THE NECESSITY OF A JAIN COLLEGE
Cott
There are two phases of a man's life-secular and religious. The former concerns with the existence of his clay cottage whereas the latter is required for the emancipation of the bird that lies imprisoned in this
e. Those who believe in the transmigration of the soul are prone, and their iuclination is natural, to give precedence to the religious phase, as it is the only means of evolving the being from the lowest form of creation to the highest. They who neglect the development of religious element neglect their first and foremost duty to self directly and to others indirectly. The earlier development of both the phases depends solely on the general training of the female sex who have the sole charge of the child in its infancy. Man is an imitative creature and he learns by copyingi what is set before himn. The child, wherever and in whatever age, born, is the child of the human being. The body, the limbs, head, &c. are common to all children, but the difference in the conduct of their parents creates a corresponding difference in the children. The child of an Englishman will learn to speak English, that of an Arab will learn to speak Arabic and that of a Hindu will begin speaking Hindustani by imitating tsie spoken language of its parents. These several children will necessarily be inclined towards the creed of their parerits. They will cultivate the habit of cleanliness, truthfulness, uprightness, sobriety, &c., or the reverse according as they find their models laid before them for imitation..
