GENERAL CHARACTER OP THE COURSE. I. Scope of the Course. 1. General character of the study of sociology as dis- tinguished from other sciences. 2. The course deals specially with the principles of pure sociology; but it includes a summary discussion of the principles of applied sociology. 3.. While primarily aiming at a mastery of sociological science, the course will have a utilitarian or practical purpose: the application of science to the improve- ment of social life. II. Plan of the Course; Method. 1. The Analytical reference syllabus: contains an outline of the lectures, with topical citation of the literature. 2. Assigned texts, with "written reviews"; use of note- book for readings on syllabus and for thesis. 3. Research work : each member of the class should select a subject for independent investigation. For an ac- ceptable thesis one hour of credit is given, if the student registers for Course Al. 4. The '^Reserve Section" in the Reading Room. III. Select Literature Available for the Course (see the "Select Bibliography" at end of this pamphlet). (7) CHAPTER I. CHARACTERISTICS OF SOCIOLOGICAL SCIENCE. Section I. Definition and Province of Sociology. I. Definitions. 1. Comte: regards the ''social science" as "social physics^' {Positive Philosophy, I, 22) ; his "social dynamics" (see Ward, Pure Sociology, 223-24; idem, Applied Sociology, 8-9). 2. Spencer : the science of sociology has to give an account of all the phenomena that result from the combined action of social units {Principles of Sociology, I, 437. Cf. Ward, "Herbert Spencer's Sociology," in Iiide- pendent, March 31, 1904). 3. Giddings: "An attempt to account for the origin, growth, structure, and activities of society by the operation of physical, vital, and ps3^chical causes, working together in a process of evolution'* {Principles, 8. Compare iMd., 419) ; the "science of social elements and first principles" {Principles, 33). 4. Dealey and Ward : "The study of human association" {Text Book, 2). 5. Ward: Pure Sociology is a "treatment of the phe- nomena and laws of society as it is" {Pure Sociology , 4). The "science of society, or the science of social phenomena" {Pop. Sc. Monthly, June, 1902, p. 113) ; "simply a scientific inquiry into the actual conditions of society" {Applied Sociology, 3). 6. Small: "Sociology is the science of the'social process" {General Sociology, 3.5. For his other definitions, see iMd., 3, 23, 35; and A. J. S., V, 500). 7. Stuckenberg: The "science of society" (Sociology, I, 1). 8. Tarde: The science of society, or of social phenomena {Laws of Imitation, 1, passim). 9. Sumner: "Science of the life of society" {Collected Essays, 77). (8) CHARACTERISTICS. H 10. Cooley: The "science of personal intercourse in its primary and secondary aspects" (Human Noture and the Social Order, 101). 11. Ross: The "science of social phenomena" (see Founda- tions, 6, 91; A. J. S., IX, 201 ff.). a. Is so broad a. definition necessary? Is description better than definition? 1). What are "social phenomena?"' 12. Other definitions (for enumerations, see Ward, "Con- temporary SociologT," in A. J. S., YII ; Small, Gen- eral Sociology, 23-39; idem, "What is Sociology''? in A. J. S., VIII, 468-77; idem, in A. J. 8., V, 506 ff. ; Blackmar, Elements of Sociology, 12 ff. ; Branford, "Origin and Use of the Word 'Sociology,' " in A. J. S.. IX, 145ff.). II. Preliminary View of the Conceptions and Systems of Sociology. The Subject Matter of Sociology is according to 1. Tarde : Imitation, opposition, adaptation (see Davis, Gahriel Tarde (1906) ; and Tarde, Social Laws (1897). 2. Gumplowicz, Novicow, Loria, Vaccaro : The struggle or conflict between classes, groups, races, societies (see Ross, Foundations, 272-90). 3. Ratzenhofer : Society as a process of adjustment by conflict and by co-operation between associated indi- viduals (Small, General Sociology, 181-394). 4. Simmel : The "function of socialization"; or the "Modes or forms of association into groups : social morphol- ogy" (see his "Problem of Sociology," in Annals, 1895, VI, 412-23 ; and idem, "Persistence of Social Groups," in A. J. S., Ill, 662 ff. Cf. Ross, Foundations, 4-5; Davis, Gahriel Tarde, 101-102). 5. Greef: "Contract" as distinguishing mark of society. A type of the "classifying" sociologists. 6. Kropotkin : "Mutual aid." 7. Durkheim : "Division of social labor" ; "social con- straint." 8. Giddings : "Consciousness of Kind" (Principles, 17 ff. ; idem. Inductive Sociology, 91 ff. ; idem, Descriptive and Historical Sociology, 275 ff.). 10 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 9. Ward: ''Human achievement" {Pure Sociology, 15-44; Dealey and Ward, 32-47. Compare the criticism of Ross, Foundations, 5.) a. Emphasis of function, not structure: pragmatism. 6. Law of difference between organic and social evolu- tion. "The environment transforms the animal, while man transforms the environment." Compare the law of difference between cosmic and organic evolution (Ward, in Pop. 8c. Monthly, XI, 672-82). c. What is "material civilization"? "Matter is dy- namic." d. Definition and forms of achievement. 10, The earlier so-called "Organicists," among whom are Spencer, Schiiffie, Lillienfeld, Roberty: Sociology is the science of the "social organism" ; of "society re- garded as a whole composed of definitely arranged parts" (Small, General Sociology, 07-179; Ross, Foun- dations, 1, 71 ff., 256 ff.). a. Relative sterility of sociology based on biological and physical analogies (see Patten, "Failure of Biologic Sociology," in Annals, 1894, IV, 919-47; and com- pare Small, in ibid., 1895, V, 740-46 ; Small and Vincent, Introduction, 87-96; Stuckenberg, I, 32; Ross, Foundations, 1 ff., 154-56, and Index at "organism" ; Reid, "Biological Foundations of Sociology," in A. J. S., XI, 532-54). h. Is the theory of the "social organism" without scien- tific value? Is it adopted by Ward? (see the de- fence of the use of biological analogies by Small, General Sociology, 74 ff. ;'and compare Spencer, in Westminster Revieiv, N. S., XVII (1860) ; Ratzen- hofer, Sociologische Erkenntniss, 165; Blackmar, Elements, 16 ff.; Giddings, Principles, 8 ff., 399; id&m, Inductive Sociology, 29, 182 ff. ; Ward, Pure Sociology, 565; Wells, "Social Darwinism," in A. S. S., I, 117 ff.). e. What is a "society"? (Simmel, in Annals, VI, 422; Hayes, in A. J. S., X, 625 ; Small, General Sociology. 405, 115 ff. (Spencer's view), 183 ff., 632 (Tarde's view) ; Ward, Pure Sociology, 565 ; Giddings, Ele- ments, 6; Fairbanks, 2-3; Gumplowicz, Grundriss, CHARACTERISTICS. 11 139 ft'., or in the translation, 136 ff. ; Giddings, In- ductive Sociology, 6; Stuckenberg, I, 1 ff. (descrip- tion) ; .Cooley, 1 ff., 84, passim; Tarde, Laws of Imitation, cliap. iii; 59-88; Spencer, Principles of Sociology, I, 447 ff. ; Adams, in A. J. 8., X, 208-27). d. Sociology must concern itself especially with man- to-man relations or associations (this point is best treated by Cooley, Human Nature and the Social Order; see particularly pp. 1-13, 79-101). 1) The social person is a "psychic fact"; a "group of sentiments attached to some symbol." 2) Society "in its immediate aspect is a relation among personal ideas." III. Divisions of Sociology. 1. It is distinguished (by Ward) as: a. Pure sociology: theoretical; objective; seeks to es- tablish the principles of the science. 6. Applied sociology: practical; subjective; seeks to establish the principles according to which the sociological "arts" or activities may be organized (see Ward, Pure Sociology, chap, i; Dealey and Ward. chap, i ; Henderson, "Scope of Social Tech- nology," in A. J. S., VI, 465). 2. When social mechanics or the social forces are empha- sized, sociology is either : a. Social statics : embracing especially social structure or institutions; or h. Social dynamics (kinetics) : embracing the phe- nomena of change, movement. But these are really divisions of "social mechanics" (see Ward, "Static and Dynamic Sociology," in Pol. Sc. Quarterly, X (1895), 203 ff . ; idem,, Pure Sociology, 3-7, 169 ff. ; Dealey and Ward, 159 ff. ; especially Ross, Foun- dations, chap, viii; and the criticism of Giddings, Principles, 57 ff.

