Mr. W.D. Spanton (Leeds) considered that the most prominent causes of physical degeneration were—efforts to rear premature and diseased infants, absurd educational high pressure, cigarette smoking in the younger generation, and late hours at night; in fact, the love of pleasure and ergophobia in all classes of society. He considered that there was too much cheap philanthropy, that life was made too easy for the young poor, and that by modern educational methods proper parental discipline was rendered almost impossible.

W·D·斯潘顿先生（利兹）认为身体退化的最主要原因是：试图抚养早产儿和患病婴儿、荒谬的教育高压、年轻一代的吸烟和夜间熬夜； 事实上，所有社会阶层都热爱享乐和工作恐惧症。他认为，慈善行为过于廉价，年轻穷人的生活过于轻松，而现代教育方法使得适当的家长管教几乎不可能。[英国医学协会第73届年会报告，刊于《自然》杂志，1905年8月3日]
