Excerpt from Japan and Its Trade
After all, as Mr. John Morley once told the Midland Institute at Birmingham, long before the establishment of a commercial Uni versity (with a Chair of Commerce) in that city, the best thing that can happen to a young man of average abilities is that, after follow ing the elementary and higher education in his own town, he should, at the earliest convenient moment, be taught to earn his own living.' To earn a living by honest work should be the elementary aim of every good citizen; but let the wage-earning and the profit seeking be preceded by a training which will make his daily work an intelligible part of an intelligible whole, and help him to continue his education through life, to unravel bit by bit the haming mysteries of Nature's laws and man's disobedience.
