Our correspondent is sadly wrong in suspecting
that Associationists dc not generally regard Edu-
cation, in its largest sense, the great duty OF
each individual to himself, and SO far one of
the great ends of Life. Most of them prize
the Educational and Social advantages which
they hope to secure to themselves and their chill
dren far above any pecuniary advantages, which
they know must be somewhat distant. But we
are immovably of the opinion that the fve,hour
plan will not work. unless in a community of
wealthy persons only, ard there it would prove
nothing. Any attempt at Association involves a
large and persevering outlay of Labor, and even
waste of Labor, in the outset, before there can be
work for all capacities and capacities to all work.
Very much of the labor of the first three years
will add little to the immediate wealth of the AS
sociation. A fve.hour Association would soon
starve out, though ultimately five hours a day
may be work enough.


Our correspondents experience is valuable, and
would be conclusive, if all men, all women, all
children, could earn l25 cents per hour, or even
half of 1t, just whenever they ohoOo to work AS
they cannot, however, it is insufficient. Ed.
