Vicious circles in sociology and their treatment . es so manysocial disorders. The provision of suitable em-ployment, the teaching of a trade, the removalto a healthier home, an outfit in clothes and tools,temporary assistance in securing more abundantand nutrient food, a holiday at the seaside or inthe country may in different circumstances beeffectual means of releasing from bondage, andthus allowing the healthy economic forces toresume their beneficent sway.

Chapter ^ivc. CONCLUSION LTHOUGH this monograph is far fromexhaustive, enough has been said toestabHsh several propositions : Firstly. Many social disorders are complicatedby the presence of a Circle. Secondly. This complication aggravates andperpetuates such disorders. Thirdly. In order to effectually remedy suchdisorders they must be analysed into the recip-rocally acting factors. This will facilitate thediscovery of the locus minoris resistenticB. Fourthly. Since every gyration deepens thegroove and makes escape the more difficult,the social reformer must ever bear in mind, andact upon, the aphorism of Cicero : ^ Omnemalum nascens opprimitur : inveteratum fitplerumque robustius/ ^ ^ Every evil is easily checked at its beginning : ifallowed to grow it generally gathers in strength. 5^ey -^??AA_ Abstinence pledge . .AccoutumanceAdvantages of the CircleAlcoholism, cf.
