The Tolstoy Farm of Gandhi

I was pondering today about what kind of education would actually work for the poor.

One of the ideas that I came across was of The Tolstoy Farm that Gandhi had founded in South Africa. It was a precursor of the Sabarmati Ashram he set up upon his return to India. Read about how the young members of the farm were educated- in Gandhi's own words.

Also read: Page 139 of this e-book.

This is a TIME article dated 5th Sep, 1938 (!!!), about the Wardha Education Scheme propagated by Gandhi.

and, this one dated 8th Oct, 2008 (back to our times :))

Here is a detailed analysis of the Wardha scheme.

As for my own analysis, wait for some time :-)
