Madame Blavatsky’s work was to remind the Hindus of the excellence of their own shastras,* to show that some Westerns held identical ideas, and thus to countermine the dishonest representations of the mission- aries.

Drysdale in his courageous work, “ The Elements of Social Science,” also points out that the life of the ordinary prostitute is a very much healthier one than that of the average factory girl.