(a defence of Spencer's organic concept); Ratzenhofer, Sociologische Ertienntniss. 1-2; espe- cially Carver, Sociology and Social Progress, Part I, 15 ff. Section II. Place of Sociology in the So-called Hierarchy OF THE Sciences. I. What is a Science? 1. ^'Methodized Knowledge'- relating to the laws of phe- nomena. 2. Therefore it is the domain of forces (see Ward, Pure Sociology, 40). 3. It rests on "faith"' in the universality of causation (Ward, Pure tiociology, 6; White, in Pop. 8c. Monthly, II. 730-39; Starcke, in Rev. International de Sociologie, January 1898, p. 17). 4. Does not consist in the "discovery of facts" (Ward, Pure Sociology, 6). 5. May be either "pure" or "applied": definitions? II. Classification and Filiation of the Sciences (Comte, Posi- tive PhiJosophy, II, 1.5-27, 29.5 ff., passim; Spencer, in Essays: Scientific and Political, II, 78 ff. ; idem. Recent Discussions, 06-70; Ward, Pure Sociology, 05-96; idem, Dynamic Sociology, I, chaps, i, ii, especially 143-49, on Comte and Spencer; idem, in Science, February 21, 1896; Dealey and Ward. 7-15; Giddings, Principles of Sociology, 45-51; Greef, Introduction, 5; idem, Lois Sociologiques, 1-35; Limanowski, "La Classification des Sciences et la Socio- logie," in Rev. Int. de Sociologie, July, 1894; Carver, 15-64). CHARACTERISTICS. 13 1. The logical or synoptical classification of Herbert Spencer; Ward's criticism. 2. Auguste Comte's '^hierarchy" of the sciences, being a genetic (tocological) or serial classification. Place of psychology (cerebral or transcendental biology) in his scheme? Of mathematics? (Comte, I, 20-27, 28 ff.; Ward, Applied Sociologij, 304-307, 310-11, 104; idejn, Outlines of Sociology, 122 fif. ; idem, in A. J. S., 1, 742 flf., VII, 634-35; idem, Pure Sociology, 90). a. Implies filiation, not strict hierarchical subordina- tion : the phenomena which these sciences present "diminish in generality and increase in complexity" in the ascending scale, &. Implies that in their evolution each higher science is the product or creation of the preceding (see III, below). III. Scientific Results of Filiation (Ward, Pure Sociology, chap, v; Dealey and Ward, chap. ii). 1. Illustrated by the analogy of sympodial development in Botany: Social evolution is sympodial. ff. Definition of "specialization." h. Definition of "evolution." 2. Creative synthesis. fl. Chemical synthesis. h. Art ideals: art aims at the improvement of imperfect nature; creative imagination; scientific imagina- tion ; relation to imitation. c. Social ideals: 1) Why the artist is apt to be a reformer? 2) The poetic idea : it is "a homogeneous undiffer- entiated truth" ; poesy and prophecy. d. Poesis: a form of creative synthesis. 1) Aesthetic creation: aims at the ideal; how differs from "telesis." 2) Inventive creation : aims at the useful ; value of scientific imagination. e. Genesis : the creative synthesis of nature. 1) Acts without an ideal; "organic" generation. 2) Dependence of the higher upon the lower sciences (Ward, Pure Sociology, 90-91). 3) Social consciousness or collective mind a product of "spontaneous creative synthesis." 14 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 4. The hierarchy of the synthetic creations of nature (see table in Ward, Pure Sociology, 94; Dealey and Ward, 57). 5. Sociology the highest of the sciences. a. Depends on the physical sciences. 6. Danger of relying upon analogies of the physical and other sciences; the "social organism" theory dis- credited (see the criticism of Ross, Foundations, 41-70; also Section I of the syllabus). c. Has the characteristics of a science. 1) The domain of forces and laws (Ward, Pure Sociology, 46). 2) A well differentiated subject matter. 3) How a science advances (Ward, Pure Sociology, chap. ii). Section III. The Relation of Sociology to the Other Social Sciences. I. Enumeration of the Social Sciences (see a list in Blackmar, Elements, 29-30; and compare Ward, in A. J. S., VII, 634- 35). II. Relation to History (Ross, Foundations, 81-84, 180-81; Small, General Sociology, 11-18, 44-62; Tarde, Laics of Imi- tation, 8-9, chap, iv, 89-139; Ward, Pure Sociology, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 55-58, 62; idem, Applied Sociology, 40, 82, 234. 311-12; Dealey and Ward, 13-14, 28-29; Giddings, Principles, 28, 54 ff., 66, 71, 302 ff. ; idem. Inductive Sociology, 8; Wells, in Am. Sociological Society, Puhlications, I, 118). 1. The philosophy of history is not sociology (so accord- ing to Barth, Die Pliilosopliie der Geschichte als So- ' oiologie) ; but sociology is pointing the way to a sounder philosophy of history ; various conceptions of history (see Barth as cited; and the summary by Small,' 44-62. Cf. Vincent, in A. J. S., XII, 4 flf.). 2. By broadening its province and deepening its meaning, history is drawing nearer to sociology. a. To a greater and greater extent the two sciences deal with homogeneous materials. 6. The extreme modern conception of history is that of Lamprecht (see his paper in Congress or Arts CHARACTERISTICS. 15 and Science, II, 111-124; idem, What Is History? (1905) ; and Dow, in American Historical Review, III, 431 ff.). 1) Lamprecht's phases of evolution. 2) His definition : ''History is priinaril}- a socio- psj'chological science." 3) The other so-called "social sciences" are also "mental sciences," with historj^ as a "universal foundation." c. Is history concerned merely with facts or isolated events; or is it governed by "laws"? (see the criti- cism by Ross, Foundations, 81-84, 180-181; and those of Ward, Small, and Tarde, above cited). III. Relation to Economics (Ross, Foundations, 25-27, 29-40; Giddings, Principles, 45, 50, 51, 67 fif. ; idem, "Relation of Sociology' to Economics," in Am. Ec. Ass., Piiblications, X, No. 3; Ward, in A. J. S., YII, 493 fif . ; Giddings, "The Eco- nomic Ages," in Pol. 8c. Quart., XVI, 193-221; idem, "The Economic Significance of Culture," in Pol. Sc. Quart., XVIII, 449-61; Small, General Sociology, 18-22; idem, "Re- lation Between Sociology and the Other Social Sciences," in A. J. S., XII, 23 ff.; "A Rejoinder," by Hoxie, in A. J. S'., XII, 739 ff. ; answered by Small, "Are the Social Sciences Answerable to Common Principles of Method"? in A. J. S., XIII, 1-19). 1. The most independent and well-defined of the social sciences. a. Rests especially on three natural desires or traits: 1) Desire for wealth: involving hunger, want, love of bodily ease (Ross, op. cit., 25 ff.). 2) Aversion to labor. 3) Reluctance to postpone present enjoyment. &. The economics of consumption of wealth is closely allied to sociology. 2, Examples of sociological problems arising in eco- nomics (see Ross, "Sociological Frontiers of Eco- nomics," in Foundations, 29-40). IV. Relation to Political Science (Ross, 19-22; Garner, in A. J. S., XII, 344 ff.). 1. Political science is concerned especially with the state, the chief "purposive organization" of the "social 16 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. constitution" (Compare Giddings, Priiiciples, 174 ff. ; Ward, Pure Sociologij, 206 fif., 549 ff.; Dealey and Ward, 292 ff., and Index at "State"; Spencer, Frm- ciple8, I, 437-43). a. As an art or "normative" science (Boss, 20). h. As a science of the phenomena of government : very closely related to sociology; social regulation. 2. Chief social forces revealed in the evolution of gov- ernment. V. Eelation to Comparative Jurisprudence. 1. Law as a part of the social regulative system. 2. Social forces involved : genesis of legal ideas ; historical jurisprudence. VI. Relation to Ethics (Ross, 17-19; Ward, Pure Sociology, 418 ff.. Index; idem, Psychic Factors, 102 ff. ; idem, Applied Sociology, 317-18, 326, 84, 287; Small, General Sociology, 653 ff.). ' • 1. Failure of the old ethics. 2. Ethics is in fact a part of sociology; significance of "social ethics." VII. Fundamental Relation to Psychology (Thomas, "Prov- ince of Social Psychology," in A. J. S., X, 445 ff. ; Ross, "Pres- ent Problems of Social Psychology," in A. J. S., X, 456 ff. ; the same two papers m Congress of Arts and Science, V, 860 ff. ; Ward, Psychic Factors). VIII. Relation to Other Sciences: Comparative Religion, Aes- thetics, noetics, ethnology, anthropology, genetics, eu- genics, etc. IX. Generalization as to the Place and Rank of Sociology Among the Social Sciences (see tables in Giddings, Prin- ciples, 49; Blackmar, 29, 31). 1. Sociology is emerging as a distinct science with its own proper field of research ; but the social sciences are interdependent. 2. Sociology is not an inclusive science, embracing the other social sciences as mere branches or divisions (contrary to Spencer). 3. Sociology is the highest of the social sciences, the mas- ter science; and, as the science of social phenomena, of social elements, principles, and laws, it is the "in- CHARACTERISTICS. 17 elusive social science'' (compare Ross, Foundations, chap, i; Giddings, Principles, 27 flf., 33 fif. ; Ward, Pure Sociology, 90-91, 67-G9; Dealey and Ward, 54). X. Suggested Practical Rule of Specialization : No Fixed Limits need be set as to the degTce in which the overlapping of the departmental areas of the social sciences is permis- sible. 1. Perhaps such overlapping should be in direct ratio to the intensiveness of the particular study or inves- tigation. 2. Perhaps, as a working guide it may be said that the results (laws, generalizations, truths) obtained in each science are available in all; while the processes are not; though even in the latter respect a fixed limit would often prove a hindrance to the free handling of materials.

