... We will continue to speak of Our efforts in the development and
extension of education in Ethiopia. As We informed you before, among
Ethiopia's long-range programmes is that embracing the youth of the
Empire. It is Our constant solicitude that Ethiopia's youth be brought up
and educated in order to render service to Ethiopia.
In order to retain her proper and rightful place, Ethiopia's sole means is
education, through which she will be able to assist herself, maintain her
independence, take an active and important part in world affairs and be a
benefit both to herself and to others.
We are satisfied with the efforts made and with the time spent in the
education of Ethiopia's youth. The present generation's thirst and earnest
desire for education, as well as their easy adaptability to modern culture
and training and their spirit of progress encourage Us to redouble Our
efforts toward the fulfillment of Our aims. We have great pride in Our
people and equally in the future generations.
We are able thus to wait hopefully for the young Ethiopian graduates from
the Universities of the world who will return home in the near future to do
service to their country ...
