c6.s3.42

One may not believe so much in national systems in economic life and organization in the larger interests of the collective welfare of mankind, but there can be no doubt about the national system in education, aiding in the evolution of each nation along its own lines, so that it may make its particular contribution to the culture of mankind. "God has written a line of His thought on the brow of every nation" [Mazzini]. It is the supreme duty of every nation to preserve and unfold its own genius and individuality. The culture of a nation, the civilization of a country, is the product of its system of education.