Section IV. The Methodology of Sociological Study. I. ''The Basis of Method is Logic, and the Basis of Logic is the Sufficient Reason or Law of Causation" (Ward, Pu7-e Sociology, 45. Cf. Griddings, Principles, 52-53; Mill, System of Logic, Book VI). 2 18 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 1. The purpose of method is clearness; it is the principle of style (Ward, 45-6. See Spencer's essay on "Style") ; should be the basis of the educational cur- riculum. 2. The need of right method increases directly with the complexity of a science. Sociology is the most com- plex of the sciences ; if its results are less certain than those of the physical or mathematical sciences, they are more important. Comparison with biology and psychology. 3. "In the complex sciences the quality of exactness is only perceptible in their higher generalizations" (Ward, 48). Should the sociologist have an opinion on current questions? II. The Distinctive Method of Sociology is Generalization: The Grouping of Phenomena and Using the Groups as Units (Ward, 49 ff.). 1. Relativity of magnitude; the illusive effect of the "near." 2. The effect of distance, or its equivalent, is "intensive"; that of proximity is "extensive." 3. The mind's power of generalization depends upon in- herent capacity and equipment (knowledge) ; illus- trations; "ethnographic parallels"; governments; law universal in social phenomena, even those regarded Br as extraordinary (Ward, Pure Sociology, 53-54). 4. Law in history; historical determinism (Ward, 56 ff.) ; ; the problem of "free will" and causation (Ward, 57; Gumplowicz, "Actions ou Phenomenes," in Revue des \ Revues, Nov. 15, 1895). ' ff. Mesologv : influences of environment. Z>. The law of parsimony: "greatest gain for least ef- fort." III. All Scientific Methods Needful in Social Science: Deduc- tion, Induction, Indirect Deduction ("Generalization Inter- preted by Deduction"; see Giddings, 53 ff.). 1. Criticism of the use of terms "static" and "dynamic" (Giddings, 57 ff . ; Ward. "Static and Dynamic So- ciology," in Pol. Sc. Quart.. X, No. 2). 2. Proper and improper classification (Giddings, 60 ff.) ; examples: misuse of biological analogies. CHARACTERISTICS. 19 3. May errors of classification be avoided by attention to "ditferentiatioii'*? (Giddings, 63 fiP.)- 4. Use of "empirical generalizations" (Giddings, 04 ff.). 5. Use of "psychological synthesis'' (Giddings, G5-()9).

