On 9th May Rabindranth wrote another important letter.to Geddes. He was staying at that moment at the Guest house of Maharaja of Patiayala.. Geddes asked Rabindranath, probably, in Montpellier of France about his opinion about the education policy of his proposed College Des Indiens [Indian College]. In reply Rabindranath wrote, " it is a bit difficult to answer because from the very beginning the education in Santiniketan was nothing but a gradual evolution. Like his stories - he started writing a story imagining a thought without thinking its final step. Then it went in the flow of its own sequences of unexpected alarm. "When I first started school at Santiniketan, I was thinking that education should move in resonance with the life of human being without going above or below the development of natural life. I had no experience of teaching." He only gave his company to the five students. He taught them how to sing, he played with them, in the evening he used to tell stories from great epics and he took them to the nearby villages. He himself was being trained, the concept of a school,too, would develop as one's mind and living. When the the school began to grow, the number of students began to increase, the different problems began to grow. But still his enthusiasm didn't subside.Because we have not yet come to a conclusion and therefore our task is not a perpetual repitition of plan perfected once for all. His primary object was to make free the minds of the children from the bondage of mechanical and narrow methods of training. "This idea has gone on developing itself, gradually comprehending all different branches of life's activities from Arts to Agriculture. Now it has come to a period when we are fully made aware of the absolute necessity of widening across all barriers the human sympathy of our students, thus leading them to the fulfilment of their education... Lately it has come to us almost like a sudden discovery that our institution represents that creative force which is acting in the bosom of the present age passing through repeated conflicts and reconciliations, failures and readjustments making for the realization of the spiritual unity of human races." He always expected support from persons like Geddes - " it was with a bewilderment of admiration that I have so often followed the architectural immensity of your vision." But simultaneously he admits that it is out of his reach to utilize actively the knowledge of Geddes in this respect. His all activities are like his poems, it contains some amount of fun only in different forms.
