Oriental .scholars in tlicir praiseworthy endeavours to ingraft upon por-tions of Hindoo philosophy the gnrras of sounder morals and of uioroadvanced pcieuco; and wo aro far from under-rating tho good eil'ectwhich hns thus boon produced upon the loarnod clns'os of India, whopriy hereditary veneration to those ancient language*, and whoso assist-anoo in the spread of education is so valuable from the honourable nndinfluential position which they ocoupy among their fellow-countrymen.But such attempts, althougli fchoy may usefully oo-opomfo, can only heconsidered as auxiliaries, and would be a very inadequate foundniioufor any gp71er.1l sohomo of Indian education.

JO. Wo Imvo nJfo received most satisfactory evidenco of tbo InchalfnnuiHints in English literature and European scienoo which hnvuboon acquired of Into years by somo of the natives of India. But thissuccess lies boon confinod to but a small number of persons; .and \ruare dasirous of extending far moro widely the moans of acquiring gr-n-ornl European knowledgo of a less high order, hut of such n ehanirUTas may ho pmofierily useful to tho peoplo of India in their difl'M^n*sphere;' of life. To attain this end, it is necessary, for the reasonsvrbifh we have given ahovo, that they should bo maclo fiirailiar with t lie*works ol! Eurojiean authors, and witli the results of tho thought; andlabour of Europeans on tho subjects of every description upon whichknowledge is to ho imparted, to . fhoin; and to extend the-means ofimparting this knowlodge must bo tho object of nnj' general rj-Hfem ofeducntion.

11. Wo have next to consider tho manner in which our object isto he effected ; and this leads us to the question of tho vrii-um tliron^b.which knowledge is to bo conveyed to the peoplo nf lmHt. THm?,hitherto, been nooessnry, owing to tho want of translations or ii'Inptnliousof liuropean works in the Vernacular langnngcs of Jmh'.i, n»i• 1 to thovery imperfoct shape in which European knowledge ia |o ho found inany works in the learned languages of the .East, foi' those who desiredto obtain a liberal education, to begin by tlie mastery of the I'Jnplishlanguugo as a key to tho litorat-uro of J5uro-pe; rind n knowlodgo ofJilnglisb will always be essonlial to thoso natives of India who a-spire toa high order of education.

12. In somo parts of India, moro espcciiilly in the iiumocH.itovicinity of tho Presidency towns, whrro persons who passes" n know,ledge of English are preioircd to others in many employments, publions well as private, a very moderate proficieucy in tho English Imigu.npeis often looked uj>on, b}' those who attend school instruction, ns the endand object of their education, rather than as a necessary step to thoimprovement of their general knowledge. We do not deny (lie valuein many respects of the mere faculty of .'peaking nud writing English,but we foar that a tondoncy has been oroafed in these dishioty, undulyto neglect the study of the Vernacular languages.

lod us u> tho conclusion that the timo is now arrived for tho establish-mout ci: Ui.ivorfiities in India, which may oncouraga a regular andliberal coui"--o of education, by conferring Aondemioal degrees as evidencesof attiunimnts in tlm difleront branobos of ait and soiouce, and by•adding niurka of honour for thoso who may desire to oompote forhonorary distinction.

2,3. Tim (Jounoil of Education, in the proposal to which we havealluded, took tiro London Univovsity as their model; and we agroo withthem, that tho form, government and functions of • that-University(copies of whoso oh.irtora nnd regulations wo enolose for your roforeneo)are the-best:. adapted to tbo wauts of India, and may bo followed withadvantage, n I though somo variation will bo necessary in points of do tail.

2(i. Tho Univoirnties in India will accordingly oonslst of a Chan-cellor, '"Vioo-Chancf.llor and Follows, who will constitute a Senato.The Somites will havo the management of the funds of the Universi-ties, and fraiuo regulations for your approval, under which poriodioalexaminations may bo held in the diil'erent brnnchos of art aud science,by examiners selected from their own body, or nominated by them.

27. The function of the Universities will bo to oonfer degrees uponauoh persons as, having been entered as candidates according to tho ruleawhich may bo fixed in this rospect, and having produced, from any of tho"affiliated institutions," whioh will be enumerated on the foundationof thn Universities, or bo from timo to time added to thorn by Govern-ment, cortifioatcs of conduot, and of having pursued a refji.W coursoof study for a given timo, shall have also passed at tlo Umvoi-silws suohan examination ns may be required of them. I t may 1 o ad.visnbln todispense with the attendance required at tho London Una '.u-sity for thoMatriculation examination, aud to substitute some mode of Entranceexamination which may secure a certain amount of knowledge inthe candidates for degrees, without making thf-ir attendance at, thoUniversities necessary, previous to tbo final examination.

28. The examination, for dogreos will not inolud.o any (subjectsoonneot-ed;with religious bolief ; «and tho afliliatod institutions will bounder the management of persons of every variety of religious persua-sion. As in England, various institutions in immediate connexion withthe Church of England, tho Presbyterian College at Grorniartln-n, theRoman Catholio College at Oscott, the Wosloyan College at Shpliiold,the Baptist College at 'Bristol, aud the Countess of Huntingdou'a Col-lege at Cheshunt, are among the institutions from whioh tbo LondonUniversity is empowered to receive certificates for degrees. So inIndia, institutions conducted by all denominations of Christians,Hindoos, Mnhomedans, Parsees, Sikhs, Buddists, Jains, or any othorreligious persuasions, may be affiliated to the Universities, if they arefound to afford the requisite course of study, and can be depended upoufor the certificate of conduot whioh will bo required.

2i). Tho detailed regulations for the examination for rtrgroosshould be framed with a duo regard for aU classes ot tho nfb'lia'rd in-stitutions ; and wo will only observe, upon this subjeot, that. thivM:ui '•uilfor oommon degreoa will require, to be fixod with very givnt ju!.:m.ii!..There are many persons who well dosorvo the distinction of an Aoiil'inlical dogreo as the recognition of a liberal eduenfi-m, v, 1-., • •;].

41. Uur attention should now bo directed to a consideration, ifpossible, still nioro important., and onp which has been hitherto, we »robound lo admit, too lmich neglected; namely, how u?oful and practicallaiowlcdjro, nr.itod to overy station in life, may bo best conveyed to Hit*great niuss of Uio poople, who aro utterly incapable t>f obt.'iiniuir anyeducation worthy of flio mime by their own unaided eiTorls; ana \vodp!:ii:o f.o.R.eo (lie active meiisurop of Government more especially direct-fid lor tlm fui'.rn1, to tliiH object, for (ho attainment o[ which wo uroready to ••unotion a. considerable, increase of expenditure.

•k!. Hohoolr.—whoso objoct should bo, not to trainhighly a fewyon'.h:-, but to provide more opportunities than now exist for the acquisi-tion of moh an improved education as will make those who'.posKoss iticoro .usofui nioinbers of sooiety in every oonditiou of life—should.exist in every district in India. These, schools should bo subject toconstant and careful inspection; and their piipils might ho encouragedby scholarships being instituted at other;'institutions which would botenablo an roAvarrls for merit 03' the host of thoir number.

4!5. Wo include in this class of institutions those which, like thoZillah Schools of Bengal, the district Government Anglo-VernacularSchools of Bombay, and suoh as have been established by (J10 Uajah ofBurdwan and other native gentlomon in different parts of ludia, usothe lSnglish language as the ohief medium of instruction; as well asothers of au inferior order, suoh as the Tahsili schools in < lie North-Western Pro vinosfl, and the Government Vernacular. Schools in tho.Bombay Presidency, whose objoct- is, however impnvfecfly it hasbeen as y.ot curriod out, to convoy the highest oiur.s of inptructiouwhich can now bo taught through the medium of (he vernacularlanguages.

44. Wo include those Anglo-Arernacular and Vernacular Schoolsin tho samp class, beoause wo are unwilling to maintain tho broad linoof separation whioh at presont exists between sohools iu whioh thomedia for imparting instriction .diflnr. The knowledfro oonveyod is,no doubt, nt tlie presont Unto, much higher in the Anglo-Vcrucularthan in tlie Vernncular Schools; but the dillernnco will become lessmarked, and tho latter moro elllciont, as the gradual enrichment of thoVernacular laugungos in works of education allows their schemes ofstudy to bo enlargod, and as a more numerous class of schoolmastersis raisod up able to impart a suporior education.

62 We look forward to the time when any general system ofeducation entirely provided-by Government may be discontinued, withthe gradual advance of the system of grants-m-aid, and when ninny oktho existing Government institutions, especially those of tho higherorder maybe safely closed, or transferred to the managomont of localbodies under the control of, and aided by, the State. .But it is far .fromour wish to check tho spread of education in the slightest degree .by theabandonment of a single school to probable dooay; and wo ..therefor*entirely confido in your discretion, and in that of the different localauthorities .while keeping this objeot steadily in view, to act withcaution, and to be guided by special reference to the particular circum-stances which affect the demand for education in different parts of India.

63 The system of free and stipendiary Scholarships, to-whichwe have already more than once referred as a connecting link betweenthe different grades of educational institutions, will require somo revi-

' '••„ •••-, Bion and extension in canning out o-tir-enlarged2 , t ^ U i S 3 ^ O V ^ educational plans. Wo wish to see the object proposed-32 and.33. by IjO.rdA.uokland, in 183!>, "of connecting the. Zilkhschools with tho central colleges, by attaching to thelaUor ydiolarshipsto which Iho best scholars of tho formor nug.lit.be eligible, moro fullycarried out; and also, as the. measures wo now propose assume auoreanised form, that the same system may bo adopted -with regarutoBohoolsof a lower description, and that the best pupils of the lufoaorschools ehall bo provided for by means o£ Scholarships in schools of ahieher order, so that superior • talent in every class may roceivo Uuitencouragement and development which.it deserves. Iho amount of thostipendiary Scholarships should bo fixed at such a sum as may be eon-eidered sufficient for the maintenance of tho holders of thorn at thocolle-es. or schools to which they, are attached, and which may often beat a distance from the home of the students. We think it desirablethat this system of scholarships should be carried out not only inconnexion with those places of eduoation which are under the iramc.lmtoeuperintondonce of tho'Slate, but in all educational institutions wluohwill.now bo brought into..our general system. .

Despatch of 1854.

•68. We cannot do better than refer you to the plan whioh hasbeen adopted in Great Britain for this object, and TO hi oh appears to visto he capalrlo of easy adaptation to India, It mainly consists, as youwill perceive, on reference to the minutes of the Committee of Council,copies of which we enclose, in the selection and stipend of pupilteachers (awarding a small payment to the masters of the schools inwhioh they tire employed, for their instruction out of school hours) ;thoir ultimate removal, if they prove worthy, to normal schools; theissue to them of certificates, on the completion of their training in thosenormal schools ; and in securing to them a sufficient salary when theyare afterwords employed as Echoolmnstcrs. This system should becarried out in India, both in the Government Colleges and Schools, and,by means of grants-in-aid, in all institutions which are brought underGovernment inspection. The amount of. the stipends to pupil teachersand students at normal schools should be fixed with groit care. The

• former should receive moderato allowances rather above -the 6ums whichthey would earn if they left school, and the stipends to the lattershould be regulated by the same principle which we havo laid downwith respect to scholarships.