The "Social Aggregate" or an Entire "Society" Considered as One Organism. 1. Comparative sterility of the "panoramic" method; of generalizing fi'om supposed vast similarities or con- trasts. 2. Effect of the "widening of the ethnological horizon" : there are many "societies," each with its own "cycles" of evolution, its own experiences; value of the ex- plorations of Spencer, Letourneau, and the German investigators. 3. Social phenomena do not repeat themselves en masse (Tarde, Social Laws, 25). 4. Advantage of choosing small rather than large units (Ross, Foundations, 73-85). 20 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. a. Similarities or parallels. 1) Improper: nations, epochs, civilizations, revolu- tions, etc. 2) Proper: crowd, clan, secret society, minute cus- toms, tendencies, relations, processes, or changes, etc. 6. Contrasts: 1) Improper: Pre-Christian and Post-Christian, Jew and Gentile, Oriental and Occidental, Ancient and Western (Kidd), etc. 2) Proper: conflict and compromise, competition and combination, and other contrasts revealed in Ross's "Map." c. Causes (Ross, 78-85). 1) Proper. 2) Improper. II. The "Socius" : "Society Exists Whenever an Individual Has a Companion or Associate" : Hence the Socins is the Unit of Society or Social (jrroup (Giddings, Inductive So- ciology, 9; idem, Elements, 9-11. Cf. Cooley, Human Na- ture; and Bentley, in Annals, Y, 915 ff.). 1. Man as the concrete unit of investigation is too large; he is not all the product of association (cf. Ross, Foundations, 85-86). 2. This conception is inconsistent with the character of "personality" (see Cooley). III. Social Forces, Xot Socii as Individuals: Society is a Synthesis or Combination of Social Forces ( Stuckenberg, I, chaps, iv, v). This view not logical. lY. The Social Organ or Functional Group: Not the Unit; for there are Other Kinds of Groupings. V. The Group : Not the Exclusive Unit ; for there are also Relations constituting Social Bonds. VI. Relations : Not the Exclusive Unit ; for these are Ob- jective, and there are Subjective Facts (Ross, 87-8). VII. Institutions. 1. Not the exclusive unit; for there are temporary and il- licit groupings and formations of social significance. 2. Not the unit : for an institution is a grouping, rela- tion, or mode of action sanctioned by society, and there are actual elements of structure not so recog- CHARACTERISTICS. 21 nized; and the lower human or sub-human (animal) sociology is neglected. VIII. Social Imperatives, Being Socially Sanctioned Actions or Beliefs : Not the Exclusiye Unit ; for there are also IX. Uniformities or Planes not binding on the Individual. 1. Tendency to become coercive. 2. Dui'kheim's use of ''institution" not warranted. a. Includes too much. &. Excludes phenomena of crowds or ''social currents." X. Social Processes, the Primordial Fact Lying Back of the five Product-Units (Groups, Relations, Institutions, Im- peratives, Uniformities). 1. The most important part of sociological study, involv- ing an understanding of the vital elements of "so- cial forces" and "social psychology." a. Why process hitherto neglected in favor of a study of products. 6. How this neglect has caused living process to be mistaken for institutional survival (Ross, 92-3). c. Mistaken tendency to account for social life from a single process; whereas there are many processes. 2. Sequence and interaction of the social processes (Ross, 95-99). «. Carefully explain Ross's "Map of the Sociological Field"' (p. 98). Z). Compare this "map" with other analyses of the prov- ince of sociology (examine the table of contents of Gidding's Principles, Ward's Pure Sociology (slightly modified in form in Dealey and Ward's S Text Book) . Spencer's Principles, Schilffle's Bau und Lehen (Small, 158-66), and Greef's Intro- duction, I, 158 ff., 214; Small, 235).

ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY: THE SOCIAL POPULATION. Section VI. Size, Density_, and Concentration op Population. I. Preliminary Principles and Generalization (Seligman, Principles, 48-49; Giddings, Principles, 79-82; idem, Descrip- tive and Hist. >iociologi), 72 tf.. 91-92, 96-103; Kropotkin, ''Mutual Aid Among Animals." in Nineteenth Century, XXVIII, 702). 1. The study of population is partly economic, but mainly biological and sociological (cf. Ross, Foundations, 29 ff.). 2. Significance of aggregation. a. Is man naturally a social being? (Cf. Ward, Pure Sociology, 555-57; and Giddings, 79.) &. Aggregations or groups among animals, savages, and barbarians (Howard, llatrimonial Institutions, I, 01 ff., animal sociology). c. Rare examples of isolation (Lumholtz, ''Cave Dwellers of the Sierra Madre," in Memoirs of the International Congress of Anthropology, 1891; Seebohm, Tribal System in Wales, 46-17) ; isolation of faniilies and individuals in the U. S., the result of transient conditions. II. Influences Determining the Place and Extent of Aggrega- tion for Animals and Men. 1. Environment (Giddings, Desc. and Hist. Soc., 91 ff.). a. Drainage, altitude, temperature, humidity, soil, ex- posure. 6. Food supply (Espinas, Societes Animales, 461, pas- sim; Kropotkin. op. cit.. 700-706; Abbott, Natural- ist's Wanderings ; Giddings, 82 ff. ; Taylor, Anthro- pology. 207; Grey, Northwest and Western Austra- lia, il, 276-78). c.

