Excerpt from Civic Biology: A Textbook of Problems, Local and National, That Can Be Solved Only by Civic Coöperation

Cooperative good will is the essential idea in civic biology, as it is in the progress of civilization itself. This means that eivio biology consists of all those problems Whose solution requires cooperative effort. In the nature of the case we cannot control many of the forces'of living nature by any amount of uncoordinated individual effort, any more than we can turn back the ocean tides by haphazard sweeping with brooms. The problem of civic biology, therefore, is to make it possible for everyone to know what these forces are, for good or for ill, and to understand how to do his part for his own good and for that of the community. Cooperative build ing of the defenses offers our only hope of success, and our education needs to be so? Organized that every citizen shall know enough to stop a breach the instant he sees it.
