In popular opinion, respectability has come to be considered one of the main characteristics of the Society of Friends. Except for their opposition to war, the Quakers have for generations been supposed to be settled down in the normal attitude of the well-to-do British middle classes towards the economic and industrial problems of the day. Now the Quaker ideal of life is not confined to a demand for simple living and business integrity. It includes the requirement that every one born into this world should have full opportunity to develop his personality so that the Divine spirit which is in each man may find utterance through him.
