. Where half the world is waking up; the old and the new in Japan, China, the Philippines, and India, reported with especial reference to American conditions. equality of opportunity so that each man will work where hiseffort will mean most in human service. Knowledge or educa-tion not only cuts the shackles which chain a man down to afew occupations, not only sets him free to labor where he canwork best, but is also itself a productive agency — a tool withwhich a man may work better. Take the simple fact that cowpeas gather nitrogen from theair: a man may harness this scientific truth, use it and set itto work, and get results, profits, power, from it, as surely asfrom a harnessed horse or steam engine.
