Abstract

"So deeply seated and universal is the feeling that it is useless to try to make anything of an Indian more than an ignorant savage; that all direct and positive endeavor to instruct and benefit him is scouted as a vain and foolish attempt; and out of this feeling grows a tacit justification in the minds of Indian officers not only, but in the mind of the country generally of that loose and inefficient, not to say, dishonest way of conducting the Indian service which has brought it into great disrepute."
