The Journal of the National Indian Association in Aid of Social Progress and Female Education in India February 1884

1884

Amongst the lower classes the woman does most of the outdoor work the men frequently staying at home and peforming the domestic duties which in most lands are left to the women ; while in the higher classes she is ever the honoured adviser and coadjutor of the male heads of the family—the merchant and the mengyee invariably taking his wife into council concerning all important transactions. [...] One of the first and most desirable results of this iproved arrangement of society would be I believe a higher sense of morality purity and propriety on the part of the women and the consequent prevention in the future of a large amount of evil which the lack of these virtues in the past has caused. [...] The language is Pali one of the Prakrits the first stage in the decomposition of Sanskrit and the parents of the great modern vernaculars of Northern India. [...] Maurice is over the chimney piece on one side is the Government Certificate of the Industrial School ' on the other a copy of the first prospectus of the Home framed ; a large press is in the recess at the left of the fireplace and at the right is an office table on which are writing materials and the visitors' book in which you will write your name before you leave. [...] There are bookshelves against the wall above the table full of books given for the use of the girls ; on the walls are a few engravings and photographs of some of the early friends of the Home.
