(lxxiii, ) to give you the instruction you require. Thib will be against Swadeshi principles P My friend, where have you learnt this word-Swadeship” Prakrit Rahasya pp. 78, 79. Bihari Lal Mitra in this way shews that there must always be interchange of ideas and interchange of commodities, Swadeshi, if by it is meant an inopass ble wall on all sides against freè intercourse with foreign countries, must then be a thing which never was, never can be, and never should be. He also holds a very strong opinion about female education, and this opinion he thus expresses in his own terse way : - 'It is said that Government is going to make arrangements for free primary education. It will no doubt confer incalculable blessing upon the country. It is my earnest prayer that girls' schools should also be made free, if such an arrangement las not already been contemplated in the scheme. At least five-eighths of the money proposed to be devoted to free primary education should be laid aside for theeducation of girls for the women are the real workers and from their wo.k wit spring progress and prosperity. The time has not yet come for compulsory education, but it may be possible after twelve or fifteen years of free eduet it Friehd When our women will come to realise they are neither servants, nor slaves, nor cattle, thei the paen will not be able to treat them as such. Edu ested women will have the power to instil into thb ristiada'of their children the principles of righteousness." 18