69. You will be called upon, in carrying these measures intoeffect, to take into consideration the position and prospects of thenumerous class of natives of India, who nre ready to - undertake the itn-portnht duty of educating their fellow-countrymen. The late exten-sion of the pension regulations of 1S31 to the educational service mayrequire to bn adapted to the revised regulations in this respect; andour wish is that the profession of schoolmaster may, for the future,afford inducompnts to the natives of India such as aro held out inother branches of the public service. The provision of such a class ofschooltnnsters as we wish to see must be a work of time; and, in'encouraging the "indigenous schools," our present aim should be toimprove tho teachers whom wo find in possession," and to take care notto provoke tho. hostility of this class oi: persons, whoso influence is sogreat over tho minds of the lower classes, by superseding them whereit is possible to avoid it. They should, moreover, bo enoouraged toattend the normal schools and classes which may hereafter be institutedfor this class of teachers. '

70.. Equnlin importance to tho training of schools-masters is (hoprovision of "Vernacular School books, which shall provide Europeaninformation to be the object of study in the lower cU«?es of schools.Something has, no doubt, been done of late years, towards this end,but more still remains to be done; and we believe that deficienciesmight be readily and speedily supplied by tho adoption of a coursorecommended by Mr. M. Elphiustone in 1825, namely—" thatthe best translations of particular books, or tbe host olementantreatises in speoified languagos, should bo advertised for, and liborallyreworded."

71. The aim should be, in compilations and original compositions,(to quote from one of Mr. Adam's valuable reports upon the stnto ofeducation in Bengal,) "not to translate European work.J into the we>rd<»and idioms of the native .languages, but so to conilun.<) tho gubshnuo

in question will, theroforo, requiro revisions so as to adaptthem prn'o-ticnlly to carry out our views upon this subject. "What wo dofiio is, 'that, where tho othor qualifications of tho candidates for appointments'under Government aro equal, a person who has roceived a good educa-tion, irrespecl.ivo of tho plnco or manner in which it may have been ac-quired, .should bo-preferred to ono who has not; nnd that, oven in lowersituations, u nuin who can read and write bo preferred to ouo who can-not, if ho is equally eligible in other respects.

7G. W« n,lao approvo ui'ibo institution of examinations, whom pnic-tionblo, to bo simply nud entirely tests of theiiluess of candidates J'ovtlio special duties' of tho various Departments in whieli they aro Reekingemployment, ns !ma been the ease in tho Bombay Presidency. Woconfidently commit: fho encouragement of educated, in pxeforeneo touneducated, men to tl-.o dilforont officers who arc responsible for .theirsolection ; and wo cannot interfere by any further rogulatior.s to f'ilcvtheir freo o.hoioo in a; matter of whioh they bear tho solo responsibility.

77. Wo aro sanguine -enough to beliovo that some eft'oc-t has al-rondy been produced by tho improved education of tbo public service ofIndia. Tho ability and integrity of a largo and inerou.sing number ofthe Native Judgos, to whom tho greater part of tJio civil jurisdiction iuIndia is now committed, nnd the high estimation iu which many nruonq;them aro held by their fellow-countrynion, is, iu our opinion, much tobe attributed to tho progress of education among (li-e.so olli-cers,- and totheir adoption along with it of that high moral tone which pMTmleathe general litoraturo of J^uropo. Nor is it among tlio lu'gher oflioersalone that wo have direct evidence of the advaninge wliich I!K [iil.lioderives from;, the employment of educated men. Wo quote l'rjin tliolast Report of tho Dacoa Oollego with particular Entisfaotion, a« "\> aro

aware tJiat mueh of tho happiinr's- of' BCD- the people of India depend, u,,,n fho

honestyof thoollicers of Ir'olico : —"'I'liobest poesiblo ovidenoo hns been furnished," say t.lio local' Commitoo," that Bomo of tho es-studonts of the College of Dacca liavo conijilolelysucceeded in the arduous oOieo of Darogah. ICrislina Cluinder l*ait,emp.lo3rod as a Daroguh undor tlio Magistrate of Uowrnh, in p.ir.li.oiiliir,is recommended for promotion, as -having gained tho retqwel andnpplause of all classcn, who, though 'they may not practise, yet knowhow to admixo real honest}' aud integrity of purpose."

78. But, howovor largo tho number of appointments' ucdorGovernment may be, tho views, of tho natives of India should bo di-rected to tlio far wider and more important sphoro of usefulness audadvantage which a liberal education lays open to thorn ; and suoli pruo-tical benefits arising from improved knowledge should bo constantlyimpressed upon them hj thoso who know their feelings, and have.influence or authority to advise or direct their efforts. Wo refer, as anexample in this . respect, with . mingled pleasuro and regret, to thoeloquent addresses dolivered by the lato Mr. Betliuno, when Presidentof the Council of Education, to the studonts of tho Kishnaghur andDaoca Collegee.

8G. I n Bengal, education, through tho. medium of tlie Fn-li-itItinguago, has arrirod at a higher point than in any other par! of ! jid-i-i."We aro glad to rocnivo ponslant (jvidonc? of an iucrensing dmr-and f >rsuch an oducation, aud of tlio roa'Unoss oi tlto unt.ivo-'uf dill'-.r.-n'.

U2. At tho uaruo time, the system for the promotion of geueraleducation, throughout the country by means oi tho inspection andencouragement of indigenous schools, has laid tho foundation of i\ grratudvnncoinoiit in the education of the lower classes. Mr. Thomsonascertained, from statistical information, the lamentable state of ii<:i<.>••-unco in which the peoplo were sunk, wlu'lo tho registration oi' J.UHI,•which is necessary under the revenuo tiettleinont of tho Noilli-AV'efiliuuProvinces, appeared to him to offt-r tho stimulus of a direct interest fortlio acquisition of so much knowledge, at least of readiug and writing,of tho simplo rules of arithmetic, and of land.-measurement, as .wouldcnablo each m;m to look after his own rights.

y>5. ]fe, therefore, organised asystem of eneouragonionf. ofindigenous schools, by meats of a cons-taut inspection by ziilah andpergunnah visitors; under the superintendence of a, visitor-general,while,.at tho head-quart qrs of. each tahsildar, a school was establishedfor tho. .purpose of teaching " readiug and writing the Vernacularlanguago?, both Urdu and Hindi accounts, and the mensuration of land."A sdiool-hoiiso is provided by Government, and the masters of thoTahsili schools .receive a small salary, and are further entitled to thatuition fees paid by tho pupils, of whom none oreeducritoJ gratuitously,excejit "on rocouiniondation given by village 6chool-niastoi8 who maybo on tho visitors' list." A certain sum is annually allotted to eachzillah for tho reward of dpgerving teachers and scholars ; and tlie atten-tion of tho vibitor-geuerol was expressly directed to the pioparntion ofelementary scJiool-books in tho Vornaoular lunguage, which nro soldthrough tlio agciioy ol' the zillah and the pergunnah visitors. Wo shallbo prupored to Rauotion the gradual extension of somo such system asthis to. the oihor districts of tho. Agra Presidency, and wo have alreadyreferrod to it as the modot by which the efforts of other i'rosideneies forthe same object should be guided. ' .

91. In tlio Prefiidoncy of Bombay the oharaefor of tho educationconVeyod in tho Anglo-Vernnoular Colleges is almost, if not quite, equalto that in 3Jerigal;'.nnjl the Elphinstone Institution h an instance ofa college conducted in the main upon the principle of grant-in-aid,which we desire to see. more extensively carried out. Considorabloattention has also been paid in Bombay to education through the me-dium of tho Vernacular languages. It appears that 21G VcruaoularSchools arc under the manfigeinent of the Board of Education, and thattho numbor of pupils attending them is mpro than 12,000. TIKMO arothreo Inspoctors ot the District fc'chools, one of whom (Malmdoo GovindShastri) is a native of India. The schools ore reported to be improving,and masters trained in tho Government Colleges have been recentlyappointod to some of thom with the happiest efreots. These.results aro•veny creditable to the Presidency of Bombay;- and we trust that, eachGovernment Sohool will now be made a centre from wTrioh tii.-»indigenous schools of tho adjapont districts may be inspected audencouraged.

5. AR rognrds tho poisons by whom appointments in tho Depart-ment of ]0<l.iion(.k>n aru to bo hold, it was thought by tho Court of Directorsthat the first huadB of tho Department, as well as some of the Inspec-tors, should be mombers of the Civil Servico, both to show the impor-tance attachod to the subject of education, and the estimation in which,it was desired that the officers cf tne Department should be held, andbecause among the members of that aorvioe the best qualified personawould bo most likely to be mot with. But at the same time it wasdirected that nouo of the appointmonts should be reserved for membersof the Covenanted Sorvice, to the exclusion of others, either Europeansor Natives, who might bo better qualified to fill them ; and tho greatimportance was pointed out of selecting persons, not only qualified forthe duties of the department, hut calculated also to command thocon fidenoe of the Natives. The spirit of the instructions of tbe Courtof Directors, with regard to the classes from whom the ollioers of thodepartment wore to bo soleoted, appoars to huvo been duly observed.In Bengal, tho North-Western Provinoes, Madras and Hoiubay. rneiu-tors of the Civil Service were, in the first instance, appointed ].) hectorsof Publio Instruction, and tho several appointments of Inspectors worefilled indiscriminately by Civil Servants, Military and Medical OJfioorB,and individuals unconnected with any of those services. In (hePunjab, the office of Direotor has, from tho first, been held by a gen-tleman "who was, at the time of his nomination, in tho Military Sorviei',but who retired from the Army immediately on appointment. InBombay, tho first Director, Mr. Erskine, lias been succeeded by agentleman who wns previously a practising Barrister, and nmongthe present Inspectors, it is believed that thme are not in all tho Presi-dencies more than two or three members of the Civil Servico.

Inthe Provinces, four Provincial Schools havo bnon established, which it

"in hoped "will event usdly bo formed into Provincial Colleges, and whichwill give an education qualifying for admission into the higher institu-tion at Madras.

