Abstract
THE future of any nation is secure if it lives up to its possibilities. The nation which does this is bound to be a leader among nations and to command world-wide respect. Its national problems will be solved, and solved intelligently and thoroughly. The greatness of a man is in part born in him and in part the product of his environment. According to eminent, biologists, he is about two-fifths born and three-fifths made. Similarly, a nation is great according to its resources and according to its development of these resources. And the development of those resources may be accomplished only through organised knowledge.
