page 875 note 1 It is extraordinary how ignorant some educated natives are of what goes on around them. I have known more than one highly trained Government servant, born and bred under the shadow of Calcutta University and the most advanced teaching of “New India,” who had never even seen a growing rice-plant till he was made a Deputy Magistrate and sent into the mufassil to learn his work. This may sound extraordinary, but it is a literal fact.
