Abstract
ONE of the prime needs at the present time is the development of research in the social and biological sciences on a scale commensurate with the prosecution of research in the physical sciences in the past. This would replace our ignorance of social change by the precise knowledge upon which effective control depends, and would also assist in dispelling the misunderstandings or misinterpretations of social and economic history which lie at the root of many prejudices and other influences opposed to rational change.