S. east of lUOth merid- ian, 1790-1890 (Giddings, 8G-87). 2. Artificial conditions: man transforms the environ- ment. a. Aggregation favors further aggregation. 6. Creation of the secondary means of subsistence. c. Relative density of population in the hunting, pas- toral, agricultural, and industrial stages (Selig- man, 49; Roberts, Anth. Coal Communities, 11-12) : example. New England Indians in Colonial period. d. Sentiment may sustain a city : examples, Mecca, Jerusalem, Athens (Hogarth, Xearer East, 274). III. Resulting Size and Density of Population. 1. Probable population of the globe; of the United States; and of the principal countries, at successive periods (for Russia, see Milioukov, Essais, chap. ii. Compare Hogarth, Nearer East, 14G-67). 2. Density of population (Giddings, Dcsc. and Hist. Soc.^ io) . a. When industry is well developed density depends on wealth or the means of procuring food rather than on domestic or local food production: examples of France and England (Seligmau, 49-50). &. Relative present density in different countries (for Russia, see Milioukov, chap, ii, and the chart at the end of the vol. Compare Hogarth, 146-67). c. Relative density in different states of the Union (see map and diagram in Twelth Census, vol. on '"Popu- lation"; and in Seligman, 50-52). lY.

Babylon, Nineveh, Egbatana, Jerusalem, Tyre, and other great cities of ancient Asia. 6. Athens and other Hellenic cities. c. Rome and the Italian towns. d. Mediaeval cities (for these and the preceding groups, see Kai^ Biicher, in Die Grossstadt, 3-31). 24 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 1) Small size of German cities. 2) Small size of English cities. 2. Modern cities (Biiclier, in Die O-rossstadt, 3-31; and Weber, Growth of Cities, chap. iii. See section VIII, below). a. The great city is a modern phenomenon; its vast so- ciological significance. &. Influences determining the origin, character, and ex- pansion ; the ''industrial revolution" ; system of transportation ; location ; names. c.

Inst., I, 132-41; Bailey, 67-94). a. Relative numbers of the sexes: 1) In older and less civilized countries, often an ex- cess of males; causes of polyandry. ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY. 25 2) In Europe, about 1,064 females to 1,000 males; but the birth-rate of males exceeds that of females: why greater mortality'? 3) In America, 51.2 per cent, males; 48.8 per cent. females; but in Massachusetts, 51.3 per cent, fe- males ; in. Wyoming, 37.1 per cent, females. 6. Economic and social significance of the numerical disparity of the sexes? c.

ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY. 27 Section VIII. The Movement op Population. The Genetic Increase of Population. 1. The marriage rate (Maj^o-Smith, 1)3 ff . ; Seligman, 55- 56; Howard, III, 213 ff., 242 ff. ; Weber, 319-30; Bailey, 136-212, 347 ff.). a. The present rate in the United States; in other countries. &. Proportion of single persons (Seligman, 56). 1) In the country. 2) In the city. c. Movement of the marriage rate. 1) It is falling both in Europe and America: causes and signiflcance? 2) In America and England, for both adult and total population the rate is higher in the city than in the country ; but in the United States the cities have a smaller proportion of the married. Why? (See Weber, 319-30.) 3) In genera], the marriage age is rising (Weber, 326 ff.). 4) The marriage rate falls in hard times and rises on the recurrence of prosperity. 5) The rate rises with improvement in conditions favoring the employment of women. 6) Influence of migration on the rate (Weber, 328-9). 2. The birth-rate or fecundity; definition of ''crude" and ''refined" rates (Mayo-Smith, 65 ff . ; Bailey, 95 ff.). ff. The actual rate. 1) In the United States, about 35. 2) In other countries, varies from 22 in France to 50 in Russia and India. 6. Movement of the rate. 1) Causes of variation: race, economic conditions, occupation, prudential reasons, psychic causes; Fetter's law {Bevdlkerungslelire) ; Hadley, Economics, 48-49; Weber, 337-38). 2) The rate is falling rapidly in the eastern states; among native-born as compared with foreign born? in manufacturing districts as compared with agricultural and commercial? 28 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 3) Almost universally the "crude" rate is higher in the city than in the country; but not always th(- ''refined" rate. Rule in Prussia? In Saxony? In Massachusetts? 4) In the United States, families are larger in the city than in the country; while in France the re- verse is true; but there seems to be no direct connection between agglomeration and fecun- dity (Weber, 328-38). 5) Families are larger among the poorer and less in- telligent classes; the birth-rate diminishes as civilization advances; relation to "density" (Seligm.an, 57; Weber, 338 ff. ; Brownell, "Sig nificance of a Decreasing Birth- Rate," in Annals, V, 48-89, and many authorities there cited) : Reasons? The problem of "race-suicide"? 6) In mining and manufacturing populations the birth-rate is relatively higher than in agricultu- ral and commercial populations (Wappaus, II, 481; Newsholme, Yital Statistics, 57; Weber, 321, 341-42, and his Table CXLVI). 7) Effect of cityward migration on the rate (Weber, 342-3). 8) Proportion of illegitimate births: in the country as compared with the city (Weber, 404-406, 294-05, 332-33, 335-36, 362-63; Seligman, 55-56; Levasseur, II, 34, 206, 400-401). 3. The death-rate: mortality; importance of the refined rate (Mayo-Smith, 128 ff . ; Bailey, 213 ff.). a. The actual rate. 1) In modern communities 17-21 per 1.000. 2) In the U. S. (1900) 17 per 1,000. 3) Rate in various states and cities. 1). Movement of the rate (Weber, 343-67; "Vital Statis tics in New England" (1892), 57; Seligman, 57). 1) Causes: season, age, sex, race, sanitary condition. 2) The rate is slightly greater for males. 3) The average urban rate is larger than the rural; great decrease of the urban rate in recent times (Seligman, 59; Weber, 355-58). ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY. 29 4) Selected cities show a rate lower than the rural (Weber, 444). 5) Expectancy of life in city and country (Weber, 346-7). c. Vast sociological significance of the death-rate; waste of child-life and waste of human life in gen- eral is the real "race-suicide" (see Spargo, Bitter Cry of the Children) . 1) Sanitation and housing; milk inspection; open spaces and recreation (Weber, 349 ff.). 2) Pure food and water; temperance. 3) Scientific treatment of disease; evil of patent medicines. 4) Kavages of war compared with those of bad sani- tation. d. Historical illustrations. 1) Depopulation of Rome; vitality of Teutons; of ancient Greeks (Seeck, I, 201-202, 338-80; Pear- son, 71 ff. ; Gibbon, chap. ii). 2) Why the mediaeval English population was sta- tionary for 200 years. 3) Are the limits of the ''higher" races "unchange- able"? (Pearson, 31-00;" Ward. Applied Soci- ologij, 107-109, 236 (equivalence of races).) II. Congregate Growth of Population; Mobility. 1. Origin of free migration. a. Phenomena of migTation in early society (Giddings, Principles, 90 ff . ; idem, Desc. and Hist. Soc., 77 ff.). &. Checks to mobility in the middle ages, notably in England. c. Significance of the American doctrine of right of expatriation ; industrial and social influences fa- voring mobility. d. Composite character of human race through mo- bility. 2. Emigration and immigration in modern communities. a. Immigration usually swells population of new coun- tries while emigrntion does not often diminish that of old countries: effect of increasing birth-rate? 6. Problem of migration in United States. 1) Extent of immigration ; restrictive laws. 30 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. 2) Internal migration: Causes? Social effects? Evi- dences of a transition phase? 3) The problem of assimilation (see Simons, in A. J. .%VI, VII). c. The cityward flow of population. 1) Kelative increase through genetic and congre- gate growth (for Germany, see Biicher, in Die Grosssiadt, 3-31; Allendorf, Der Zuzug in Die Stadte; and compare Kuczynski, Der Zug nach dei\8tadt: :Nrilioukov, Essais. 27 ff.. 238 ff., for Russia). 3. Causes. a. General causes. 6. Influence of railways (Weber, 23-2.5). c. Influence of cheap and SAvift transportation on the expansion of cities {see Wells, Anticipations, 30-72; Weber, 409 ft'.). 4.

