CHAPTER XII.
The New Phase.

pN He task that lay before the as
s. sembly of Brissago, viewed, as
~ we may view it now, from the
clarifying standpoint of things
accomplished was in it's broad issues
simple one. Essentially it was to
place social organization upon the new
footing that the swift. accelerated ad-
vance of human knowledge had rem
dered necessary. The council was
gathered together with the haste of a
salvage expedition, and it was con-
frOnted with Wreckage, but theswreck-
age was irrepara bic Wreckage, and the
only possibilities of the case were Ell
ther the relapse of mankind to the ag-
ricultural barbarism from which it had
emerged so painfully or the acceptance

development of atomic science did but
precipitate and render rapid and dra-
matte clash between the new and the
customary that had been gathering
since the first flint was Clipped or the
first fire built together. From the day
when man contrived himself a tool and
suffered another male to draw near him
he ceased to be altogether a thing Of
instinct and untroubled convictions.
From that day forth widening breach
can be traced between his egotistical
passions and the social need. Slowly
he adapted himself to the life Of the
homestead and his passionate impulses
Widened out to the demands of the
clan and the tribe. But widen though
his impulses might the latent hunter
and wanderer and wonderer In his
imagination outstripped their develop
ment. He was never quite subdued to
the soil nor quite tanned to the home.
Everywhere it needed teaching and the
priest to keep him within the bounds
Of the plough life and the beast tend
ing. Slowly a vast system of tradf-
tiOnal imperatives superposed itself
upon his instincts, imperatives that
were admirably fitted to make him that
cultivator, that cattle minder, who was
for twice ten thousand years the nor
NAL man.
And, unprecedented, undesired, out
of the accumulations of his till1ng
came civilization. Civilization was the
