HINDUS AND THEIR WANT OF SOCIAL CONSCIENCE 97
The heartlessness disclosed by these instances shows that the Hindu does not bother about what he does to the Untouchables or about what happens to the Untouchables.
A third test would be the test of service and sacrifice for the uplift of the Untouchables. Here again, one may adopt the service and sacrifice of the Americans for raising the Negroes as our standard measure. Here are some figures.
Consider the bequests [1] made by the Whites for the benefit of the Negro education. Testator Amount Testator Amount (in Dollars) (in Dollars) Kane 50,000 Mason 1,00,000 Harton 5,000 Naunbert 40,000 Troughton 1,60,600 Harrison 2,30,000 Ottinger 500 Munger 75,000 Gambrille 35,000 Corliss 45,000 Jarepki 1,000 Rosenbanin 1,000 Strock 500 Burton 1,000 Kidder 5,000 Conroy 1,00,000 Clodin 10,000 Kent 10,000 Wood 500 Duke 1,40,000 Harkness 12,50,000 Marciliat 5,000 Beatie 2,90,000 Masey 25,000 Marquant 5,000 Nicholas 20,000 Newton 5,000 Garretson 15,00,000 Hummington 25,000 Hatcher 20,000 Phelps-Stokes 2,80,000 Wright 10,000 Butler 30,000
These figures relate to the period before 1930. They do not take account of residuary bequests.
Compare the Educational funds [2] that exist for the advancement of education among the Negroes. They are:
( i ) The Avery Fund.
( ii ) The Vilas Bequest.
( iii ) The African Fund.
( iv ) The Buckingham Fund.
( v ) The George Washington Educational Fund.