11. In liombay, where provision, as nbr>ve remarked, was niadofor imparting an education of a high order in the two Government or'yj/rtst-'G-ovcrnmont Collegiate Institutions, tho favourable impressionswhich formerly prevailed, founded . on the reportsof tho nunuulexaminations as to tho results of the course of instruction pursued inthem, have recently been much diminished. The studonts truined inthe institutions in question, on being subjected to the test of anexamination conducted by individuals unconnected with the colleges,havo been found to fail in PO tnariy of the most ordinary and essentialqualities of well-trained scholars, tlint it can only bo shpposod flint tho.reports o£ former years had led to a very erroneous ostiinato of thoacquirements of the ptudeut9 who had then passod the oxnraiuation.Tho disappointment arising from this .discovery was felt, not only bythose who had interested themselves in tho promotion of generaleducation, but also by all thnso classes from which the students of the

"colleges in question havo been heretofore -supplied ; and the result haslioi-n a groat falling off in tho attendance ut both tho K'jihir.stonoInstitution and the Poona College Ellortft have been mad'1 to lemov.o.this feeling, as well as to improve the course of iuRtruotinu in thocolleges, and it is understood'that tho number of studonls is now

- gradually increasing. I t may be remarked that tho failurps thusbrought to light resulted from a-coiirsn. of instruction niranged longbeforo Grovo.rnniont assumed tho direct con-rol of edueatioival operations.'at Bombay, and that tho oxposure of tho delusive eyslfm jiu-r.-iud W.MSin. fact brought about by tho more oloso attontiiiu paid to the subject inconsequence of tho organization of tho Department of Edu.c.v. ion.

..uugui, u numoor ot Vernacular Schools had been established severalyears, previously, but whether from the IOAV qualifications of tho masters,or from the want of responsible superintendence, they had failed to obtainpopularity, and wore in gradual course of abandonment. In Madras,in the same rammer, some Vernacular Sohools which had been formedduring tho administration of Sir Thomas Munro, had died out for wantoi pupils, and the deficiency had not been supplied up to 1854,although a scheme of education: had just previously been frumod bythe Madias Government, very much resembling in its loading foaturosthe plan limn proscribed by the Court for general adoption. In Bombay,the lato Board of Education had succeeded, with limited means,in establishing many now Vernacular Schoolo throughout the Presi-dency, as woll ns in raising to somo extent tho character of tho eduoa-tion imparted in some of the indigenous schools.

17. If it must bo admitted that previously to 1854 the subject ofVernacular education had not received in every part of India the fullamount of attention which it merited,, there can be no doubt that siacotho wishes of tho Home Authorities-have been so plainly declared, (hoOfficers of tho Department of Eduontion, aoting under the ordersof the sovoral Governments, have spared no pains to bring into opera-tion throughout the districts entrusted to their superintendence, suchmoasures as appeared most likely to place within reach of tho gcnoralpopulation the means of obtaining an education suited to their circum-etanees in life.

18. Tho inodos of action which havo beon adopted in tho sovoralPresidencies exhibit, however, considerable diversity.

19. In the North-Western Provinces it was found that, althoughthe schools established at the tehsil stations had been very-successful,,so far ns regardod the attendance of the children in theso" towns, theinhabitants of tliosuirounding districts bad not shared in the ml vantagesof (hem to any considerable extent. A fiysleni of Hulkabuurloo, orCircle Schools, bad been accordingly devised previously to 1854 forthe special purpose of meeting the wants of the agricultural population."Under this system, several villages conA'enieutly situated lor tho purposoare grouped togcthor, aud in a.central situation a school is established,which if) not to bo more than two miles distant from any of (bo villagesforming (lie circle. For tho support of theso schools, tho consent of thelandowners was to be obtained to the appropriation of a small perennt-ngo on the amount of tho Government revenue, ono per ceut, boingthe amount paid, of which half was to be contributed by the landownersand half by tho Government. Tho voluntary consent of the land-owners was prescribed as nn iudispeneablo condition of the establish-ment of tho system in any looalily; and. at the time p£ the outbreak intho North-Western Provinces in 1857, the requisite assent had boongiven to the scheme in many of the districts, and the sanction of thoHomo Authorities had been accorded (in 185?) to the proposal of thelocal Grovornmont, that in the ro-selilemont of tho land rovonue, tho

f now plan should bo universally introduced, and one per cent, on ihoGovernment demand should be set apart in all tho difslriots for 1 hosupport of (bin Hulkabundee systom. It was calculated that when all<;bo flislriclH should have boon re-settled (which 'should not liuvo

I twas the opinion of the Aoting Educational Inspector of the DeecauDivision, Captain Lester, that " the prejudicos against female educationwere fast disappearing," and that " t h e r e will bo no raoie difficultyfound in establishing female' schools than there is in those forboys."

30 . Al though the special interest of the Homo Authorities andof the several Governments in India, in the work of female education,has been plainly dcolarod, and though there is no roason to doubt tha tthe officers of the department have availed themselves of such opportu-nities as offorod, to promote the object, it would not appear that , exceptin the case of the Agra and neighbouring districts*, any active measureshave been taken by the Depar tment of Education for the establishmentof female sohools.

But the statement, from the want of adequate information andfrom defective classification and arrangement, is extromcly unsatisfno-tory. Tlio last Report on Education in the North-Western Provincesis that for 1854-55; that for Bombay for 1855-56; and those forBengal and Madras for 1856-57 only. In the returns for the North-Western Provincos, the pupils attending the schools attnohed to thecolleges aro included in the number attending tho colleges themselves;and the same is the oase in respect to tlio Poonn College under theGovernment of Bombay, where even tlio pupils in the Normal classesare included among tho numbers attending the college. And agaiu,the pupils in the elemenfary grant-in-aid schools in Bengal and those inthe Hulkabundee Sohools in tho North-Western Provinces are excludedfrom the returns, while, as regards Bombay, the numbers of scholarsin the inferior schools are brought into the statement on account ofthe practioo, which has already boon' uoticod, of constituting allschools in tha( Presidency receiving aid from the State as " Oroverunnjit

'60.

37. The private institutions for eduoation of a higher order arethroughout India, as a general rule, under European management.In the case of many of these institutions tho grant, iu.-aid system hasboon made use of for the extension and improvornont of tho means ofinstruction. The conductors of suoh schools, both English and Anglo-Vernacular, have, generally speaking, shown no indisposition to availthemselves of -Government assistance on tho prescribed terras; aud thoefficiency and consequent usefulness of the aided schools has, by meansof the grants, bien greatly promoted. The higher English Schoolswhich have received giants aro, for the most part, maintained in con-nection with Missionary bonien, for the obvious reason that thore arefew other private Bchools existing in India at whioh a liberal Englisheducation is afforded. Assistance for the establishment or improve-ment of Anglo-Vernacular Sohools has, on tho other hand, been obtained,to a great extent, by natives, either individually, or in asfooiatiou ;and in some cases proposals have been made by natives with a viewto the formation of higher or collegiate schools, where the instructionwas to be oonvoyod by means of English, though from difforent causesno suoh institutions have yet been formed. But, while the Europeanmanagors of schools have freely accepted grants-in-aid from Govern-ment, and equal readiness has been shown by the nativo communityto seek assistance in the formation of schools where instruction inEnglish, may bo affordod, no great alacrity appears to have beon 'shown by the natives in making tho necessary local efforts forsocuring tho nid of Government under the grunt-in-aid iules for thepromotion of Vernacular education. It was attempted, as alreadyobserved, by Mr l'ratt, in the Southern Hengfil Division, to securethe requisite looal co-operation, and by d^nt of great exertion a con-siderable number of schools was established. But little value wasattached by the general population, in all the Bongal districts, to nny

The following remarks of'Mr. V/oivlrow are BiilFiijioid I.) thow the concurrence of that gentle-man in Mr. I'rntt's ooiwi'luuciia.

In fact, "we expect" (lit; peasantry and shop-keopors of Bengal to make sacrificee. for"o-luctition, which the samo olassos in England often refuse to make."Tho opinion of the Bengal officers, whose remarks have just been quoted,entirely corresponds with that formed by Mr. T. 0 .

39, I now proceed to offer some observations on the. facts whichhave been brought out in tbo preceding review, and in doing so, I shall,as far as possible,, follow the ordor in which the several branches of thesubject am placed, in tho third paragraph of this despatch:

40. Tho Educational Department seems to have .been framed ingeneral n coord an ee with tho instruc-

of&Si°n O l l ' ">"" l v U o r i i i r t ' "0" t tions of tho Court of Directors. Theoosfc of tho now establishments for

is properly susceptible of reduction.In considering this question, it must be borne in mind that tbo duty oftho controlling officers is not merely to superintend the institutionsdirectly supported by Government; but that it is tbo business of thoDepart.mont to o.vorciso a close sorutiny into all the agencies in operatiouthroughout tho country for tho instruction of the people ; to point outdeficiencies •whsruver thoy exist; to .suggest remedies to Government;and bring tho advantages of education before the minds of the variousclussea of the community ; to act as the ohaunel of communication onthe subject betweeu Government and the community nt large; andgenerally to stiniulrite and promote, under tho proscribed rnles, ullmofisuros having for their object the secular education of the p'eojdo. •It is evident tbat a very inadequate opinion would be formed of thovalue of the agency responsible for thesd varied duties, from a merecomparison of its cost with that of tho existing eduealionnl institutionsof Government, especially whon • it is considered that.it has beennecessary to constitute the controlling establishnienhs at onnp on aconiph.te footing, whilo the establisbmonts for direct instruction arenaturally of plowor growth. • '• " •

U; After a full consideratibn of the grounds on which tho Courtof Directors formerly gave their sanction, as a temporary arrange-mont, to the employment of Covenanted Civil Servants in the Depait-ment of Education, Her Majesty's Government niv, on the whole, ofopinion that, as n general rule, all appointments in tho Department ofEducation should bo filled by individuals unconnected with the Borvicoof Government, either Civil o.r Military. It is not their wish thatofficers now in tbo Dopnrtinent should bo disturbed for the sole purposeof carrying out this rule, and they aro awaro that difficulty might n tprefieut be experienced in finding well-qualified persons, unconnectedwith the regular services, to fill vacant ollices in the Department. Hutit is their dctiie that tho rule now prescribed bo kept steadily in viow,and Mint every oncouragomeut be given to persons of education io enterthe educational service, ev*»n in the lower grades, by inr.luDg it leuowu

47. i t uppears I hat Lo(h the diffu-ulties and the importance of„ , ,,, .. female education nre adequately appreciated by

the ofheers oi the Department or Ji.oucation, audno present orders respecting it seem, therefore, to be required. ButHer Majesty's Government are desirous of being made acquainted wifhthe opinion which you may bo Jed to form na to the genuineness of thechange of feeling wliicli appears in some localities to have taken placerepnrdhuj it, and a-s to th« nature and dogroo of (.ho influence which mnysai'oly and prop'-rly bo exortod by the ofHcers of the Department ofEducation (o promote tho extension of the schools for females.

48. With regard to Vernacular -education, it appoars that, with,• „ , „, . the exception of tho Nortli-Western Provinces.

