IMPORTANCE OF TOURING 79 



an hour or two in Jaipur; long enough to ex- 

 perience much kindness, both from the Maharajah 

 and from the Political Resident and his charming 

 wife. I visited the School of Art and saw a very 

 large collection of the brass-work for which 

 Jaipur is celebrated, but which does not in the 

 least appeal to me. 



My visit to Bombay has left me deeply impressed 

 with the imperative necessity of touring and 

 getting as much as possible into personal touch 

 with the members of the non-official community 

 in the great business centres of India; but with the 

 enormous and ever-increasing volume of work, 

 touring has to be reduced to a minimum.
