<p></p>
<p><span><span>The East India Company had been incorporated in 1600 as a commercial entity. For two hundred years its administrators had been recruited, largely by patronage, to oversee commercial transactions in Asia. By 1800 they had become the </span><i>de facto</i><span> government for millions of people in those areas, but without much training for the role. The college was intended to address these shortcomings. In fifty years it trained over two thousand so-called "writers" to administer the Indian subcontinent.</span></span></p> Yes Master that is why I am h…tag:redpilltraining.ning.com,2016-09-19:3561936:Comment:865312016-09-19T15:15:30.843ZAdisahttps://redpilltraining.ning.com/profile/Adisa

I also now notice many of the terms used in freemasonry are associated with guilds, master craftsman, traveler, apprentice, master, grand master, mason. The question that I have now is, is it possible that a journeyman traveling along his way may needed to know a phase or give a sign to another of the same profession, or skilled trade upon entering a city to signify his position and ability to practice a trade or skill? The additional thought I have is regarding the stories about the character Jesus who was said to be a carpenter, and is said to have traveled from town to town with is disciples (apprentices) who often referred to him as master, who would later themselves become recognized by their works. </p> This data, once understood, a…tag:redpilltraining.ning.com,2016-09-19:3561936:Comment:864402016-09-19T12:57:04.603ZClifford Blackhttps://redpilltraining.ning.com/profile/CliffordBlack

<p><span><span>There were several types of guilds, including the two main categories of merchant guilds and craft guilds</span><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup><span> but also the </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frith#Culture" title="Frith">frith guild</a><span> and religious guild.</span><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Not all city economies were controlled by guilds; some cities were "free." Where guilds were in control, they shaped labor, production and trade; they had strong controls over </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_capital" title="Instructional capital">instructional capital</a><span>, and the modern concepts of a lifetime progression of </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprentice" class="mw-redirect" title="Apprentice">apprentice</a><span> to </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artisan" title="Artisan">craftsman</a><span>, and then from </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman" title="Journeyman">journeyman</a><span> eventually to widely recognized </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_craftsman" title="Master craftsman">master</a><span> and </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_craftsman" title="Master craftsman">grandmaster</a><span> began to emerge.

<p>The exclusive privilege of a guild to produce certain goods or provide certain services was similar in spirit and character with the original <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent" title="Patent">patent</a> systems that surfaced in England in 1624. These systems played a role in ending the guilds' dominance, as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_secret" title="Trade secret">trade secret</a> methods were superseded by modern firms directly revealing their techniques, and counting on the state to enforce their legal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly" title="Monopoly">monopoly</a>.</p>
<p>Some guild traditions still remain in a few handicrafts, in Europe especially among <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoemaker" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoemaker">shoemakers</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber" title="Barber">barbers</a>.
