These in detail are consistent with, are the consequence of, or are 

 correlated with: — 



I. 1. The simplification of the stan- 

 dards of living. 



2. Other, things being equal, to 



the maintenance of health 

 (good hygiene). 



3. The elimination of undue re- 



striction of fecundity (the 

 proper limit being deter- 

 mined by the environment), 



4. Eugenics in the larger sense. 



II. 1. Increase of food supplies : — 



(a) By the application of 

 biological, chemical, 

 and physical sciences 

 and mechanical appli- 

 ances to cultivation. 



(6) By the exploitation of 

 the animal and vege- 

 table worlds for appro- 

 priate foods, in air, 

 land or sea. 



(c) By the utilization of 

 products obtainable 

 from the air, earth, sea, 

 &c., directly or in 

 agriculture, &c. 



i Accession of knowledge as to 

 best means of exploiting 

 the resources of Nature — 

 (a) Through science. 

 (6) Through technology. 



(c) Through industrial 

 processes. 



III. 1. By training in thrift and ac- 

 quiring a love of industry. 



2. By accumulation of capital 

 sufficient for support of a 

 relatively large unproduc- 

 tive (juvenile) population. 



I. 1. The elaboration of the stan- 

 dards of living. 



2. Other things being equal, to 



the impairment of health 

 (bad hygiene). 



3. The restriction of fecundity 



beyond the due limit (de- 

 pendent upon the environ- 

 ment). 



4. All developmental defects to 



the race. 

 II. 1. Failure to dsveloji food 

 supplies :— 



(a) By the neglect of the 

 physical sciences, 

 and mechanical aids. 

 (6) The neglect of animal 

 and vegetable sources 

 of supply in air, land 

 or sea. 

 (c) Indifference to the use 

 of products derivable 

 from air, earth, sea, 

 (fee. 



2. Absence of knowledge as to 

 the potential resources of 

 Nature, and the means of 

 using them for the advan- 

 tage of the race — 



(a) Through the neglect 



of science. 

 (6) Through technical 



ignorance, 

 (c) Through failure to 

 recognise the aid 

 which good in- 

 dustrial processes 

 render. 

 III. I. By dislike for thrift and 

 habits of industry. 

 2. By all extravagance which 

 prevents accumulation for 

 support of the unproductive 

 (juvenile) part of the popu- 

 lation. 



The whole of the above are affected by the character of peoples 

 in respect of their intelligence, earnestness, wisdom in the directing 

 of life-effort, attitude to knowledge, to social purpose including 

 industrial effort, to social economic organization and well-being, 

 and to ethic, as influencing all human action.
