71:3.6 A [[moral]] [[society]] should aim to [[preserve]] the self-respect of its [[citizenry]] and afford every [[normal]] [[individual]] adequate opportunity for [[self-realization]]. Such a plan of [[social]] achievement would yield a [[cultural]] [[society]] of the highest order. Social [[evolution]] should be [[encouraged]] by [[governmental]] supervision which [[exercises]] a minimum of regulative [[control]]. That [[state]] is best which [[co-ordinates]] most while governing least.

71:3.7 The [[ideals]] of statehood must be [[attained]] by [[evolution]], by the slow [[growth]] of [[civic]] consciousness, the [[recognition]] of the [[obligation]] and [[privilege]] of social [[service]]. At first men [[assume]] the burdens of [[government]] as a [[duty]], following the end of the [[administration]] of political spoilsmen, but later on they seek such [[ministry]] as a [[privilege]], as the greatest [[honor]]. The [[status]] of any level of [[civilization]] is faithfully portrayed by the caliber of its [[citizens]] who [[volunteer]] to accept the [[responsibilities]] of statehood.
