Judson, has opened the way for me to visit the Orient and deliver my life-message there on the foundation of the Barrows Lectureship. The limits of time and space precluded detailed discussion of the vast themes which are opened up in the lectures here presented. But the necessity of selecting elements from the social activities of Europe and America which might have value in the Orient under widely different conditions, compelled a consideration of the materials from a new point of view. Instinctively the mind sifts the ideas which must be transported across the ocean, and gives to them a different form and dress. While in attendance at the memorable "social week" at Zurich in September, 1912, my colleagues in the three great international associations for labor legislation, added to the responsibilities of my journey in the Orient, by asking me to present their aims wherever it was possible in India, China, and Japan. For this mark of their confidence I am truly grateful, and I have done what I could to carry out their wishes as expressed in the official letter herewith printed and signed by men made famous throughout the world for their high merit as servants of humanity and social science. While my grateful appreciation of courtesies and friendly service shown me by numerous kind persons cannot be expressed in words, I wish here to record my sincere thanks for the many helpful deeds which have made my journey fruitful and instructive to me. Owing to the conditions of printing, proof-reading by the author was impossible; I am grateful to the publishers for their attention to the corrections.