The Nature of the Social Forces or Human Desires (Wants^ Cravings). I. Criticism of Various Theories of the Social Forces (Ross, Foundations, 149-61; Small, General Sociology, 79, 80-90). 1. The so-called ''dualistic sociologj-" (Barth, 167-94). a. Alleged '^dualism" of Franklin H. Giddings {Prin- ciples of Sociologi/, 363-99, especially 363, 370). 1) Role of "cosmic energy" as social causation (physical social process). 2) Role of men's desires as social causation (psychic social process). 6. Alleged "dualism" of J. S. McKenzie (Introduction to Social PliUosophy, 369 ff. Cf. Small, 83-84; Barth, 172 ff.). c. Alleged "dualism" of Lester F. Ward (Small, 81-82; Barth, 167-72). See II below. 2. Theory of two sets of social factors (Ross, 150-52). fl. The external factors or environment : these are in- fluences or causes determining volitions. &. The internal or psychic factors : these are volitions, desires; the proximate causes of the telic event. e. Compare this form of "dualism" with the "dualism" of cosmic and psychic energy, as above considered. For the discussion of environment as a factor of social phenomena, see future syllabus. 3. The confusion of "needs" with "wants" (Ross, 152-54). a. Needs as "functions" or "welfare activities." 6. Wants (desires) include dynamic activities other than those necessary for welfare or survival. II. Desires (Manifestations of Feeling) are the Essential or Proximate Social Forces. 1. Great importance of Ward's doctrine {Dynamic So- ciology, I, chap. V, and Index at "Desire," "Desires," "Social Forces"; Psychic Factors of Civilisation, es- (32) FACTORS OR CAUSES. 33 pecially chaps, ix, xviii; Pure Sociology, chaps, vi, vii, ix, and practically all of Part II; "The Social Forces,'' in A. J. 1^., II, 82-95; Dealey and Ward, Parts I, II, III). a. His "dualism"; he insists on physical basis of psychic phenomena (see especially Pure Sociology, chaps. V, x; Dealey and Ward, chap. vii). &. His gi-eat contribution is the revelation of desires, feelings, as the essential or psychic social forces; sociolog}' a psychic fact. 1) Feeling is the dynamic agent; a connative cause or true "cosmic" force. 2) Intellect is the directive agent; a telle or "final" cause. 2.

The psychological process (Ward, PsycMc Factors, 15 fif.). 1) Sensation: either intensive or indifferent: basis of subjective psychology (chiefly the intensive). 2) Perception : the process produced by fixing atten- tion upon the notion or knowledge caused by sensation : the basis of objective psychology (chiefly derived from the indifferent sensations). 3) The scale or order of the senses passing from sub- jective to objective: touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight; but if emotion be included, it must come 'before toiich, because it is exclusively subjective (see below). 3. Resulting classification of the sensations or feelings. A. As to Origin. 1. Primary- or direct. a. Touch. &. Taste. c. Smell. 2. Secondary or indirect (derivative). d. Hearing (emotional). e. Sight (emotional). f. Emotion (so-called "sixth sense"). 34 GKNERAL SOCIOLOGY. B. As to Location. 1. External: the five senses (roughly classed). 2. Internal : the emotions : diffused ; caused chiefly by ideas or products of brain ideation ; produce no perception or direct knov.iedge. [•' C. As to Quality. 1. Intensive (sphere of subjective psychology). a. Pleasureable. 6. Painful. 1) Presentative or primary pain. 2) Representative or secondary pain (equal to desire). 2. Indifferent (sphere of objective psychology). a. Conscious. 6. Unconsious. 4. Subjective psychology ( Ward, . Psi/c/iic Factors, 20-24; idem, Pure Sociology, 97 ff. ; Dealey and Ward, 60 ff.). a. Has to do with the sensations, not the intellect. 6. Has to do mainly with the intensive sensations. c. Therefore hns to do especially with the emotions: these are the principal social forces or desires. 1) Produce no knowledge or perceptions. 2) Nerve currents only media. 3) Some of the emotional ganglia are connected with the cerebrospinal system; but the great emo- tional centers are connected with the sympathetic system, whose operations are internal and mainly unconscious. d. Variety or scope of the emotions (Ward, Psychic Factors, 52 &.). e. The connative faculty; philosophy of desire (see be- low). 5. Objective psychology. a. Has to do exclusively with perceptions and their "elaboration by the brain." Hearing and sight de- voted exclusively to furnishing perceptions; the other senses in less degree. &. Perceptions are registered in the brain by a physio- logical process. FACTORS OR CAUSES, 35 c.

Why there is Need of Classifying the Social Forces (Ross, Foundations, 161-64). 1. Hedonism : are social forces reducible to desire for most pleasure and least pain? (Cf.

Are some of the instincts mere survivals and there- fore meaningless uuder present conditions? i. Nature of the impulses. c. Significance of "play" (see Groos, Tlie Play of Ani- mals). 36 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. d. Reason destroys as well as creates interests, crav- ings, desires. 2. The social factor; imitation of the gratifications of the elite. 3. Hedonism and the ''law of parsimony" (Ross, 164; Ward, Pure Sociology, 161-63), 4. The problem of "pain-economy" and "pleasure-econ- omy" (Patten, in Annals, Snpp. to VII (1896), 59, 60, 75 ff.; Ward, Pure Sociology, 104-105, 283 ff.; idem, "Utilitarian Economics," in A. J.

