ABSTRACT
The European was a woodsman with a love of nature, and after he obtained the inspiration of a moral and spiritual uplift, he developed a scientific tendency. The Hindoo crystallized as a religionist, and the Chinese as a moralist, and the educational systems they developed were a result of this tendency. No science has ever originated and been carried to any degree of perfection as a science in Asia; just as no religion that originated outside of Asia has ever amounted to anything as a religion. No great invention was ever made and developed by an Asiatic in Asia. Child's play and toy making have been scientifically studied in Europe, and organized into a great business, as is seen in the modern Kindergarten and great toy factories and children's book publishing establishments. But toys such as are made in great factories in Europe, are still made by poor men and women in oriental hovels and homes.
