Stacy Conrad Farrier of Montreat. His mother graced the speaker’s table. Mr. Farrior grew up in China and has had an active career in the Far East. Everv two or three years the State Department recalls him for a full report to give him an op portunity to be brought up-to date on conditions in the Uni ted States. Mr. Farrior stat ed that anyone who had seen Japan just after the war would now be astounded at the change from widespread des truction to modern buildings. He would be witness to a continuing explosion of pecu lation, wealth, skills and hu man energy, resulting in a fantastic prosperity. All this in a country about half the populaiton ot the United States and about one-half the size of California.

A country that finds its hydro electric flow being used to the limits and is turning to ther mo power. Mr. Farrior’s own theory as to tire principal element in in Japn, is not raw materials or sources of energy but edu cation. Education is free for the first nine years. After that entrance to schools and universities is by competitive examination. The Japanese youth has a fierce competitive spirit and will to excel.