Vernncul.-ir Education, i •• • i i u I t J.I i iwhere provision had been made ior t/ie gradual

extension of sohools over the entire country, by the combinedoperation of Mr. Thoraason's scheme of Tohsili Sohools, and thoHulkabundee system, no general plan had been decided on in any ofthe Presidencies. It is obvious that no general scheme of populareducation could be framed whioh would be suitable for all parts ofIndia. But, in accordance with the course followed in the North-Western Provinces by Mr. Thomason, and in same of tho BengalDistricts by Mr. Woodrow, it is most important to make the greatestpossible use of existing sohods, nnd of the masters to whom, howeverinefficient as teachers, the people have been accustomed to look up withrespect. .

49. The difficulties exporienoed by the officers of the Departmentof Education, in establishing a general system of

naSi™rtlhiSS"tO- ^ P°pular schools on the basis of the existing rulesior the administration of grnnts-in-aid, has been

already referred to. But, apart from the difficulty, and in many casestho impossibility, of obtaining the local support required for the establish-ment of a school under the grant-in-aid systom, it cannot bo deniedthat the mere' requisitions- made for the purpose by the offioers ofthe Education Department may have a tendency, not only to create aprejudice against education, but also to render the Government itselfunpopular. And, besides tho unpopularity likely to arise from thedemands on the'poorer members of the oommuuitj', made in tho wayeither of persuasion or of authority, there can bfl no doubt that thedignity of the Government is compromised by its officers appearing inthe light of importunate, and often unsuccessful, applicants-for pecuniarycontributions for objects which the Government is confessedly veryauxioua to promote.

50. On the whole, Her Majesty's Government can entertainlittle doubt (.hat tho grant-in aid system, as hitherto in force, is un-S'.iited to tho supply of "Vernacular education to tho mosses of thopopulation ; and it appears to thorn, BO far as they have becn-nhle t<>form an opinion, thut the moans of elementary education should ha

Tho priuoiples of perfect neutrality in 'matters ofreligion, on whiuli tho system lias boon brought into operation in India,have been laid down and promulgated with unmistakeablo distinctnessin tho published rules. The' amount contributed to Missionary insti-tutions bears but n small- -proportion-to the general expenditure oneducation, and besides tho numorous Native schools established underthe grant-in-nid system in tho mufussal, tho Sanskrit Col'cgn and thoMadrassn, aro maintained in their integrity at Calcutta, fur the exclu-sive bent fir. of tJ'O members of tho Hindu aud Jlaliomedan communi-ties respectively. •

57. But fts it has been alleged that, notwithstanding these pre-cautions, jealousy has been excited by ths assistance indirectly extended,through tho medium of grants-i.n-aid, to Missionary teaohiug, Iam anxious to learn- your opinion as to the manner in which, on thowhole, the grant-in-aid system.operates ; as to tho necessity of mukingany or what alterations in the existing rules; and as to the feelingwith which, in 3'our opinion, it is regarded by tho native community •in those districts in which it hns been brought into operation.

US. Tlio several hmuohes into which the subject divided itself,with roference to tho Despatch of 1854, have now been examined,aud ns .1'a.r us possible,, midor tho cireuinsfauces, disposed of; but inroforring to you for consideration ami report the subject of Jho sta!-iand prospocte of education in India, 1 cannot leave unnoUccd tho

Themain argument of fheso gentlemen rested on tho alarm and distrustwhich would probably bo exoited by tlin introduction of roligious teach-ing into tho Government Schools, even if attendance on tho Biblecla;«es worn declared to bo voluntary. Lint it wns furtlier observed, thatit would not be honest to accept tho nonsenfc of tlte people thomselveato atlond tho olafsts, nnd that it was not probable that tho assent of theparents would bo given ; and it was pointod out that most of the mastersin the Govoninicnt Institutions nro natives, and that instruction in thefacts and doctrines of the Bible, givon by Henthcnteaohers, would notbo likely to prove of niuoli advantage.

Despatch of 1S59.c

61, The freo resort of pupils of all classes to Government Schools,even at timo3 whcu unusual alarm has been oxcitcd in the minds of thermlivos, in a sulliiaonl. proof of. the confidence which is felt in the pro-mises of Grovcnnnoiit, that no inlerferonco with roligious belief will beallowed in thoir schools, »ud this confidence Her Majesty's Governmentwould bo very reluctant to disturb by any change of system wbioh.might givo occasion to misapprehension. They are unable, therefore,to sanction any modification of the rule of strict religious neutrality,as it, hac hithorto boon enforced in the Government Schools, and itaccordingly roinnins that (bo Holy Scriptures, being kept in the Library,and boing opon to nil tho pupiJs who inuy wish to study tlieni, nnd thettaoliers boing ut liberty to afl'oid instruction and explanations regardingthwn to all who way voluntarily seek it, the- course of study in all theGovernment Institutions be, as heretofore, oonfiued to secular subjects.

(52. I t is my intention in this Despatch to confine my remarks tothe subjeot of Gounral Education, and I therefore abstain from notio-

erely remark that, through thoseInstitutions, a course of honourable occupation is opt'ned out to thoseyoung men who, having obtained a oertaiu amount of general education,apply themselves to any one of the speoial subjects of studv, arid gothrough the prescribed examination. Some of the institutions havebeeu in operation for many years, and a large number of the nativeyouth who have passed through them are engaged in the public service,and others are prosecuting the practice of their profession on theirown account. •

63. - I am happy to add that inducements to Folf-improrement arenot confined to such specinl employments. It has long been the obfeotof tbe several Governments to raise the qualifications of Ihe pubKoservants even in the lowest appointments, and, by recent orders, noperson can, without a special report from the appointing officer, beadmitted into tho service of Government on a salary exeoedin.g Ks. 6per mensem, who is destitute of elementary education; and elaboraterules have boon framed, by whioli a. gradually ascending scale ofscholastic qualification is required in those entering the higher rants ofthe service. It may bo antioijiated that many yosirs will elapse beforea sutHcient number of eduoated young men are raised up in India tosupply thevarious subordinate offices in tho administration iu themanner contoraplated by the new rules.

.64. I t is tho desire of Her Majesty's Government that your reportehall not be ooiifinod to those potato whioh have boon ospooially referredto iu this De-piitoh, but shall embrace the whole subjoct of GeneralEducation. They will expoct to receive, atuoug other things, fullstatistical information as to the numbor of schools established since1854, whether by Government or with the aid of Government; thonnmbor of pupils on the books, and fcbt) condition of the attendance;the cost of the several schools ; and the whole expense incurred by thoGovornmont under the various heads of controlling establishments,instructive establishments and gvanfs-in-aid; and also, as far as practical,tho number and character of schools unconnected with Government aid

3-raT)XA.N EDUCATIONAL POLICY, 1904.

h No. 199—211, dated the lit it March 1901,, by theGovt, of India, Home Dzpt.

EDUCATION in India, in tho modern sense of the word,ir. , . -,,..• may be said to date from tho year 1854,History up to lbol. \ ±.\ r\ L e i~>* A • '

when the U.ouvt or Directors, in a momov-abl'o despatch, definitely accepted the systematic promotionof general education as ono of the duties of the State, andemphatically declared that the typo of education which theydesired to see extended in India was that which had for itsobject the diffusion of the arts, scicuce, philosophy, andliterature of Europe, in short, of European knowledge.

2. The acceptance of this duly was an importantdeparture in policy. The advent of British rule found inIndia systems of education of great antiquity existing amongboth Hindus and Muhammadans, in each case closely bound-up with their religious institutions. To give and to receiveinstruction was enjoined by the sacred books of theBrahmans, and one of the commentaries on the Rig Vedalays down in minute detail the routine to be followed incommitting a text-book to memory. Schools of learningwere formed in centres containing considerable high castepopulutionH, where Pandits gave instruction in Sanskritgrammar, logic, philosophy ,*aud law. For the lower classes,village schools were scattered over tho country, in which arudimentary education was given to tho children of traders,petty landholders, aiid well-to-do cultivators. Tho highereducation of Muhammadans was in tho hands of men oflearning, who devoted themselves to tho instruction of youth.Schools were attached to mosques and shrines and supportedby State grants in cash or land, or by private liberality.The course of study in a Muhainmadan place of learningincluded grammar, rhetoric, logic, literature, jurisprudence,and science. Both systems, the Muhamruadan no less thanthe Hindu, assigned" a disproportionate importance to thotraining of tho memory, and sought to develop tho criticalfaculties of tho mind, mainly by exercising their pupils inmetaphysical refinements and in fine-spun commentaries on-the meaning of tho texts which they had learnt by heart.

which the Government was exerting for tho suppression ofdemoralizing -practices, by enlisting in its .favour tho.gonornlsympathy of the native mind. They also Bought to createa supply of public servants to whoso probity "oliices of trustmight with increased confidence be -committed, and <o pro-mote the-material interests of the country by stimulating itsinhabitants to develop its vast resources. The measureswhich were prescribed for carrying out this policy were—(1) the constitution of a Department of Public Instruction;(2) the foundation of Universities at the Presidency towns;(3). tho establishment of training schools for teachers; (4)the maintenance of tho existing Government colleges andschools of a high order, and the increase of their numberwhen necessary; (5) increased altontion to all forms ofvernacular schools; and finally (6) the introduction of a•system of grnnts-in aid which' should foster a spirit ofreliance upon local exertions, and should in course of timerender it possible to close or transfer to the management oflocal, bodies-many of the existing institutions.

b". Tho policy laid down in 1804 was reaffirmed inTTi=m „ • is-1 ISO!), when tho administration had been

transferred to the Crown. 1 ho univer-sities of Calcutta, Madias, and Bombay were incorporated in1857, and those of the Punjab and Allahabadiii 1882 aud 1887,respectively. The growth of schools and colleges proceededmost rapidly between 1871 and 1882, and Was furtheraugmented by the development of the municipal systems,and by the Acts which were passed from 1865 onwardsproviding for the imposition of local cesses which might beapplied to tho establishment of schools. By the year 1882there were moro than two million and a quarter of pupilsunder instruction in public institutions. Tho EducationCommission of 1882-83 furnished a most copious and valuablereport upon the state of education as then existing, made acareful inquiry into the measures which had been taken inpursuance of tho clespach of 1854, and submitted furtherdetailod proposals for carrying out the principles of thatdespatch. They advised increased reliance upon and syste-matic encouragement of private effort, and their recommen-dations were approved by the Government of India. Shortlyafterwards a considerable devolution of tho management ofGovernment schools upon-'Municipalities and District Boardswas effected, in accordance with the principles of local self-government then brought into operation.

In point of quantity tho maincharges brought against the system aro to tho generaleffect, (1) that the higher education is jiursued with tooexclusivo a view to entering Government servico, that itsscope is thus unduly narrowed, and that those tvho failto obtain employment under Government are ill-fitted forother pursuits; (2) that excessive prominence is given toexaminations; (3) that the courses of study aro too purelyliterary in character; 4) that the schools and collegestrain the intelligence of. tho students too little, and theirmemory too much, BO that mechanical repetition takes theplaco of sound learning; (5) that in tho pursuit of Englisheducation tho cultivation of the vernaculars is neglected,with tho result that tho hope expressed in the Despatch of1854 that they would become the vehicle for diffusingWestern knowledge among the .masses is far as ever fromrealization.

