There is the same argument for forbidding people to pick flowers or at least forbidding them to pick flowers by the basketful or to dig them by the roots — as there is for forbidding people to cut the pictures in the National Gallery out of their frames and to take them home with them. Anyone with a sense of beauty must have longed to carry off a picture from a public gallery. What beauty it would lend to the home? How much lovelier it Would seem there than on the dull walls of a crowded gallery? There is only one argument against taking it — that there are not enough good pictures to go round. And we have now reached a stage at which there are not enough flowers to go round. In the old days, a meadow of wild daffodils was lavish beyond the needs of countryside. With the popularization of the bicycle began the invasion of the country by the hordes of thé town and no sooner were the daffodils in flower than long processions of cyclists bore dowh on them and went home with the blooms as trophies on their handle-bars. And now that the'motor-car has been added to the bicycle, the pillage of the fields is increasing ten-fold. Roots’are dug up and carried off to add to the amenities of a suburban garden. Primroses and bluebells are torn from the wayside to die ona drawing room table. ‘Common sense suggests, indeed, that we should be at painsito preserve the flowers of the countryside. | am not sure that it would be a bad thing to forbid the sale of wild flowers for the increasing sale of wild flowers has undoubtedly helpéd to diminish and destroy them. There are enough flowers grown in gardens to fill all the bowlsand vases in the towns, and there is no need to the fields for such purposes. 8, The argument against taking pictures home from the National Gallery is that a) Pictures taken home from the\National Gallery lend beauty to them. b) People be legally forbidden front taking pictures home from the National Gallery. c) There are not enough good pictures to go round, d) Pictures are so preciolisas daffodils in a meadow.

It is only when we specify how this is related to that, and in what ways all these. matters are rendered, ordered, and organized so as to achieve their particular effects that a Synopsis begins to be adequate to the plot. There are a great variety of plot forms..For example, some plots are designed to achieve tragic effects, and others to achieve the effects of comedy, romance, satire, or of some other genre.

Some wanted to reform the Hindu religion by getting rid of idol-worship, caste and other ideas which were not in the Hindu religion of ancient times. Swamy Dayanand, Who founded the Arya Samaj, had this aim. Others wanted to get rid of old ideas completely and make India a modern country, with the help of scientific knowledge gained from the west. Some wantéd to bring about changes more slowly, by spreading education through newspapers ahd schools. But all these people got their ideas through hearing or reading about the changes which had been taking place in Europe and America. They got to know about these changes from people who came to India from the west, first to trade with them, and then to rule over them. They did not like being ruled over by foreigners, but they could not help seeing that unless they got the new knowledge which the foreigners had, they would not be able to make a new India and rule it themselves.

No allowance is made for the peculiar mental constitution of the individual child who is sacrificed to the average of the classes. The class and the fixed curriculum are like the bed of Procrustes in the story: those who are too large for the bed are cut down until they fit and those who are too short are stretched.

Thus, a ‘child may have a great talent for English and none for arithmetic. He may have a real feeling for literature, a gift for composition but when you ask him what percentage of a floor 18-7 feet long by 53/16 metres wide remains uncovered when you have spent three pounds eleven shillings and seven pence on linoleum costing 179-06 dollars per acre, he finds it difficult or impossible to reply. He must therefore remain in a low class where they read nothing but baby books and concentrate on spelling and grammar until such time as he can solve this interesting and instructive problem. Second, under the present system of mass education by classes, too much stress is [aid on teaching and too little on active learning. The child is not encouraged to discover things on his‘own account. He learns to rely on outside help, not on his own powers, thus losing intellectual independence and all capacity to judge for himself. Moreover, the lessons in classrleave him mainly unoccupied and therefore bored. He has to be forced into learning what does not interest him and the information acquired mechanically and reluctantly, but by dint of brute repetition, Is - rapidly forgotten. Third, the child being bored and unoccupied, is also mischievou8A strict external discipline becomes necessary unless there is to be confusion. The child learns to obey, not to control’ himself.