Criticised by Ross, 165; idem, A. J. S., IX, 537). 1. Principle of his classification. a. Interests are the basis (lie back) of desires or par- ticular forces (see especially General Sociology, 534-35). 6. Interests are to desires as substance to attribute or as genus to species. We may be unconscious of the stimulating basic interests. These are "teleogical" (p. 431). c. Social process consists mainly of "conjunction of in- terests" and "conflict of interests" {Gen. Soc, 202- 203). 2. Enumeration of the basic interests or social forces. a. Health-interest: food, sex. work. 1). Wealth-interest. c. Sociability-interest. d. Knowledge-interest. e. Beauty-interest. f. Rightness-interest. III. Ratzenhofer's Classification ( Sociologische Erkenntniss, 54-66; Ross, 166; Small, 189 ff., passim. Cf. Fairbanks, 119 ff.). 1. Primitive or basic "interests." a. Race-interest : impulses centering in the reproductive functions. h. Physiological interest: hunger and thirst. B^ACTORS OR CAUSES. 37 2. Secondary interests, developing from the primarr. c. Egotic interest (from "a"). d. Social interest (from ''b"). e. Transcendental interest; from feeling of dependence on the infinite (cosmos). IV.

Enumeration of the classes of forces or desires (see the Table in Pure Sociology, 261; idem. Dynamic So- ciology, 1, 472; Dealey and Ward, 78; Ross, 1G7). "V. Stuckenberg's Classification (Sociology, I, 207 ff., and In- dex at "Forces"; cf. Ross, 1G7-68). 1. Fundamental. a. Economic (involves the desire for wealth). h.

Luxuries which express spiritual growth. h. Luxuries which express perverted tastes or desires. c. Unsocial or anti-social desires: "Conspicuous waste" (Yeblen, Theory of the Leisure Class). II. Illustrations of the Nature of the Desires in Their Relation to Progress. 1. Highly developed tastes, especially the literary, of the Roman senatorial nobles of 4th century; life on the villa (Munro, Mediaeval Civilization, 32-33). 2.

Social: that is contact through intercourse; accom- plished. 1) Through physical means of communication; or 2) Through psychic means of communication; assimi- lation is a psychological rather than a biological process (Simons, in A. J. S., VI, 801-803). 6. Assimilation has two elements : the active and the pas- sive. Their relative influence depends on three fac- tors (Simons, VI, 803-807). a. Relative culture state, &. Relative mass. c. Relatively intensity of race-consciousness. B. Kinds of Prelimitiary Processes. I. Assimilation by Environment (cf. Simons, in A. J. 8., VI, 815-16; Ward, Pure Sociology, 178, 180, Index; Giddings, Principles, 82 &., 120-21). 1.

By congi'egation : artificial clans or other societies ; or those partially formed of heterogeneous elements (see Howard. Matrimonial Inst., I, 12 ff., 296 ff. ; Hearn, Aryan Household; Lyall, Asiatic Studies, chap. vii). These groups may also "multiply by division." a. The union may be free: by alliance. h.

Sympathetic, homogeneous group of blood-kindred; exclusive; tends to regard the stranger as an enemy. 6. Congenial homogeneous group of the like-minded (sects, communal societies, etc) ; exclusive; rejects those not like-minded. c. Approbative heterogeneous group; sometimes law- less; usually tolerant (mining-camps, cattle-range, etc.). 2. Mainly artificial: consciously planned; usually hetero- geneous; compound; formed by conquest or federa- tion. d. Despotic or frontier : repellent and inhospitable to strangers (Russia, Turkey, Ancient Mexico, An- cient Peru, etc.). e. Authoritative: sanctioned by tradition; divine right. f. Conspirital : formed by disruption of old societies by force, intrigue, etc. g.

As essentially a psychic process conditioned by the physical process, it is distinguished from the phe- nomena of aggregation. 2. Its evolution begins in simple phases of feeling and per- ception and "develops through many complications, into activities that ultimately call forth the highest powers of the mind" (Giddings, op. cit., 100). 3. Therefore, abstractly considered, it represents phe nomena subsequent to those considered under "pre- liminary processes" and "genesis of society"; al- THE SOCIAL PROCESSES. 55 though in time, for the same social population, all three of these groups of processes overlap, and are constantly arising. II. Factors or Elements of the Associational Process. 1. Communication (Giddings, Principles, 102-16; idem, In- ductive Sociology, 111 ff. ; Cooley, Human Nature, 45-101; Shaler, The Neighbor, 36-40, 204 ff.

Imitation (Giddings, 109-16). 1) Tends to assimilate and harmonize: custom-imita- tion and mode-imitation (Tarde, Laws of Imita- tion, Index at "Imitation"; idem. Social Laws, 11-67) . 2) Tends also to create antagonisms or rivalries of imitations : the logical "duel" and "invention" (Tarde, Social Laws, 68 ff. ; idem. Laws of Imi- tation, Index). 3) In the end it produces toleration, co-operation, and other social structures. c. Development of sociability and personal ideas (Cooley, Human Nature, 45-101). 2.

Laws of the Psychic or Volitional Process. 1. Laws of imitation (with Giddings, 400-401; compare Cooley, 47 ff., and Ross, Foundations, 94, on the limits of imitation). a. Imitations spread in geometrical progression (Tarde, LatDS of Imitation, 20). 6. Imitations are refracted by their media (Tarde, Laws of Imitation, 22). 2. Laws of the social choice of social values. a. First law or "law of preferences among ends to be achieved"; dependent upon the following elements and criteria of the ideal good : 1) Personal force or virtue in the original sense. 2) Happiness with utility as the criterion : the hedon- istic or utiltarian ideal. 3) Integrity: meaning ''wholeness" of pleasure, of power, and of character. 4) Self-realization. These elements and criteria are subjective; and their influence decreases in the order above given ; "but if mental and moral evolution continues, the higher ideals must become increasingly influen- tial" (Giddings, 403, 408). 6. Second law or law of combination and means: 1) Populations with simple interests make conserva- tive choices. 2) Populations with varied and inharmoniously com- bined interests make radical choices. 3) Populations with many varied and harmoniously combined interests make consistently progressive choices. THE SOCIAL PROCESSES. 57 B. Laics of the Limitation of the Psychic Process by the Physi- cal Process (Giddings, 412-19; especially Ross, Social Con- trol, 338-49). 1. Law of selection : artificial selection is governed by sub- jective value (see Ross's analysis of the process). 2. Law of survival : survival is governed by organic and subjective utility. This law formulates objective physical conditions to which the social choice of the subjective values must conform. Is it true that society may "increase" the diversity or ditferentiation of the environment, but cannot "prevent" it? (Compare Giddings, 413; with Leslie Stephen, • in Conteinp. Review, LXIV, No. 2, August, 1893; Simon Patten, Social Forces, 12-17; Ward, Applied Sociology, 130 ff., 293, 123, 129, and Index; idem. Pure Sociology, 171-84). IV.

