Thus the Anglo-Saxons are not
prominent as organizers, but
rather are likely to be muddlers ;
the present worlds wat affords
an excellent illustration hereof.
Thus the Anglo-Saxon creates
and originates, but does not
organize what he created.

The Teuton does not have

As the result, the Teutons,

Characteristic OF the Celtic
race is the strong collectiyistic
temperament, associated with an
individualistic nature, which
specially fits them as admin
strators. 1t is the Celt who is
most proficient to rule as boss
by the consent OF the governed,
not as disciplinarian by orders
which his subordinates have to
obey, but by giving the coneep-
