concentration which are the great excellence of the old
culture. No doubt, as I said before, it will be a difficult,
and troublesome process to so combine and fuse the old

'much simpler to reject the whole past and replace it by
methods already cut and dried and defined. Nevertheless,,
unless the necessity for doing the reverse of this is recog-

all in connection with the making of great national litera-
ture an organic part of the individual life), and of mental
concentration. But as I have already indicated, the future-
is not with the English educator in India, but with
the Indian people and the National Movement. The
responsibility of preserving and continuing the great-
ideals rests with these, and not with any foreign educator*
