A Nation of Specialists

We are a Nation of specialists because experience has taught us that greater benefits will accrue to one and all through each individual learning to do one thing well. The physician looks after our health. The teacher gives instruction. The farmer grows the grain. The lawyer attends to legal matters. Others specialize in providing all the comforts and conveniences of home. No one citizen builds his own house, manufactures the plumbing equipment, generates the electricity, constructs the heating plant, or provides the fuel for its operation. He does not pave the street, put in his own waterworks, provide police and fire protection, establish his own school, church, hospital, or theater.
