ABSTRACT

W h e r e a group have lived together for a considerable time, there are certain ways in which individuals and classes react toward each other that are recognized as good. Those most generally approved, constitute what may be called the moral code of the group. This code is usually not only approved, but where all are affected by its observance, is enforced by public disapproval of those not conforming, and usually by punishment. Persons who conform to this code without compulsion and in details that never are enforced, are regarded as genuinely or morally good.
