an on account of the distance he came. An Indian felt
a sense of inferiority if a difference was made as regards pay. The very
slight saving which Government made by differentiating between the two
did not compensate for the feeling of wrong done. This feeling would
remain even if the pay was the same, but an additional grant in the
shape of a foreign service allowance was made to Europeans. All workers
in the field of education should feel a sense of solidarity, because
they were all serving one greet cause, namely, education."[29]

Being asked by Sir Valentine Chirol, he said "If a foreign professor
would not come and serve in India for the same remuneration as he
obtained in his own country, he would certainly not force him to
come."[29]

To Mr. Abdur Rahim he said: "Recruitment for the Educational Service
should be made in the first place in India, if suitable men were
available; but if not then he would allow the best outsiders to be
brought in. In the present state of the country it would be very easy to
fill up many of the chairs by selecting the best men in India. The aim
of the universities should be to promote two classes of work--first,
research; and, secondly, an all-round sound education...."[29]

In answer to questions of Mr. Madge, he said: "Any idea that the
educational system of India was so far inferior to that of England, that
Indians, who had made their mark, had done so, not because of the
educational system of the country, but in spite of it, was quite
unfounded. The standard of education prevailing in India was quite up
to the mark of several British Universities. It was as true of any other
country in the world as of India that education was valued as a means
for passing examination, and not only for itself, and there was no more
cramming in India than elsewhere. The West certainly brought to the East
a modern spirit, which was very valuable, but it would be dearly
purchased by the loss of an honourable career for competent Indians in
their own country. The educational system in India had in the past been
too mechanical, but a turn for the better was now taking place and the
Universities were recognising the importance of research work, and were
willing to give their highest degrees to encourage it."[30]

To Mr. Fisher, he said that he "desired to secure for India Europeans
who had European reputations in their different branches of study. If it
was necessary to go outside India or England, to
