There are wanted teachers who will give the Indian boy and girl the true value of an education other than its advantages from an economic standpoint. That must be considered also, and in a land where the crowds are great and famines many, it assumes even a larger importance in the lives of the boys who must become the wage-earners, than it does in Western lands, where life is not such a fierce struggle for the necessities. But along with the training for the making of a livelihood should be given another training. These boys and girls of India who are just starting on the road that their Occidental brothers and sisters have been treading for many generations should be given the broader view of education, its worth and meaning. They should be taught by loving teachers the true knowledge of which so beautiful a definition is given by Bishop Mant:— What is true knowledge! Is it with keen eye Of Lucre’s sons to thread the mazy way? Is it of civil rights, and royal sway, And wealth political, the depths to try? Is it to delve the earth, to soar the sky? To marshal nations, tribes in just array; To mix and analyze, and mete and weigh Her elements, and all her powers descry? These things, who will may know them, if to know Breed not vainglory; but, o’er all, to scan God in his works and Word shown forth below, Creation’s wonders and Redemption’s plan; Whence came we, what to do, and whither go: This is true knowledge, and the whole of man. CHAPTER IX WOMAN’S SORROW Abbe Du Bois says: “The happiest death for a woman is that which overtakes her while she is still in a wedded state. Such a death is looked upon as a reward of goodness extending back for many generations; on the other hand, the greatest misfortune that can befall a wife is to survive her husband.” Death is a tragedy in all lands, but with the Hindus it is made doubly tragical because of superstition and the endless ritual connected with their religion. The idea of mourning is not so much sorrow as it is uncleanness, defilement.
