ith the severe analytical
methods of the West. These opinions have also been fully endorsed in
other centres of learning and Dr. Bose had received applications from
distinguished Universities in Europe and America for admission of
foreign post graduate scholars to be trained in his Laboratory in the
new scientific methods that have been initiated in India.

RESEARCH LABORATORY FOR INDIA

This recognition that the advance of human knowledge will be incomplete
without India's special contributions, must be a source of great
inspiration for future workers in India. His countrymen had the keen
imagination which could extort truth out of a mass of disconnected facts
and the habit of meditation without allowing the mind to dissipate
itself. Inspired by his visits to the ancient Universities, at Taxila,
at Nalanda and at Conjevaram, Dr. Bose had the strongest confidence that
India would soon see a revival of those glorious traditions. There will
soon rise a Temple of Learning where the teacher cut off from worldly
distractions would go on with his ceaseless pursuit after truth, and
dying, hand on his work to his disciples. Nothing would seem laborious
in his inquiry; never is he to lose sight of his quest, never is he to

the West would be impossible here. Had the conquest of air been achieved
in India, her very first impulse would be to offer worship at every
temple for such a manifestation of the divinity in man.

ECONOMIC DANGER OF INDIA

One of the most interesting events in his tour round the world was his
stay in Japan, where he had ample opportunity of becoming acquainted
with the efforts of the people and their aspirations towards a great
future. No one can help being filled with admiration for what they have
achieved. In materialistic efficiency, which in a mechanical era is
regarded as an index of civilisation, they have even surpassed their
German teachers. A few decades ago they had no foreign shipping and no
manufacture. But within an incredibly short time their magnificent lines
of steamers have proved so formidable a competitor that the great
American line in the Pacific will soon be compelled to stop their
sailings. Their
