This schoolboy's vision of scientifically organized socialist society, based essentially on an esthetic distaste for poverty and an aristocratic contempt for "shopkeepers." was made to order for a Harrovian Brahman, and it was one of the enduring marks which Nehru bore when he returned to India in 1912. "Do what I will," he admitted years later, "I cannot get out of the habits of mind and the standards and ways of judging other countries, as well as life generally, which I acquired in school and college in England...

Lasater gives his cattle a start- dehorning, vaccination against blackleg, a little hay and some alfalfa pellets in the winter; then he stands off and watches. Should a cow trip in holes, need its hooves trimmed, walk with a short gait, have to be milked out to prevent caked udder, or drop its calf one hour after the 42-day calving period, it is yanked out and sold for slaughter.
