Description: "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 practice by all members of the community is conceived to be essential for the health 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 thoughtful about discovering the basis of Japan's long term phenomenal success will find this volume interesting."--BOOK JACKET.
