Eutopia based on the teachings of the Shakers and Thomas Paine (1737-1809). Each child born is due education until its legal age, at which point it is given its portion of land, sufficient to support a family. Childbearing will be controlled by the women. Also suggests a higher order of celibacy and community of goods. See also 1888 Evans and 1890 Evans The Conditions of Peace.
