The study of matter, divided as it is into a number of elements,
offers an interesting field for study and research work, as does
also its concomitant Cosmic Energy.

Compared to your Earth, industry on Mars, by the aid of
labor-saving devices is perfect: and as a consequence the use of
energy is considerable, especially so in the realm of Synthetic
Chemistry. But it must be understood that the individual is
taught that dependence must be placed rather on one's own
dexterity, born of that God-given faculty of Intuition, than on
the perfectness of a man-made machine, the creation of finite
mind.

For it has so happened to races on other planets that complete
degeneration and final extinction has come about by the entire
dependence of the individual and afterwards of the entire race,
on machinery to do the work required of the individual by the
Creator, such dependence finally terminating in almost complete
atrophy of the worker's intuitional faculties.

This calamity will surely overtake your future generations if a
halt is not called on the over-zealous adoption of automatic
machines for most every line of industrial activity. You are now
getting to the stage where the most simple and elementary
mathematical problems are solved by merely pressing a few buttons
or turning a crank, the operator understanding little or nothing
of the fundamentals underlying the solution of the problems in
hand. This means, in the near future, brain atrophy through
disuse.
