Synopsis:
Excerpt from Man's Control of His Environment
As a result of long, hard effort man has increased enormously his power to produce the materials for food, clothing, and shelter. Similarly he has brought under control many Of the conditions which in the past have been major causes Of ill health. Energy from natural re sources, that is, from coal and falling water, has replaced in large measure the muscular energy of man. Thus man has been freed from hard labor and, to a greater extent than ever before, has time for leisure pursuits. Through this leisure there has come to the individual an opportunity to gain understanding of himself and of the environment of which he is a part.
The achievements in control Of the environment have come, in large part, through the applications Of the methods of scientific study. Since these methods are relatively new in the history of the race, the great achievements in control have come fairly recently. In fact, the achievements have come so fast during the past century that it has been diffi cult to make needed adjustments. The story of changes in the activities Of man is in a sense a story of progress toward gaining his main desires. In order that you may take your place in society it is important that you study these achievements.
