ABSTRACT
X N ancient times when the standards of civilisation were low and requirements simple men were satisfied if they were able to obtain suitable clothing, food, and lodgings. These
three requirements were necessities even in the simplest state of society. With the advance of human civilisation the nature and quality of men's requirements developed and greatly increased in number. They were no longer limited to the satisfaction of the three basic necessities. To-day the demand for the satisfaction of an ever-increasing multitude of new requirements on the part of society is becoming clamorous indeed. In order to satisfy the material and mental needs of the present age each individual must do his part in increasing national wealth and national production by the industrious cultivation of his business or profession. If this is an obligation which all the world acknowledges how much more must it be the supreme duty of the subjects of this land, which stands in lofty grandeur upon the borders of eastern Asia!
