२५४ महात्मा फुले : समग्र वाङ्मय The system of awarding them by competition, although abstractedly equitable, does not tend to the spread of education among other classes. With regard to the question as to educated natives finding remunerative employments, it will be remembered that the educated natives who mostly belong to the Brahminical and the other higher classes are mostly fond of service. But as the public service can afford no field for all the educated natives who come out from schools and colleges, and moreover the course of training they receive being not of a technical or practical nature, they find great difficulty in betaking themselves to other manual or remunerative employments. Hence the cry that the market is overstocked with educated natives who do not find any remunerative employment. It may, to certain extent, be true that some of the professions are overstocked, but this does not show that there is no other remunerative employment to which they can betake themselves. The present number of educated men is very small relation to the country at large, and we trust that the day may not far distant when we shall have the present number multiplied a hundred-fold and all betaking themselves to useful and remunerative occupations and not be looking after service. In conclusion, I beg to request the Education Commission to be kind enough to sanction measures for spread of female primary education on a more liberal scale.
