Excerpt from Investigations of the Department of Psychology and Education of the University of Colorado, Vol. 1: Certain Aspects of Educational Progress We grant there must be struggle in some form, but even Kidd recognizes there must be another principle to make civilized society possible. He brings in the power and sanction of religion, as the necessary altruistic influence. The rational selfishness of individuals is the disintegrating influence; religious belief provides a sanction for social conduct; the first must constantly be subordinated to the second. He believes evolution teaches that the race must continue to grow more and more religious. He believes that in an improved religion we shall eon quer; we may add that the victory will be easier and more complete because of an improved science. One conclusion is justified, namely, that social progress can not rely upon natural selection alone, but must bring to its aid all the forces of material and physical betterment, of public opinion, law, morality and religion.
