(ORAL THEOLOGIAN:
Boulding Cites Malthus' Ideas
Across Campus
EVOLUTION:
Fitts Notes Learning Phases
By KENNETH WINTER
As a moral theologian, Thomas
Malthus faced the "total night-
mare" of how he could reconcile
his depressing theory of popula-
tion with the idea of a benevolent
God, Prof. Kenneth B. Boulding
of the economics department said
recently.
From this dilemma, Malthus
came up with a unique system of
moral theology, Prof. Boulding
went on.
Malthus, a 19th-century econ-
omist and a devout Christian, is
best known for a series of essays
"on the principle of population."
Dismal Theorem
Malthus asserted that if there

s
growth, it tends to expand to the'
limit of the food supply, at which
point misery and starvation stab-
ilize human numbers. Prof. Bould-
ing tagged this the "dismal theor-
em."
Malthus also formulated the
"utterly dismal theorem," which
stated that whenever new discov-
eries enable man to expand his
food supply, the population simply
expands until an even larger
number of people are miserable.
The crux of Malthus' moral
theology, however, pointed a way
out of this perpetual misery, Prof.
Boulding said. It holds that "ac-
tivity"-as opposed to indolence-
can remove evil," he explained.
Evil Teaches
"The function of evil is to teach
us, to raise us to a higher level
of organization. Man's problems
will not solve themselves-this is
what Malthus had to say," Prof.
Boulding explained.
Thus, despite his "dismal theor-
ems," the "long-run optimism of
Malthus is his faith in man to
create activity," he added.
Prof. Boulding noted that Malt-1

By MICHAEL SATTINGER
"Skilled learning proceeds grad-
ually toward ever-increasing inte-
gration and hierarchial organiza-
tion," Prof. Paul M. Fitts of the
psychology department said yes-
terday.
"This learning evolution is an-
alogous to man's revolution. The
progression is continuous, but
stages exist."
In the first stage, the cogna-
tive phase, an adult learns what
is relevant to a problem and what
type of skills are used. Verbal in-
structions are often employed.
Coordinates Skills
The individual then proceeds to
coordinate the various compon-
ents of the skill he learned in the
first stage and to practice that
skill to eliminate errors.
The final phase of learning
evolution is gradual improvement
of speed and ability.
For instance, in learning to
swim, a man first receives basic
instructions and is taught the basic
components-breathing, stroking
and kicking. Then these compon-
ents are put together during the
second stage so that the individ-
ual actually swims. The third
stage is practice, which is the
most time-consuming.
Pilot's Reaction
Prof. Fitts defined skilled per-
formance as being either a man's
responses to his senses-such as
a pilot's reaction to , cockpit
gauges - or his performance in
carrying out such sequential ac-
tions as the process of swimming.
"There is increasing evidence
that many functions - such as
steering a car-are performed in-
termittently. That is, a man's
thoughts turn to some part of his
senses, process the information,
make a response and then go on
to face other problems.
"Man is today being viewed
more and more as a sampled-data
feedback system."
The time a human takes to
reach a decision varies with the
way in which the information is
coded, Prof. Fitts said. Hereditary
and cultural backgrounds build up
learning habits which are hard to
break.
"Where one finds great diffi-
culty in teaching students - be-
cause of either the time or the
errors-one can either select bet-
ter students or change the way in
which the information is coded.
"Educators should consider cer-
tain processes of thinking, such as
making medical diagnoses, as be-
ing a skill," Prof. Fitts added.
r
PROF. KENNETH BOULDING
... Malthus and morals
hus' essays are "not really a work
in population. Malthus wasn't a
demographer; there's not much in
his theory of population that isn't
taken from Adam Smith."
Main Contribution
His main original contribution
was in seeing "the principle of
population as the source of moral
and natural evil," Prof. Boulding
said.
"It represents a very evolution-
ary view of moral theology," he
said.