On those grounds it ban often been urgedthat tho higher interests of education iu India are injuriouslyaffected by tho prevailing" system of basing selection for(roveriiment service on tho school and -University attainmentsof th»>se who oomo fotward as candidates for employment.Soinn indeed have gone so far as to suggest that educationalKtoudaids ..would be indefinitely raised it il were possible tobreak oil" these matoiial rolntions with tho State, and toinsMlute scparato examinations for tho p-.iblic service underi ho control of a special board, organb.ocl on the -m ex lei of.the Kn:jlish Civil Horvice Commission.

degrees would ho. depreciated, and the main stream of edu-cational effort would bo diverted into a narrow and sordid,channel. Such a degradation of tho educational ideals ofthe country could hardly i';til to react upon the character ofthe public service itself. The improved, tone of the nativeofficials of the present day dates from, and is reasonablyattributed to, the more extended employment of men whohavo received n liberal education in the Universities, andhave imbibed tinough the influence of their teachers someof the traditions of English public life. Nor is there 'myreason to believe (hat by introducing its own examinationsthe Government would raise the standard of fitness, or securebetter men for tho public service than it obtains under thepresent system. There is a general consensus of opinionamong all the authorities consulted that no examining boardwould do better than the Univeisities. If a separateexamination did no more than confirm the finding of theUniversities, it would be obviously superfluous; if itconflicted with that finding, it would be mischievous.

11. The Government is in the last resort the sole judgeas to the best method of securing (he .typo of officers whichit requires for its service. It alone possesses,the requisiteknowledge and experience: and by these tests must its deci-sion be guided. The principle of competition for Govern-ment appointments was unknown in India until a few yearsago; it docs not .spring from the traditions of the people,audit is without the safeguards by which its operation iscontrolled in England. It sets aside, moreover, considera-tions which cannot be disregarded by a. Government whoseduty it is to roconcilo tlio conflicting claims of diverse races,rival religions, and varying degrees of intellectual andadministrative aptitude and adaptabilitj'. For the highergrades of Government service thero is no need to haverecourse to the system, since it is possible in most cases fortho Government to accept the various University degreos anddistinctions as indicating that their holders possess theamount of knowledge requisite to enable them to fill parti-cular appointments; while in the case of tho more technicaldepartments, a scrutiny of the subjects taken up by thecandidate, and of the degree of success attained in each, willsufficiently indicnJo. how far ho possesses the particularknov/ledgo and bent of mind that his duties will demand.The Government of India are of opinion, therefore, tha..special competitions should, as a general rule, be diepensed

In future there will bo only two exami-nations preceding-the. University course. The first of these,the primary examination, will mark the completion of thelowest atago of instruction, and will test tho degree ofproficiency .attained in tho highest classes of primaryschool. But it will no longer be a public examinationheld at centres to which a number of schools nro summoned ;it will be conducted by the inspecting officer in theechool• itsolf. Tho -second examination will take place attho closo of the secondary, usually an Anglo-Vernacularcourse, and will record tho educational attainments of allboys who have- completed this course. In both stages ofinstruction special pro vision will be made for tho award ofscholarships.' In giving effect to this change of system, it will benecessary to guard against the danger that the subordinateinspecting agency may misuse, the increased discretionentrusted to them. Tho principles upon -which the grant toan aided school i.s to be assessed must therefore be laiddown by each Local Government in terms sufficiently clear toguide the inspecting officer in his recommendations; precau-tions must be taken against the abuso of authority, or theperfunctory performance of the duties of inspection; andin those provinces whero the application of standards ofefficiency other than those- afforded by written examinationsis a novelty, it will bo incumbent upon the EducationDepartment, by conferences of inspecting officers and by.other means, to securo a reasonable degree of uniformity iuthe standards'imposed.

To the peoplethemselves, monovor, the hick of education is now a moreserious disadvantage than it was in more primitive days.By the extension of railways the economic side of agriculturein India hns been grur.if.-ly developed, find the cultivator lmsUeon brought into contact with the commercial world, nndhas boon involve! jn transactions in which an illiterate! manis at a_gn.iat disadvantage. The material benefits attaching

~td o3li cation "iFuvo at the same time increased with thedevelopment of schemes for introducing improved agricul-tural methods, for opening agricultural banks, for strentheningthe legal position of the cultivator, and for generallyimproving tho conditions of rural life. Such schemes dependlargely for their success upon the influence of educationpermeating tho masses and rendering them accessible toideas other than those sanctioned by tradition.

15. How, then, do matters stand in respect of theextension among the masses of primary

its extent. education? The population of BritishIndia, is. over two hundred and forty millions. I t iscommonly reckoned that fifteen per cent.'of the populationare of school-going ago. According to this standard thereare more than eighteen millions of boys who ought now tobe at school, but of these only a little more than one-sixthare actually receiving primary education. If the statisticsare arranged by Provinces, it appears that out of a hundred •boys of an age to go to school, tho number attendingprimary schools of eomo kind ranges from between eightand nine in the Punjab and the United Provinces, to twenty-two and twenty three in Bombay arid Bengal. In thecensus of 1901 it was found that only one in ten of the malepopulation and only seven in a thousand of the femalepopulation wore literate. These figures exhibit the vastdimensions of tho problem, and show how much remainsto be done before the proportion of tho population receivingelementary instruction can approach the standard recognizedas indispensable in moro advanced countries.

J K i e T °f l0Cal 1i»". primary education should have apredominant claim upon their expenditure.

Tho administration of primary schools by local bodies isalready everywliero subject to_th^genen»l supervision offlie~E(luc'sTtiori Department as regards tuitional matters ;buttlT6""d'egr6c of control differs in 'different provinces, andwhore it is most complete, primary education is mostadvanced. It is impossible to extend that control to finan-cial matters, as thero are other objects besides education•which have legitimate claims upon local funds. But it isessential, in order to ensure that the claims of primaryeducation rocoive due attention, that the educational autho-rities should be heard when resources are bcinir allotted,and that they .should have the opportunity of carryingtheir representations to higher authority in the event oftheir being disregarded.

Where these methodshave been applied with discretion . by competent teachers,who have discarded elaborate forms and foreign appliances,aud have used for the purpose of instruction objects familiarto the children" in their every-day life, they have beenproductive of much benefit by imparting greater life andreality to the teaching, and by training tho children's'faculties and powers of observation.

it as a matter of tho greatest importance to provide a simple,suitable, and useful typo of .school for tho agriculturist, andto foster the domain! for it amoug tho population. Thisand other reforms in primary schools will involve somerevision of tho pay of primary teachers which varies greatlyand in some provinces is too small to attract or to retain asatisfactory class of men.

Ihe number ofsecondary schools has risen in tho last twenty years from3,91G to 5,403 and that of their pupils from 214,077 to558,378. in all .provinces- there is considerable eagernessamong parents to a.fVord their sons an English education, andtho ])rovision and maintenance of a high school are commonobjects of liberality among all sections of tho community.•Whether these schools aro managed by public 'authority orby private persons, and whether they receive aid from publicfunds or not, tho Government is bound in the interest of thocommunity to see that the education provided in them issound. It must, foi- example, satisfy itself in each case that asecondary school is actually wanted; that its financialstability is assured; that its managing body, where there isone, is properly constituted; that it teaches the propersubjects up to a proper standard'; that due .-provision hasbeen made for tho instruction, health, recreation, and dis-cipline of the pupils; that the teachers are suitable as regardscharacter,, number,. and qualifications; and that the foesto bo paid will not involve such competition with any existingschool as will be unfair and injurious to tho interests ofeducation. Such are tho conditions upon which alone schoolsshould 1)0 eligible to receive grants in-aid or to send up pupilsto compoto for or receive pupils in enjoyment of Governmentscholarships; and schools complying with them will beranked as " recognized '' schools.

best solution of the difficulty will-probably be foundin adapting t-"< Indinn conditions tho system of leavingexaminations, lield at the conclusion of the. secondary course,which has boon tried with success in other countries. Suchexaminations would not dominate the courses of study, butwould bo adapted to them, and would form the naturalculminating point of secondary education—a point not tobo reached by sudden and spasmodic elYorfc, but by theorderly development of nil the faculties of mind under goodand train<:<] teaching. Thov would be of a moro searchingcharacter than tho pre.sont entrance test, and tho certificategiven at their close would be ovidencs that: tho holder hadreceived a sound education in a recognised school, that liehad borno a r,ood character, and that he had really learntwhat the school professed to have-taught him. It would thuspossess a definite value, and would deserve recognitionnot only by Government tmd the Universities but also bythe large body of private employers who are in want ofwell-trained assistants in their various lines of activity.

25 Tho remark has often been made that the extension,,,,. , , .. • in India of an education model-Jit lues of educat ion . , -. -r-i . . .

led upon European principlesand so far as Government institutions nre concerned, purelysecular in its character, has stimulated tendencies un-favourable to discipline, aud has oncouraged tho growthof a spirit of irreverence in tho rising generation. If anyschools or colleges produco this result, they fail to realizetho- object with which they are established'— of promotingthe moral no loss than the intellectual and physical well-being of their students. It is the settled policy of Gov-ernment to abstain from interfering- with the religiousinstructions given in aided schools. Many of these, main-tained by native managers or by missionary bodies invarious parts of tho Empire, supply religious and .ethicalinstruction to complete the educational training oftheir 'scholars. In Government institutions the instruc-tion is, and must continue to bo, exclusively secular.In such cases tho remedy for the evil tendenciesnoticed abovo is to be sought, not so much iu any formalmethods of teaching conducted by means of moral text-books or primers of personal ethics, as in the influenceof carefully Selected and trained teachers, the mnin--tr-tmnco of a high standard of discipline, the institutionof widl-mana;.;od hostels, the proper selection of text-books,

Pemalo education. tered peculiar difficulties arisingfrom, the social customs of tho people; but they haveacted on the view that through female education a "fargreater proportional impulse is imparted to the educa-tional and moral tone of the people titan by the educationof men," and have accordingly treated this branch ofeducation liberally in respect of scholarships and fees.Nevertheless though Bome advance has been made,female education as a whole is still in a very backwardcondition. Tho. number of female scholars in public.schools in the year 1901-02 was 444,470, or less than aninth of the number of male scholars. The percentageof girls in public schools to the total female populationof ochool-going age has risen from 1*58 in the year 1886-87 to 2-49 in. 1901-02. This rate of progress is. slow.The Education Commission made recommendations fortho extension of female education, and the Governmentof India hope that with the increase of the funds assignedin aid of education their proposals may be more fullycarried out. The measures winch are now being takenfor further advanco ..include the establishment in import-ant centres of model primary girls' schools, an increasein the number of training' schools, with moro liberal assis-tance to thoso already in existenco, and a strengtheningof the staff of inspectrcsscs.

