Halaman 408 - From every point of view", the Government further states, "it appears to us desirable to encourage the growth of centres of independent opinion, local aspirations, local ideals and to preserve the growing intelligence and enterprise of Bengal from being cramped and stunted by the process of forcing it prematurely into a mould of rigid and sterile uniformity.
Halaman 170 - ... There is no competition, no stimulus for improvement, no change in customary wages. The industries are stereotyped ; the apprentice only tries to imitate his master, and rarely thinks of introducing new implements or new methods of manufacture. Thus the village communities are the most complete and the most contented in the world. Within their self-sufficing confines trade is no vulgar source of profit for which men scheme and strive, but a calling, often a holy calling, handed down from father...
