It is a land of many languages, some of them spoken by as many people as speak German or French. It is a lan...

THE component parts of the British Empire are so remote and so different from one another, that it is evident that the Empire can only be held together by sympathy and understanding, based on widely diffused knowledge of its geography, history, resources, climates, and races. It is obvious that if this knowledge is to be effective it must be imparted to the coming generation. In other words it must be taught in the Schools of the Empire. In the Autumn of 1902, a Committee was appointed by ...

Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth, to cre...