of this Corav'iiflsion, and of the criticisms "which it calledforth, tlie Government of India have conio to the conclu-sion that certain reforms in the constitution and manage-ment of <ho Universities aro necessary. They: propose thatthe Senates, which from various causes have grown toan unwieldy size, should be reconstituted on a workingbasis and that the position and powers of the Syndicatesnhould bo dciitiod find regulated. Opportunity will bo takento give a stfitutory recognition to the privilege of electingmember* of i.he Senate which, sinco 1891, has been con-coded by way of experiment; to . the graduates of thethroo older Universities. A limit will be placed upon thenumber of ex-officio fellows; and a reduction will be. madein the maximum numbers of the' Senates so as to restrictnominations to those bodies to the persons well quali-fied to discharge .their responsible duties. Powers willbe conferred upon all the Universities to make suitableprovision for University teaching. The teaching given incolleges will, instead,of being tested mainly or wholly byexternal examinations, be liablo to systematic inspectionsunder the authority of tbo.Syndicate; and the duty of theUniversit}7 not only to demand a high educational standardfrom any new college that desires to be recommended toGovernment for affiliation, but also gradually to enforce asimilar standard in colleges ahead}' .affiliated, will bo care-full)r defined. A college' applying for affiliation will berequired to satisfy the University and the 'Government that itis under the management of a regularly constituted govern-ing body; that its teaching staff' is adequate- for [ho coursesof instruction undertaken; that the buildings and equipmontare suitable, and that due provision is made for theresidence and supervision of the students; that, so far ascircumstances permit, due. provision is made for thoresidonco of some of tho teaching staff; that tho financialresources of the college are sufficient; that its affiliation,having regard to the provision for students made byneighbouring colleges, will not.be injurious, to the interestsof education or discipline; and that: the fees to be paid bythe students will not involve competition injurious to theinterests of education with any existing^ college in thesame neighbourhood.

Tho Government.of Indiaare of opinion that, tho true function of Indian Schools ofArt is tho encouragement of Indian Art and Art industries;and that in so far as they fail to promote these arts or indus-tries, or provide a trainiiig that is dissociated from theirfuture practice, or aro utilized as commercial ventures, theyare conducted upon erroneous principles. Their first object,should bo to tench such arts or art industries as the pupil,intends to pursue when ho has left the school. Examples ofthe arts which may thus be taught to thoso who will practicethem professionally in,future, or to drawing masters, are:—«designing (with special reference. to Indian arts and indus-tries), drawing, painting, illumination, modelling, photo-graphy, and engraving. The art industries taught in Schoolsof Art should be such as aro capable of being carried on inthe locality, and in /which improvement can be effected byinstructing pupils or_ workmen,.by. means of superior appli-ances, mothock, or designs. Instruction in theso arts or artindustries should bo directed to their expansion through £haimprovement of the skill and capacity of the pupil or work- .man, but it should not bo pushed to the point of competingwith local industries, of doing within the school what canequally well be done outside, or of usurping the sphere ofprivate enterprise. The schools should not be convertedinto shops, nor should the officers of the Education Depart-ment be responsible for extensive .commercial transactions;but samples of Ihe wares produced, may legitimately be kept,for sale or for orders, and may be exhibited in public museums.A register of the workmen or pupils trained in schoolshould be kopt, with the object of enabling orders whichmay bo received to be placed with advantage. The teachingshould bo in tho hands of oxperts, trained as a rule in IndianColleges or in t\ it School.'!. The specialization of a limitednumber o( url:a and art industries in the several schoolsshould be preferred to the simultaneous teaching of a largenumber.

Both of theso defects must be supplied before any- real;progross can bn looked for. In tho first place an organi-zation, must bo created by which mon qualified1 to carry ontho work of research, and to raise tho standard of teaching,can be trained in India itself. Before ngriculturo can.beadequately tnu^ht in- the vernacular, suitable text-booksmust bo produced, and this can only bo done by men whohave .learnt tho subject in-. English. The Government of;India have therefore under their consideration a scheme forthe establishment of an Imporial Agricultural College in.connoction wiMi an Experimental Farm and 'Research.Laboratory, to be carried on under the general direction oftho Inspector-Gronernl of Agriculture, at which it is intended1

to provide a thorough training in all branches of figriculturulscience- combined with constant practice in farming workand estate management. In addition to shorter courses forthose studentB who are intended for lower posts, there willbe courses of instruction extending to five years, which-will qualify men to iill posts in the Department of Agricul-ture itself, such as thoso of Assistant Directors,: ResearchExports, Superintendents-of Farms, Professors,- Teachers,and Managers of Court of >Wards and Encumbered Estates.It is hoped that a demand may arise among the landowning;classes for men with agricultural attainments and thattho proposed institution, may succeed, in meeting - thatdemand. Arrangements will also be mndo to admit to thehigher course* those who have undergone preliminary trainingat the. Provincial colleges, and thereby to exercise uponthpso colleges an influence tending gradually to raise theirstandard of efficiency.

Tho practising school should bo fully equipped"with well trained teachers,' and the students should seeexamples of the best teaching, and should teach undercapable supervision; It is desirable that the Training Collegeshould be furnished with a good library, and with a museumin which should bo exhibited samples, models, illustrations, .or records of the school work.of tho province.. Every possiblecare should be tnken to maintain a connection betweenthe Training College and the school, so that tho student onleaving the college and entering upon his career as a teachermay not neglect to practise the methods which he has beentaught, and may not (as.sometimes happens) be preventedfrom doing so and forced to fall into line with tho moromechanical methods of his untrained colleagues. The trainedstudents whom the college has sent out should bo occasionallybrought together again, a-nd tho inspecting staff shouldco-operate with the Training College authorities in seeingthat the influence of tho college mnkos itself felt in the schools.

The usual type ofnormal school is a boarding school, where students who havereceived a vernacular education are maintained by stipendsand receive further goneral education, combined, with in-struction in tho methods of teaching, and practice in teaching,under supervision. The course differs in longlh in tho differ-ent provincos. in future it will aa a general rule be for notless than two years.

•kidcpendent of Government is ma do clear by the fact thatmore than two-u'fths of the boarders woro in unaided hostels,and that of the total expenditure upon nil hostels, ten lakhswere derived from subscriptions and endowments, as com-parod with two lakhs sixty-three thousand rupees from publicfunds. The Ciovernment of India believe that the systemof hostels, if extended with due regard for its essentialprinciples, which include direct supervision by residentteachers, is destined to exercise a profound influence onstudent life in India and to correct many.of iho shortcomingswhich non' attend our educational methods.

43. The reduction in the number of examinations whichInjecting «mff. i» . being carried _ cut and the genera!

raising of educational standards which la•contemplated,, demand im increased stringency in inspectiooand a substantial strengthening of the inspecting staff. Inthe Despatch of 1851, it was enjoined that inspectors should" conduct, or'assist at, the examination of the scholars . . .and generally, by their advice, aid the managers and school-masters in conducting colleges and schools of every descrip-tion throughout the country." The latter function is no lessimportant than the former, and calls for wider educationalknowledge, greater initiative, and the oxnrciso of a wisediscretion in adapting means to ends. It is a task whichwill provide worthy occupation for mon who are imbuedwith the best traditions in the matter of school management,find it 18 through the influence of such mou filono that thereis any real prospect of its accomplishment. Their assistancecan only be enlisted by increasing the cadre of the IndianEducational Service. Some additions in the lower branchesof the inspectorate aro also needed in order to provide fora complete system of inspection in situ instead of collectiveexaminations. Tho Government of India do not requirethat inspectors should bo precluded from having recourse tooxumination as a moans of inspection; but they desire thatinspectors should be much raoro^tli'ULPiery.cxauiiuers. They/should ncT~o7iTy~j"u<rge~ the results of teaching, but shouldguide and adviso as to its methods; and it is essential thatthoy sliouid bo familfaF'witlT the schools in their ordinaryworking conditions. The work of schools should be definedivith reference rather to tho courses of instruction followedthan to the examinations that have to be passed, and rigiduniformity either in the arrangement of subjects or in theclassification of the /scholars should be avoided, froc plnv

2. I am lo fin v thai; tho views expressed by Sir Alexander Pedlerin Kin's circular bnvo tl.m cordial approval of tho Liuutenant-Oiovornor.Tho inllucjioo of IVlagis'rnl.es imd other Executive ofBcers in fostering-and developing primary education iu their districts cun scarcely boovor-esf imfdc'<h It bus woinoil to Sir And row Frnsor a most deplorablething tint 1 tn'a inf'uonco should have of lato yearn boon EO little cxer-oisotl.

• mid strongly d^piocato I.I10 existing1 state of tbingfi. Ho is thereforecontident iJn.l Sir Aloxandor Pedlar's circular will commend itself tooxocutive ullioors (broughout tbo Province. There is scarcely anything1

moro important lor tho well-being of tho people than a sound andefficient system of primary education; and tbat District OiBcor fails iutho dischargo of 0110 of bis most important funotions who does not donil ha can to promote and develop such a system,. . 3. . Tbo Lieiitcuiint-ttovornor hopes that Sir Aloxander Pedler'scircular will result in Educational oflicors Eoeking tbo co-operation ofComjni?sioners and District Ollioera in education generally; and HisHonour dosui os on his own part to invite tbat co-operation with theflflieers of (ho Education Department. In all departments of education,%xeoutive otficers may render valuable assistance; and it is tbeir duty,as far as possible, to do so. It ie, howoyor, specially important thatthey should give oiirucst and constant attention to primary education.The Lieutonant-Govoruor ho]ics that iufuturo tbero will be not onlyaa absence of friction, but also roal co-operation between executive andeducational ofliecrs.

4. Sir Alexander Pedler has indicated in his circular that Judicialofficers also may give valuable assistance in regard to oducation.Esporieuco has shown tbo Ijieutonant-Uovernor that this is speoiallythe oaso iu regard to Colleges and High Schools.

1.1. CONTROLLING AQENCIRS. • 91Inter-vchttion of Officers.

aB a matter of fart tho Magistrate is invariably tho Chairman of theDistrict Board nnd I ho Executive authority. There is 'no doubt (is tothe soundness ol'tliis i-riuciplo, and it is clear that thoso in charge oftho local nianngomtjnt ol all public and sorni-pnblic affairs aro bestqualified to understand nnd arrange for t)ie .educational needs andeircunistancos of a locality.

