Among other things, Le Bon points out "that our European education invariably results in demoralizing the indigene, transforming him into an implacable enemy of the European, and does so, moreover, without at all elevating his intellectual level." In addition, Le Bon contends and provides many examples demonstrating that the very complicated French institutions in particular cannot be accepted, let alone even comprehended, by most colonial peoples. Most importantly, Le Bon emphasizes that whereas France through its policy of Frenchifying its colonial peoples had to spend enormous sums in order to pacify its frequently rebellious colonial peoples, Britain by contrast spent very little money to keep the peace in its colonies, even though Britain's colonies, most notably India, contained vastly greater numbers of people than France's. The speaker attributes Britain's success in cost-effectively administering its colonies to its hands-off policy of allowing the indigenes to maintain their institutions, religion, language, and educational system.
