This book is by no means an abstract volume addressed to the scholarly reader. It is concerned throughout solely with those conceptions and ideals of the Japanese people in the early part of the twentieth century whose clear comprehension and practice by all members of the community is conceived as essential for the healthy development of national life. No other nation in history has passed through such radical changes so successfully in such a short period of time. Anyone interested in discovering the basis of Japan's long-term phenomenal success will find this volume interesting.
