NOTE
These chapters were originally published during 1907 and 1908 in SuccessMagazine. Though frankly journalistic in tone, the book presentssomething more than the hasty conclusions of a journalist. During itspreparation the author travelled around the world, inquiring into theproblem at first hand in China and in England, reading all availableprinted matter which seemed to bear in any way on the subject, andinterviewing several hundred gentlemen who have had special opportunitiesto study the problem from various standpoints. The writing was not begununtil this preliminary work was completed and the natural conclusions hadbecome convictions in the author’s mind.
