2 NATIONAL EDUCATION
There can be no doubt that the
Educational System of Europe is a
great advance on the many methods
of antiquity, but its defects are also
palpable. It is based on an in-
sufficient knowledge of human psycho-
logy and it is only safeguarded in
Europe from disastrous results by the
refusal of the ordinary student to
subject himself to the processes it
involves, his habit of studying only so
much as he must to avoid punishment
or to pass an immediate test, his
resort to active habits and vigorous
physical exercise. In India the disas-
trous effects of the system on body,
mind and character are only too appa-
rent. The first problem in a National
System of Education is to give an
Education as comprehensive as the
European and more thorough, with-
out the evils of strain and cramming.