6. Experienco lu-.s, however, shown that as tho primary forms oteducation bocoino moro'aud nioro doveloped and inoro toohnionl, suchus lias boon tho case by the introduction of tho'new Vernacular Schemeof Education in J!)01, thoro is moro and more neoiFoi expert super-"visionToftKd""purely educational aspect of school work. Henco thedetails, of coursoa to bo studied iu schools, oven down to tho primarystage, and the critical inspection of tho work of suoh schools, must belinnded'over to, nnd roniain uudsr tho control of, moro or Ies3 exporteducationists. At. t ho same thno, the moro general aspects of PrimaryEducation as to its amount, distribution and to its general arrangementare undoubtedly best controlled by local Exocutivo authorities. ThoExecutivo oflirors can also by thoir inspections greatly assist thoEducational oflicerr,, and by thoir visists to tho schools they can givematerial encouragement to oduoation.

7. In this connection tho following oxtract from the Governmentof India Resolution on Indian Educational Policy may be quoted :—

" Iu so far as District or Municipal-Boards arc required to devote theirfunds to education, Primary Education should hare n predominant claim upontlirir ozpenditurc. Tlio administiatiou ol primnry schools by local bodies isalready everywhere subject to the general supervision .of tho Education Depart-ment as regards tnitioniil matters, hut the deajreo ot control differs iu differentI'rovi'nees, and whero it is most complete Primnry Education is most advancod.It is irapotisiblo to extend that control to financial matters, as there are other -olijects besides odiicnlion which have legitimate claims uj>on local 'funds. Butit is essential, iu ord'ir to ensure tliat tho claims of Primary Education receiveduo attention, that the- Educational authorities BIIOUWI ho hoard when resourcesare being allot tod, and that they sliould Jiavo the opportunity o{ carryinu theirrepresentations to Uii;hcr authority iu the event of tbeir boing disregarded. Infuture, therefore, so much of the budget estimates of District or MunicipalBoards ns relates to educational charijos will bo submittod through the Inspectorto tho Director of Public Instruction beforo sanction.'"

8. The policy which is hero clearly laid down is, that while theMagistrates and Collectors and other Executive officers and Commissionersin thoir Divisions aro chnrged with tho responsibility of fosteringand developing tho. Primary Eduoation in their districts, and withfjceiug that a sufficient proportion of funds is dovotod to this purpose,tho Educational officers on tho other hand aro ohargod with tho dutyof rendering an muoh help iu this matter as oan bo given, and with thoduty of consulting such oflicurs in all efforts made to improve PrimaryEducation, while thoy aro responsible for the eduoational standards,tho teaching and the oxpert inspoction of suoh schools, lioth of theseacts of officers can, of course, materially assist ouo another by heartyco-operation,

" * . * * * In regard to certain bronchos of .Educationaladministration, tho '.Resolution of July 1877 laid down a procedurewhich required tho mutual oo-oporatiou of Educational and local Civilofficers, and consequently involved numorous references from ouo to thoother in carrying on tho business of education. Such eo-opsration isattended wit h no rlight advantages; and it is hopod that the changesnow tobomado will still secure tho interest of Civil ollicors in educationalwork, and will onoounigo thorn to continue to givo that support andassistance wliieh havo boon found so useful an aid to educationalprogress. At the samu time, tho Lieutenant-Qovm-nor is"unable to over-look tho fact'that tho Hj'slem of rautual references in administering thobusiness of an important dop.irtmout involves delay, and lessens respon-sibility to nn extent which may easily become injurious. He hasthorofore resolved to adopt tho prinoiple of a definite, poparation ofduties between tliu oflicers of tho Education Department on tho onehand and tho Magistrates and the District Education Commit tens onthe other, subject only to tho condition that the oilicors of either olnssessliall contiauo to enjoy reusonaUa opporiunilios of obtaining inform-ation and of giving assistance in regard to work not placed under theirdirect control. * * • • - '

' 'As rccrards Iho proposed division of administrative duf.ien betweenCivil officers on tho ouo hand and the olficora of tho Education Depart-ment on tho other, the Lieutenant-Crovomor is of opinion that in eachdistrict tho Magistrate, associating with himsolf tho Diskict Comraittoolisa oonsultativo body, should retain' gouoral control over all thatconcorns -Primary Education, including tho administration of theprimary grant, tho examination.for, and award of, primary scholarships,•and. the management of the third-grade normal schools for the trainingof gurus wherever such a school exists. Tho District Committee, besidesassisting the Magistrate in matters of Primary Education,, will furtherundertake tho gonoral supervision of the zilla school £0 far as regardstho maintenance of tho building, the finaucial affairs of the school, andthe settlement of questions of discipline that may bo referred to thomby the flead-maitor of the school: in all matters in i'aot, except thedetermination of the. course of instruction and tho appointment or.promotion of tonuhorn, though tlioir ropieflentutionson those lust exceptedpoints will iilso vi'ooivu I ho fullest attention.

• 4. Intercourse with, parents, guardian*, and members of ManagingCommittees.— A vnry important part of an Inspecting officer's duty(specially thnfc of tho mitivo inppooting staff) is to bo in touoh withthe people. It is advisable, when practicable, that a Deputy Inspectorshould arrange to halt at a middle or uppor primary eohool,* and, afterhis inspeotion, have nn interview with the Manuring Committee, andalso, ns far as pruoticnble, see tho parents and guardians of the pujiils.In this way ho oun point out the dofeets which havo oome to his know-ledge, explain the ueoiwnity of regulur nnd punctual attendance, audinduco the poo]lo gen. Tally to take nn interest in oducat ion. Similarly,Sub-Inspectors and In.;pooting lJandits should arrange to halt in thevioinity of lowor primary fiohools, rospeotivoty.

5. Inspection and Jvxamination.—Tho proper scrutiny of a sohool/consists of two principal pails, viz., inspection and examination. Byinspection.is meant llu> process of ficning a sohool at work during itsordinary roulino, noting tho suitability of the building, tho 6auitaryconditions, tho arrangoniont and organization of classes, the furniture andapparatus, how th'J accounts and registers are kept, the organization, ordernnd discipline, tho relatiou between teachers nnd soholars, and especiallytho method of te.aohing. By examination of pupils (when on inspec-tion) is moant the process of testing the pupils so as to see if the in-struction and the niodo of instruction ai'o sound, and, further, to seewhether faults detected by failures in- scholarship examinations haveboon or nro being-corrected ; also to seo how far subordinate Inspectingofficers have niado unitablo • reports. In order to arrive at a fairknowledge of tho condition of a 6ohool, both inspection and examinationare neeessar}'. Inspection, or at leabt part of it, should usually cornofirst, and the cxamirmtiou of pupils afterwards, for the followingreasons:— - . '

Tfii'fit.—By first inspecting, especially seeing t\io work of theteanhor.H, much may be loarned as to tho standard towhich i-ho impilfi havo arrived, whioh will bo a guide totho Inspecting oliicer ia giving questions later on when

' he is oxajnining the pupils.Secondly.—Tho pupils having beodme used to his voioe and pro-

sonro will be less shy, timid or excited.Thirdly— Examination oauses so much ' deranjfemont of tho

ordinary routine of a school that when it has begun no•fair judgmont can be formed regarding tho disoiplinoand methods of teaching in ordinary oircumstances.

6. Notice ofinspcction. — Qr&inaTily, notice of tho date of inspec*lion should be sont to high English, middle and traiuing school?,with tho intimation that work should bo oarriod on in accordance witUthe usual routino on the day of iiispootion, so that tho Inspectingofficer may have an opportunity of seeing how the sohool is managed,tho work of the Foveral teachers conducted aud the disoipliuo main-(niniid. The Hoad-uinutnr should also bo asked to have the usualEtniements us to r ill-number, number of pupils present, tho averagjroll-number, and avouigy daily att'.ndanco for Uie last AIS moutiis aud

15. Teacher's position.—'Tho teaolier should arrnngo his class andtake up such a position thnt ho cau sco every boy in tho class,and, if practicable, evory boy in tho class should I'aoo HID teacher'sposition. Iu 11 lnrgo ro«m ho will uot prob.ibly bo able to beartho pupils at tho tmd of tho'classes, unless they speak very loudly.In such a enso ho should get tho boys to como up to his positionin baton"!", but undue no circumstances should ho niovo dowu to thepupils. Tlio movement of pupils should bo eirixitud by voice andeye. I t is futid for a toauhor to louoh pupils in ordor to gel thorn intopositiou.

l(j. Notebook.—Every toachor should keop a note.-book, in whiohb» should, note tho separate heads into which he divides each lesson,and in which ho should <mler bri'oJly tbo information beyond thatgiven in tho text-book whieh ho ha;i givon or intends to givo to his class.A perusal of this notu-bo >k will muoli facilitate the Inspecting officer'swork, and give him'an insight ns to tho teaoher's methods, and whatho should expect from a class. The homo, preparation of teaclieracunnot bo too stvonsly insisted on. AEnny musters toach with thetext-books iu their hands, but the best musters only look at tho text-books to see tho scopn of tho lesson, ond them put it nway. Thus theireyes iu-(i always on tho bojs' faces —a-groat help in touching ; also thisacoustoins tho bo3's to hoar facts esproBsed iu'different words, ikudBO discouingcs parrot-like repolitions.

17. Teacher's language.—When listening to a mauler's lessou, theInspecting olficor should particularly note whethor the lessou is giveuin plain and homnly language, such as oau easily be understood by theolass. Ho will also noto whether- the toucher succeeds in fixing theattention of tho whole class, nud that he docs not ooniino his attentionto a few boys, but divides it over the whole olass, paying especial atten-tion »to tho backward boys. I t is a common fault of inaxperienoedteaohers to devote most of their atteution to the few good pupils nearthem, to the neglect of tho olass in goneral.

18. lic-'idiiyf) lesson.—Tlio In6peoting offioor having taken up hisposition at one side of tho teaoher, far enough away from him thatno may not disturb the clasp, should then note tho leaohor's method—(1) whether ho reads aloud a passage, the class listening, and then getstho pupils to read ; (2) whother ho detoots mistakes in pronunciation,in not paying attontion to stops, in not emphasising tha emphotioword or words, in reading wjth expression, and in inflection of voioawhen nocossary, and how he oorreots these; (3) does ho make the pupilsread again a sentence in which a mistako has boon made, or aiinplycorrect the mistake nnd thon allow tho pupil to procoed ; (•!) does hodovolo a cortnin timo, Ray, 20 minutes, to roading only, und thon, miy,20 niinutcs to oxnmining and oxpluininjr tho toxt, uud tho. remainderot tho timo to p.-irsinrj, pf.o., or doe.B ho do all theso Biuiultaneously ; (5)does ho put tho pujtilB on vousecutively to road or put them oa up d

Inspections and Visits.

very little veal infllniclioii is given. In most oases tho so-called teacheris in roality only an examiner. Ho looks over oopios written either atBchool or at homo, marks niistakos, but really p,ives uo instruction howfaults should bo roinodiod. A good teacher in this subject should, seethat the head lines givpn to pupils arn in acenrdanoe with the severalKtandaids of hmul-writing ; as for instance, that iurouud hand the lettersin tho headiugs ary of iho snmo si;;o, that one pupil has not differentniae heading from nnolhor; in u'no that uniformity should be observedin each standard. Thu (ouchor should ulso obsorvo how pupils sit atclo.slcs and handle their pens or pencils, so as to correct improperuttitudos or any luulesiiablo habits. Attention should bo paid to theforming uf lottery and soiling whether pupils are too slow or too quickin writing. A good Icuclicr will invariably make use of the black-board in touching writing, and it is nocessary to see that he can himselfwile dourly anil nnallv or. tbo black-board.

