WHILE THE OCCIDENTAL TRIBES STILL WANDERED ABOUT IN A PASTORAL AGE, THE ORIENTALS HAD DEVELOPED A HIGH PLANE OF CIVILIZATION, THE UNEDUCATED MASSES HAD A GREAT RESPECT FOR THE LEARNED MAN. THIS FEELING IS SO GREAT IN CHINA THAT IN BUSY SECTIONS OF CITIES THERE ARE SHRINES TO THE WRITTEN WORD, CONSISTING OF A CONTAINER INTO WHICH ANY SCRAP OF PAPER BEARING CHARACTERS IS DEPOSITED. OUT OF THE ORIEN- TAL WORLD WITH ITS REVERENCE FOR THE LEARNED MAN CAME THREE OF THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON THE THINKING OF MANKIND: BUDDHA, CONFUCIUS, AND CHRIST. THESE MEN TAUGHT THE VIRTUES OF PEACE, OF BROTHERHOOD, OF THE GOOD LIFE. NO ONE EVER HOLDS A DOUBT THAT WITHOUT OUR TEACHERS, CIVILIZATION, AS WE KNOW IT, COULD NOT CONTINUE. WHAT IT IS HAS DEVELOPED FROM THE TEACHINGS OF THE PAST, WHAT IT WILL BE MUST JUST AS SURELY DEPEND ON THE TEACHERS OF THE PRESENT. 6
