The members have made other concessions to the modern world and now live much as do others in the nation.

“Much of Bellamy’s book is socialistic in character. Portions of this book undoubtedly stuck in the minds of millions thus making fertile ground for the New Deal philosophy.” Most of the literary utopias were designed to educate rulers of nations, attempts to give advice which would make for a more wise reign. The trail of utopias actually founded has not been smooth. During the period 1800-1900 some 60 idealistic communities were established in this country.
