224 PART IV. PREPARATORY STAGE. 



(b) All individuals, being for all purposes equally dependent 

 on pan-human culture, should command identical opportunities 

 of developing, labouring, and living; 



(c) The needs of specie-cultural beings being intrinsically 

 similar, one general standard of living should obtain, conse- 

 quently one standard for reward of services; 



(rf) One unchanging moral standard should be applied to all 

 individuals and groups of individuals equal kindness, courtesy, 

 consideration, respect, etc., though this does not preclude paying 

 most, but not exclusive, attention to the nearest duties (our home, 

 vocation, country), and being guided by the actual requirements 

 of others; 



(e) The sexes being equally dependent on pan-human culture, 

 self-respect demands that marriage should be monogamic and 

 that both partners shall share authority equally; and 



(/) Social advance should depend on the well-directed and 

 well-organised individual efforts of the many rather than on 

 the activities of a capriciously selected or favoured few that 

 is, the spirit of democracy should dominate all human inter- 

 relations. 



3. Education. Culture being the measure of man, we should 

 provide for its assimilation by each and all, and hence it follows 

 that thorough home and school education for all moral, intellec- 

 tual, hygienic, aesthetic, and vocational is indispensable, and 

 that it is a primary social necessity to perfect the educational 

 ends and the methods of educating teachers and children. 



4. Science. Since abundance of sifted knowledge, combined 

 with deliberate collective thought, are man's distinguishing 

 weapon, and since all wholly or partially instinctive or indivi- 

 dual methods of dealing with general problems are pre-human 

 because not pan-human, science should be man's guiding genius 

 in all departments of life and thought. 



(a) This involves that the desire for attaining strength, health, 

 happiness, and the satisfaction of appetites and impulses, should 

 be determined by ideas enlightened by science ideas which 

 would urge the implanting of the love of the good, the true, 

 the hygienic, and the beautiful, as well as the development of 

 a joyous temperament, and would, it is probable, rule out as 

 superfluous luxury, intoxicants, narcotics, gambling, playing for 

 stakes or otherwise than rarely, substantial dependence of 

 happiness on amusements, and would certainly condemn as 

 brutish unchastity in the unmarried and infidelity in marriage. 



(b) It equally involves, on the social side, that all war, 

 rewards and punishments, unfriendly words and deeds, uncriti- 

 cal assignment of motives, anger, scolding, ridicule, indulgence, 

 coaxing, bribery, and argumentation are unwise and ineffective 

 when applied to personal, social, national, international, inter- 

 racial, and other human relations, and should be replaced by 

 methods resulting from scientific study, which counsel the ex-
