It Is to be realized that the successive stages represent characteristicphases of normal and continuous growth, and hence that their relationsare intimate and complex. The fundamental factor of the growth isintellectual advancement, and hence in actual life each stage is at oncethe germ and the foundation for the next higher; each stage is charac-terized by a type or a cognate series of types, yet each commonly con-.

Thecomplex relations conceived to exist among the stages can be indicatedmore clearly by diagraphic representation than by typographic arrange-ment, and such a representation is introduced as figure 38. The succes-sive curves in the diagram express the rhythmic character of progressand the cumulative value of its interrelated factors, as well as the domi-nance of successive types until gradually sapped and absorbed (thoughnot immediately or completely annihilated) by higher types reflectinga strengthened mentality.
