It lies within the power and province of humanity to build a highway over which the childhood of the whole world can safely travel and reach a noble manhood and womanhood. The aim of this book is to point out the abundant means and material which have been provided for constructing such a highway. We undertake to live and make ourselves content with that degree of comfort which is possible for all the world to have who will work as hard as we do, waste no more than we do, and be as easily satisfied as we are with what is reasonable and possible for the multitude to have. This book is dedicated to the busy people the world around who are doing lifes necessary work, and who have helped to make our travels possible and comfortable; with the hope and belief that it will assist in opening the doors of opportunity to all children, and will aid in placing within their reach the great essentials for a noble manhood and womanhood.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental principles needed to improve the lives of the world's children. Its author presents a philosophical system to create a "highway" toward a noble adulthood for every child. He argues that poverty and the ills of society stem from poor decision-making and a lack of self-discipline. He stresses the importance of intelligence, capability, honesty, and freedom as the pillars of a self-mastery system. Religion, education, business, and science are the essential agencies for developing these traits. Through personal stories and examples from his travels around the world, the author illustrates how this system can elevate both individuals and nations. By advocating for the eradication of harmful practices like alcohol and tobacco use, the book promotes a holistic approach to personal and societal betterment. It argues that the wisdom and principles of a "Great Companion" can guide humanity toward a better future, where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
