It seems to be the habit to expect the Government to do everything in this country. Government encourage industry, develop agriculture, develop trade, organise and pay for education, supply and maintain hospitals and dispensaries. The Government the Indian railways and the great irrigation canals. And, whereas in Germany, it was a man who started the co-operative credit banks. In India, in the absence of any private philanthropist, the Government to shoulder the burden of starting and supervising the co-operative credit societies.
In England, all these have been entirely carried on by private enterprises without government help. England's great industries (such as cotton, , iron and steel, coal - mining, shipbuilding, etc.), and her worldwide commerce, have all been built up private citizens' capital, industry, and enterprise. There is no government railway in England; all belong to private . The great hospitals are supported by public subscriptions and managed by voluntary committees. And up to fifty ago, all the country's education was given in private schools and colleges: and even now, a large of the educational institutions are private. Without government help or guidance, the English people themselves have England the rich and powerful and the advanced country she is today.
No nation can advance far unless citizens have the qualities of energy and enterprise and the virtues of self-reliance, honesty, industry, perseverance and courage. Men of this stamp help themselves. They don't wait until somebody comes along and carries them: walk on their own feet and hold their heads up, independent and self-reliant. They are, in the sense of the terms, self-made men.
