CHAPTER XXIII EDUCATION AND SCIENCE SOME years ago it seemed to be thought that any one who considered the welfare of other nations as well as his own was no true patriot. Fortunately the present state of things must put an end to that selfish and shortsighted provincialism. Even a nation is not an end in itself; and the wide area of the present calamity, and the number of nations which have been drawn into it, are a sign of the progress that has been already made towards union. Honourable behaviour of a national kind has also received a stimulus, if only from the utter disgust which conspicuous and flagrant dishonour has aroused. The intercourse between man and man, even in the competitive scheme known as business, is governed on the whole by considerations of personal honour; though it is admittedly a little hard sometimes, especially for an inexperienced novice in commerce, to know what will be considered honourable or otherwise. But though there may be a difficulty in drawing the line, and though it is in some places rather perilously elastic, there is no doubt at all that a man who distinctly oversteps it and over-reaches his neighbour by sharp practice is stigmatized as dishonourable; and it is further recognized that, on the whole, honourable behaviour pays better than the reverse. Complexity of scheming, or shall we say duplicity, is not appreciated; it is universally condemned as double dealing. A certain kind of strong simplicity is favourably regarded and exerts a beneficent influence. Single-mindedness --simplicity--the opposite of duplicity--is on the whole what we aim at.
