Harijan Poona — Saturday January 14 1939

There is another means employed which contrbutes the drive the motive power to all the work being done in these Negro institutions and that is the development of a missionary zeal in the teachers and in the pupils. [...] is the care with which the staff has been chosen and the keeness of the staff and management to develop in the pupils the desire to serve their less fortunate sisters and brothers. [...] Richard Gregg once sent to Gandhiji a book which was elaborately entitled China At Work — being a description of the various tools and implements that are used by the toiling masses of China and therefore a history of Chinese civilization and culture ". The Magan Museum presents in a concrete form the history of the evolution of the India of the masses that is being built up today. [...] On the contrary the more highly their use is devloped the more it adds to the artistic genius of the artisan and his joy of living Besides the khadi section there are gud-making paper-making soap-making oil-pressing and cottage tanning sections in the Museum. [...] Show me another industry or industrial corporation in the world that has in the course of eighteen years of its activities put four crores of rupees into the pockets of lakhs of the neediest and most deserving of men and women with the same capital expenditure that the A. I. S. A. has done.
