultimate man 

 will be one whose private requirements coincide with public 

 ones. He will be that manner of man who, in spontaneously 

 fulfilling his own nature, incidentally performs the func 

 tions of a social unit; and yet is only enabled so to fulfil his 

 own nature by all others doing the like.&quot; 



THE END.
