Universal education is a modern ideal. Modern India does not appear yet to have quite accepted it. The ancient ideal of education in India was ‘to each according to his capacity’, capacity being measured by the teacher in accordance not only with the pupil’s individual aptitudes but his birth and station in life. What is now known as industrial or technical education was largely carried on in the homes of the artisans under conditions governed by caste rules and custom.
