Excerpt from Among India's Students

To the student, India represents a wealth Of philology and a maze of philosophical systems.

To the statesman, India is a nerve centre of the world. The true fulcrum of Asiatic domin ion, says Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, seems to me to increasingly lie in the Empire Of Hindustan. The independence Of Afghanistan, the continued national existence Of Persia, the maintenance of Turkish rule in Bagdad are one and all dependent upon Calcutta. Nay, the radiating circle of her influence overlaps the ad joining continent and affects alike the fate of the Bosphorus and the destinies of Egypt.

TO the statistician, India means one-fifth of the inhabitants Of the globe, for the Bombay Presi deney has the population of Spain, Holland and Norway; the entire population of Brazil can be accommodated in the Central Provinces the Ma dras Presidency and its native states have within them more people than there are in Great Britain and Ireland; the inhabitants of Sindh and the Punjab equal those of Austria; the population Of the German Empire can be placed in the North west Provinces and Oudh; and Bengal has within it as many people as there are in the United States Of America.
