This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911.

The Journal Of Race Development offers itself as a forum for the discussion of the problems which relate to the progress of races and states generally considered backward in their standards of civilization.

The subjects treated will cover the whole field of a people's life--government, education, religion, industry and social conditions. The races and states which will be most frequently discussed, will be those of India, the Near East, Africa and the Far East--excepting Japan, whose civilization is on a substantial equality with that of the nations of the West.

This feeling is due in part to the increased importance of these lands in the political and economic life of the West. Great Britain believes that her imperial position depends upon the maintenance of her control over her dependencies in Asia and Africa. The problem of how best to govern the nations of India is only secondary in England itself to such questions as those of the budget and the House of Lords; while Colonel Roosevelt's recent discussion of the British administration in Egypt has a...
