SUGGESTIONS.
I propose in this last chapter to make some suggestions, which, I venture to hope, will be found worthy of consideration and adoption.
The causes of so much misery, suffering and poverty in a rich and self-governing country are numerous; and every cause needs a separate consideration and remedy.
There is no royal road by which the underworld people can ascend to the upperworld; there can be no specific for healing all the sores from which humanity suffers.
Our complex civilisation, our industrial methods, our strange social system, combined with the varied characteristics mental and physical of individuals, make social salvation for the mass difficult and quite impossible for many.
I shall have written with very little effect if I have not shown what some of these individual characteristics are.

They are strange, powerful and extraordinary.

So very mixed, even in one individual, that while sometimes they inspire hope, at others they provoke despair.
If we couple the difficulties of individual character with the social, industrial and economic difficulties, we see at once how great the problem is.
We must admit, and we ought frankly to admit the truth, and to face it, that there exists a very large army of people that cannot be socially saved.

What is more important, they do not want to be saved, and will not be saved if they can avoid it.
