The children of today will make all the discoveries of tomorrow...they will improve what has been done to make fresh discoveries. They must make all the improvements in houses, cities, communications, methods of production, etc. that are to be made. The future generations must know not only how to do what we can teach them,
they must be able to go a step further.
