Today The Average Inhabitant Of The Western Hemisphere Knows A Little Of Everything. He Has The Newspaper On His Breakfast Table And Wireless Within Reach. For The Evening There Is The Film, Cards, Or A Meeting To Complete A Day Spent In The Office Or Factory Where Nothing That Is Essential Has Been Learnt. With Slight Variation This Picture Of A Low Cultural Average Holds Good Over The Entire Range From Factory-hand Of Clerk To Manager Or Director. Only The Personal Will To Culture, In Whatever Field And However Pursued Raises Modern Man Above This Level.
