[...] The necessary changes in the curriculqin the alterations in the methods of imparting instruction and the'presence of students of purely agricultural stock would tend to make them self-contained institutions with the clearly envisaged aim of training their students for residence and service in the countryside. [...]. This elpectation of receiying a bonus is bound to act as a deterrent and the ionger the period during which training has been undergone the stronger will be the effect of this rule in keeping the students in the school. [...] Under the circumstances what actually happens is that the cultivators devote all their labour and attention to the cultivation of their own holdings the whole produce from which with the exception of the amount whichas to be devoted to the payment of rent is theirs. [...] The greatest attraction of this improved system for the:n.will be that they will not feel that they are anyone's servants knowing full well that all the pkoduee 'except the dues of the landlord for the rent and the charges incidental to the supplying of seeds manure etc.
