Excerpt from History of the Hopedale Community: From Its Inception to Its Virtual Submergence in the Hopedale Parish
Within a very few years not less than sixty of these efforts or experiments, under the general name of Communities, were entered upon, and systematically operated in different parts of the country. Most of them were projected and carried for ward on essentially economical grounds; being designed chiefly to insure relief from the rivalries and competitions of indus trial and commercial life by which multitudes of human beings are brought to penury and wretchedness, to establish more just and harmonious relations between the employer and the employed, and to unite in the bonds of mutual co-operation and helpfulness all classes and conditions of people. Others were more largely of an educational character and made the matter of intellectual training and superior culture a promi nent if not the crowning feature of their polity. While a few were distinctively religious in their inception, form of organi zation, and methods of administration. All professed a stead fast devotion to high ethical principles, and sought to maintain a lofty standard of personal character and social righteousness, and all claimed to be inspired by a desire and purpose to benefit mankind in some definite, practical, effective way.
