The muscles must be used, the hand and eye must have opportunity to coordinate or something will surely go to smash. The vast majority of medieval artisans merely followed designs made by master workmen-even as We find it in the Orient today. The level of monoto- nous Work under machine technology for great classes of occupations is held by Mr. Beard to be not worse, but better than in the handicraft eras. Compare, he says, life in the latifundia of Rome or the cities of modern China with the life of a machine worker. Those who are prepared to sacrifice the standard of living for millions to provide conditions presumably favourable to the creative arts, must assume a responsibility of the first magnitude. Certainly many of the skills of England were ruptured when Watt's engines began to pound. Handloom Weavers, chain and metal Workers, tailors, cabinet makers, Were driven first to reduce their prices, then to sweat the labour of all the members of their families, and nnally to the Wall. The destruction of the labourer's only capital, his skill, is one of the most pernicious effects of machinery, and when it happens, there is and can be no remedy: still if the changes are gradual, the evil consequences are not so great -wrote Professor Nicholson in Page Ninety-seven

Mr. Freeman will say that there has been psychic loss, but biology does little to befriend him: he cannot prove it. Specialization forces men to be less anarchic and more cooper- ative. a clear gain economically, and for all anybody knows, biologically as well. Specialization can be carried to fantastic limits and become an active social disease. That it has been so carried, here and there in the modern world, is not to be denied. but this is no argument against specialization as such, but only against its misuse. In short, if I had to be wrecked on Pelen Island. I would choose the crew of the Antelope, but not confident of this disaster, I prefer to live in a suburb of New York, befriended by the experts who provide me with electric lights, a bathroom, and a furnace. If skill itself has disappeared, the situation becomes far more serious.

l892. Skill in this connection means the loss of an opportunity to sell an acquired manual art at a price which would have obtained if machinery had never been introduced. The industrial revolution ruthlessly destroyed skill as so dehned: nearly all the crafts were battered if not entirely undone. But this only disposes of certain sorts of dexterity. Granted that they were ruined, did not others arise to take their places? They did. Consider the skilled intelligence needed to design, build, install, repair, and inspect the new engines and mechanical devices. The skilled machinist, boilermaker, toolmaker, engineer, fireman. plumber, electrician, made their first appearances on any stage. Nleanwhile great numbers of the class which, in the earlier dispensation, would have been common labourers, diggers of ditches, went to work tending machines. Their tasks were repetitive and simple, but many observers believe that they took a step upward in the ladder. They had to know more than on the old job.
