Heinrich Harrer Quotes

Tibetans Are Not Famed For Their Perseverance. Full Of Enthusiasm At The Start, And Ready For Anything New, Their Interest Flags Before Long. For This Reason I Kept Losing Pupils And Replacing Them, Which Was Not Very Satisfactory For Me. The Children Of Good Families Whom I Taught Were Without Exception Intelligent And Wide Awake, And Were Not Inferior To Our Children In Comprehension. In The Indian Schools The Tibetan Pupils Are Ranked For Intelligence With Europeans. One Must Remember That They Have To Learn The Language Of Their Teachers. In Spite Of That Handicap, They Are Often At The Head Of The Class. There Was A Boy From Lhasa At St. Joseph's College, At Darjeeling, Who Was Not Only The Best Scholar In The School, But Also Champion In All The Games And Sports.
