3. After an interval, each boy takes his asan, his square of carpet, into

the fields and sits down on it to meditate in his own place alone.

Later on, before the school work begins, the boys all stand together

in the shade of the trees and sing their hymn.

4. Till about half past ten the work of the school goes on. We have no

classrooms. The boys sit with their teachers, in the open air, under

the trees. There are no larger classes. A group of eight or ten boys

are seated round the teacher, asking him questions. Very few books

are used. A greater part is carried on through conversation. The

boys soon learn to open out all their difficulties to their teachers,

and the teachers get keenly interested in the boys’ questions and

answers. Such living education can never be dull.
