The article focuses on the book "The Evolution of World-Peace," edited by F.S. Marvin. Throughout all the ages of human history run several growing purposes such as increasing knowledge and mastery of nature by man; the equalization of classes and the unification of the world. There are many other aims and goals discernible in the vast story, but all of them are either fugitive in time or restricted in area. These alone are universal, for they are all referable to a more general biological law, that of adaptation of life to environment, and they all point to the apparently distant but not less certain consummation when men shall dwell together in a single great society, governed by justice and animated by scientific ideals.
