Shall We Be Called
 The Miser State?

We are 32nd in wealth, 5th in cotton 4th in lumber and rice, 1st in bauxite, diamonds and straw berries. However to the sad regret of every thinking citizen. we are 46th in education.
 Shall we suffer from spiritual poverty, mental embarrassment. miserliness -denving ourselves things better than money. but which money will buy?
 God made us 1st in diamonds who made US 46th in education?
