ABSTRACT
Class animosity by no means increases in proportion to the separation of classes. On the contrary, where there is a definite and recognized class system which no one thinks of breaking down, a main cause of arrogance and jealousy is absent. The feeling between classes will not be very bitter so long as the ideal of service is present in all and mutually recognized. An essential condition of better feeling in the inevitable struggles of life is that there should be just and accepted "rules of the game" to give moral unity to the whole. A real democracy of sentiment and action, a renewed Christianity and a renewed art might make life beautiful and hopeful for those who have little money without diminishing the wholesome operation of the desire for gain. The excessive prestige of wealth, along with much of the ill feeling which it involves, is also, rather a legacy from caste society than a trait congenial to democracy.