Spontaneous generation of values : "reciprocal sug- gestion and transfusion of feeling" through inter- course; convention. 6. Influence of the elite, of superior individuals (Ross, op. cit., 328 fit., 347-49). c. The force of tradition. 2. Control through social values (Ross, op. cit., 330 fif., 338 ff.). a. Selection and preservation of qualities and ideals. 6. Rejection and depreciation of qualities and ideals. B. Examples of the Products of Association: That is, of So- cial Values ami Desires. 1. Desire for the pleasures of association or sociability : the meaning of play? a. Among animals (Kropotkin, Mutual Aid, 21-31, 42 (squirrels), 44 (prairie dogs). 45-46 (hares), 54-55; 58 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY. Groos, Play of Animals; Giddings, Principles, 116- 17; Espinas, Societes Animales). b. Among men (Kropotkin, 90 if. (savages) ; Cooley, Human Nature, 45 ff. (the infant) ; Giddings, Prin- ciples, 117 fif.). 2. Desire for approbation of public opinion and its vari- ous manifestations (Cooley, Human Nature, 179-321). a. The social self (Cooley, 160, 171, 177-78). J). Recognition by others: ambition (Cooley, 170); vanity {idem, 203-205) ; independence {idem, 206- 207). c. Selfishness (Cooley, 182-83). d. Honor and courage (Cooley, 207 ff.) ; controlling force of honor among the Arabs (Hogarth, Nearer East, 260) ; high personal character dependent upon public opinion and group honor (Ross, Founda- tions, 320-21; Schreiner, "Stray Thoughts on South Africa," in Fortnighthj Review, July, 1896. See also Gulick, Evolution of Japanese; and Munro, Med. Cif., 713-45). e. Pride (Cooley, 201; Tarde, La Logique Sociale, 327). f. Hatred and sympathy: the origin (Shaler, The Neighhor, 22-27, 264, 269). 3. Desire to preserve the social order. a. Illustrated by Durkheim's law of suicide: "Suicide varies inversely with the degree of integration of the social groups to which the individual belongs" (Durkheim, Le Suicide, 223). Those firmly held in the bonds of family or group rarely commit suicide {idem., 228. Cf. Dumont, Depopulation et Civili- sation, 121; Greef. in A. J. S., IX, 76 fif.). 1). Illustrated by the causes of the rise and decline of the evils of the tribal spirit (Shaler, The Neigh- hor, 260-336, especially 280, 303, 307-36). c. Illustrated by the relaxation of conduct among half- breeds (Schreiner, in Fortnightly Review, July, 1896; Ross, Foundations, 320-21). GENERAL REFERENCES. Ross, Social Control. 225-37, 338-49; idem.

Query : May there be exploitation of one individual by another individual; as there is (according to the definition) exploitation of class by class? &. Query : Ai"e there inequalities of income and prop- erty which are not true forms of exploitation? II. Kinds or Species of Exploitation as Differentiated by Ross. 1. Of offspring by parents (Sewall, "Child Labor in the U. S." in Bulletin of Bureau of Labor, No. 52, pp. 528- 32; see also Bulletin, No. 62 (1906) ; Spargo, Bitter Cry of the Children; and University Card Catalogue at "Child Labor"). 2.

Customs, 215 If., exploitation of peasants; Clark, "Labor Conditions in Java," in Bulletin of Bureau of Lahor, No. 58, pp. 933 ff.). 4. Of the smaller number by the larger number. 5. Of the industrious by the leisured (Payne, Hist, of Am. II, 21-2. 52-53, 55-56, 57-60). 6. Of the ignorant by the intelligent. 7. Of the (physically) weaker by the (physically) stronger. 60 GENERAL SOCIOLOGY, 8. Of the unorganized by the organized. 9. Of those who compete by those who combine. 10. Of the just and sympathetic by the unjust and unsym- pathetic. 11. Of the laity by the priests (Abbott, Religious Life in America, 127 and note ,1). 12.

Of less capable by the more capable: note how the new invention, or acquistion, or other new good be- comes, at first, a new means of exploitation. III. Ross's Laws of Exploitation. 1. ''Other things being the same, exploitation will be more open, ruthless, and stubborn between the unlike than between the like" (compare his ISocial Control, 25; and his Foundations, 286). 2. ''A close-knit group animated by a class-consciousness and spirit will be more ruthless in exploitation than a more loose collection of individuals will be" (com- pare his Social Control, 71, 75, 86, 346, and Founda- tions. 288-89). 3. "Different sections of society differ in original disposi- tion to exploit" (see Foundations, 286-87). 4. ''The will to exploit lasts as long as the power to ex- ploit" (compare Kidd, Social Evolution, 172-76; with Sombart, Socialism, 109-10). 5. "Whatever equalizes classes in respect to intelligence, organization, numbers, economic strength, physical strength, etc., narrows the power of one to exploit the other" (cf. Taine, Ancient Regime, Book IV, chap, iii ; Ward, Pure Sociology, 208-209 ; Strong, So- cial Progress (1904) ; Dawson, South America). THE SOCIAL PROCESSES. 61 G. "The formation of a population element neither exploit- ing nor exploited is apt to yield a body of opinion sym- pathetic with the exploited and critical of the ex- ploiters. The larger and the more influential this body of neutrals the more exploitation must become attenuated and disguised" (see Gumplowicz, Outlines of Sociology: Commons, Trade Unionism (on public opinion) ; Day, ''Experience of the Dutch with Tropi- cal Labor,"' in Yale Review, IX, 61 ff'., on Dekker's ''Max Havelaar"). 7. ''Domination from without tends to suppress infra- social exploitations." 8. "Clandestine exploitation outlasts open exploitation and superstition and fraud are fused as props after force has ceased to be available." 9. "Opportunities for clandestine exploitation multiply as social relations become more involved and co-operation more complex and far-reaching" (see Jenks, Report on English and Dutch Colonies, 143).
