y, cooperation--not the fighting of man against man--but the
peaceful cooperation of all is both _necessary_ and sufficient; it will
know and will teach that such cooperation demands _scientific_ leadership
and a common _aim_; it will know, however, and will teach, for the lesson
of Germany is plain, that scientific knowledge and a common aim are not
alone sufficient; it will know and teach and all will understand that the
common aim, the unifying principle, the basis of cooperation, cannot be
the welfare of a family nor that of a province or a state or a race, but
must be the welfare of _all_ mankind, the prosperity of humanity, the weal
of the world--the peaceful production of Wealth without the destruction of
War.

In humanity's manhood, patriotism--the love of country--will not perish--far
from it--it will grow to embrace the world, for your country and mine will
be the world. Your "state" and mine will be the Human State--a Cooperative
Commonwealth of Man--a democracy in fact and not merely in name. It will be
a natural organic embodiment of the civilizing energies--the
wealth-producing energies--characteristic of the human class of life. Its
larger affairs will be guided by the science and art of Human
Engineering--not by ignorant and grafting "politicians"--but by scientific
men, by honest men who _know_.

Is it a dream? It _is_ a dream, but the dream will come true. It is a
scientific dream and science will make it a living reality.

How is the thing to be done? No one can foresee all the details, but in
general outline the process is clear. Violence is to be avoided. There
must be a period of transition--a period of adjustment. A natural first
step would probably be the establishment of a new institution which might
be called a Dynamic Department--Department of Coordination or a Department
of Cooperation--the name is of little importance, but it would be the
_nucleus_ of the new civilization. Its functions would be those of
encouraging, helping and protecting the people in such cooperative
enterprises as agriculture, manufactures, finance, and distribution.

The Department of Cooperation should include various sections, which might
be as follows:

(1) _The Section of Mathematical Sociology_ or _Humanology_: composed of
at least one sociologist, one biologist, one mechanical engineer, and one
mathematician. Their work would be the development of human engineering
and mathematical sociology or humanology; pro