2:5. Gaogrtiplii/.—Tho touching of Geography is, as a rule, mostunsatisfactory in Indian schools, teaohew confining their work tosimply seoing that pupils learn by rote lists of names, without teachingthe intellectual -part of the subject; in faot, the teaching is lifeless.As liVarou remarks : " It is a deplorable waste of teaohiug power, andis ruinous both to toaehera and taught to let tbo teaohor's time andvigour bo spent iu telling the children mere rudimentary facts whichthe}7 can gniu from a penny text-book." The Inspecting oflioer shouldtbereforo direct his attention to the following points: — (1) To seethat the t<iaoher clearly oxplains to his fclass the difference between-physical and .political geography; (2) that the rudiments of. physicalgeography are first 1 aught; (Ji) that maps are invariably used whenteachiug geography; (A) thnt a tenchor docs not waste his time insimply testing tho pupi's as to .their knowledge of -the home lesson;(C>) to BOO that the roaoher makos the losjon intorostiug by givingliis class extra facts not lucutioned in tlio text-book, espeoiallywith reference to historical facts and things of iuteiest oonnottodwith the plaeo or country; (G) to BOO that the teaober has made homepreparation for the lesion to bo taught; (7) does ha use blank mupsor, if these aro not available, does ho draw blank maps on the blackboard; and (8) does ho exercise the pupils in map-drawing ?

24. History.—This lesson in history should bo largely catechetical,and Rpooiul attention (should be paid to seeing that history is notuiernly learned by roto : in faot, when a pupil simply repeats the book-word?, bo should not get auy credit for his answer. The auswor shouldbe in tho pupil's own. words, and should be snob as to show that thesubjfiot has boon really mastered and not simply learned by roto.AYhon teaching history a map should invariably bo used, so as togive the pupil uu hifvlleclual idoa of the subjoot. The teacher shouldliiinr-oH huro carefully road the lesson for tho day, and al.*o read otherbooks bearing on iho l'V-tuui, so us to bo ablo to exemplify and throwextra light on. the soil>j<i:t. At tho sumo timo it should be carefullysoon that tho loss on in history does not degenerate into simply lecture.This is a fuulfc of \ oucr and iucxperionced teuohers.

(c) VISITS AND TOURS.

In the Qouoral Report on Publio Instruction in Bengal, 1903-04, it C j rD l

N oP f

r.is stated that tho minimum number of visits may be reduoed if possible dated 8t'hSefrom 350 to 2uO or 225 a year. The object was to utilize the 8ub-ln- i n -spectors moro thorougly as teachers of the new me'hods of work, as wellas giving them ruoro time tc work as Inspecting officers. Aooordingly ithas been romarkcd there that " a day spent on each visit of inslruotiouand inspection is not too much." This was also intended to put a stopto hurried perfunctory visits, suoh as have boon common hitherto, andto ensure thorough, or at least improved, inspection, and to train thountrained yurm of primary sohools. The number of tour days shouldnot therefore? fall bolu•y_200_dayfi, and tho uumbor of visits below 225,aud the lattor should^m no case oxoeed 301) a yetir, as that will almostcertainly show perfunctory work. :

Deputy Inspectors, and those Sub-Inspeotors who havo over 15 D. P. I. cirprimary schools within 5 miles of their head-quarters., may be allowed jgjj,160-' j-J,1*,'to count one day for every two days spent on tho inspection of such \oos.eohools withiu their limits.

O—KEPOUTS AND RETURNS.

(a) ANNUAL itErORT OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.

Ko. 865T.—G., dated the Id Jnhj 1901, from the Govt. of Bengal.General J)ept., to D. P. I.

I AM directed to say Hint tho Lientenant-Govornor has consideredyour letter No. 31.7i>, dated lLa 20th April 1901, and hiis detiroi meto oonvey the following oivlors, in addition to those contninod in theGovernment, of India's .Hosoluiion No. 2741, dated tho 26th Marob.1D01, for tho future propriraiion of the Annual Bopovt of the Ijituca-tion Dopartuun!.. i''or this purpose tho vonort tor 1899-1900 has been,used ns the bn.si.-i for t.ho orders given below.

2. I t nppeai-s to Dis Honour that the B'ze of the present reportcan bo materially roduccd without iui paring its usefulness by—(1)omitting certain stnlistios now givon in tho body of tho report, (2) byinserting some nf. them in tho app?ndices, and (3) by embodying othersin a separate Provincial Volume. Any points of impoitaueo conneotedwith them, which you may think worthy of comment, should ba dealt•\vitk in narrative form in the body of tho report. Annexed is astatement showing the tables in the (several chapters that are to beomitted from tho report or otherwise doalfc with.

3. The letter-press of the report should also, oa far as possible, beourtailed on the lines laid down by the Government of India, espeoiallyChapters H I and IV, the former of -which, tho Government of India

.are of opinion, should be out down from 20 to 4 or 5 pages. Thenames only of the officers referred to in paragraph 28 of Chapter I I [Bhould be rneutiooed.

4. It will be Bonn from the statement annexed that the table inparagraph '61 of Chapter VII is to be omitted ; -but the figures shouldbe kept in.a register in your office for reforence. The remarks of thoInepoctor-Genoral of. Civil Hospitals on the Medical schools Bhouldalso be considerably shortened. "~

5. With regard to Gonoral Table II, detailed proposals are awaitedfrom you. as to how tho indiroot as well an the direot expenditureincurred in orlucathig each pupil should bo taken, into ocoount instrikingthe average.

6. It has bpeii suggested that the subsidiary Tables I, I I (a) andII (b) should Ve o:nnm(tod from the report, on the grouud that they arunever used by you. His. Honour, however, desires that you will begood enough to furnUh Government with your roasons for omittingthese tables, and pending orders thereon, they should be published inthe Provincial Volume. ;

7. . The descriptive portion of tho roport should not exceed 50 pagesin print: this, it is considered,. will provide sufficient space to dealadequately with all ruattois oonncctod with the reoent developments ineducation in Bengal.

Mo. t-52, dated the C25l-h October 18SS, frcm tho Oorl. of India, HomoDept., to the Accountant-General, Beiujnl.

I AM directed to acknowledge receipt of your letler* No. 13i.lL.,•TutiiovJ.ire^of' ti.a clatcf '1 th& 14th August last., enquiring whether

Va\-Mti.icnt <>f Finance tlie teim " other oflicer," in lino 4 of tbe noto to«...! commerco. . r u l e 2 ) KPotion 7o of tbo Civil Lo.-ivo Code, may beheld to include n Principal of a Soliool or College. You explain thatIho practice of youroffico I.IUH, hitherto, been almost exclusively to limittlio application of tbo rule to I)intrirl, and Se.ssi.ons Judges, but that an.l'Mucsilionfi-l Uffincr, officiating aB Principal of a College, has latelyckiimt-d privilcgo leave under tbo noto in question on (bo ground ofhis n<-thaving beon absent froni his station for more thau 15 days.IL'OH add that the claim has been supported by the Director, PublioInstniclion, in view of tho fact that Principals- of Collou'es are required,under goncral orders, to bo present at their stations during tho vaeutiou.

y. In reply, I am to rotor you to l.he communication from tho[,oMcr No. 40a, datou Finance Department, noted on the margin, and

2:"ir.i-Jainnry lSS-i, to n.o to state that t!:o Governor-General in Council(iovcrnmciit ot Uenp;:\l." , , , . . , . . .Copy nndorsod to Ac'- sees DO reason to depart irom the principlecunntantuencnii, Bcujrai, of the ruloasi them explained. The circumstancethat nn oflicer (whoso case may, under certain conditions, bo governedby rule 2, section 73 of tho Civil Leave Code) procures a certificateshowing that ho has not boon absent from his station for more than15 days-of a vacation does not entitle him to privile^i; leuvo under thooidinary rules unless he is oompolJod to furotro his. vacation nud remainat his post in obedience to genernl or special orders issued by competentauthority in any year. It would therefore bo necessary, under thooperation of rule 2, for tho particular oUloer to show that tie-had askedfor and boon refused leave to absent himself from his- station duringvacation. Subjeot to this undpr.-taudin^, tho expression " other officer "in line A of the noto to rule 2, pection 7>'J of tho Civil Loavo Co<Jo maybo nonhtruod as embracing a Principal of a School or College I am toadd that it should be borne iu niind that all privilege lenve is a privilegeto bo onjoyed at the conyonionce of the public servioe as well as that oftho oflicfir himself ; and this principle requires that officora serving indepartments entitled to periodical vacations should in ordinary casesavail themselves of leave only during vacation.

Circular .A'o. - j . dated (he 23rd September 1003, by the Director ofPublic Instruction.

I nAVI'. tho honour to invito your attention to Sir Alfred Croft'sCircular No. 04, dated tho 23rd, Juno lfiSO on the "subject of.tb.ai'ulipay privilege leavo of Principals of Colleges.

2. It was stated in this Ciroular thnt Principals of Colleges, whowore iu direct communication with this oiDce woro not released f roraduty during vaoations other than the gazetted holidays sanctioned byGovernment, and that if any such officer wished to absent himself fromduty during the whole ot any part of a vacation ho mu6t apply to thisoffice for sanction, which would not bo grantod unless arrangementscould be made to plaoe ono of tho Professors of tho College iu chargoduring bis absence. i

3. It now appears from the correspondence with the Accountant-Gonoral, Bengal, that the above statement is directly against the rulingof tho Government of India, in tho Homo Department, containedin their letter No. 452, dated tho 25lli October 18SH -which.decided thatPrincipals of Colleges should ordinarily avail themselves of tho periodi-cal vacations.

4. For the purpose of privilege leave, tho officers of tho Kdueation.Department aro dividod into two classes, subject respectively toArticles '27.1 and 273 of tho Civil Rorvica Itegulaiions. Tho dill'or-enco between the two olassos may be summarised undor.two heads, viz.,(1) Article 273 officers, if they enjoy a part of the vacation up to 10days, yot get privilege leavo under tho ordinary rules aa if they didnot enjoy vacation; Artiolo 271 oificcr. , if thoy. enjoy even a- singleday of tho vacation, eomo uudor the proportionate cnloulaticn ofArtinto 274 as regards full pay and privilege leave.

5. Thcro can bo no question of an Article 273 officer enjoying thowhole vacation. It is admitted thnt lie hns to remain on duty for aportion ol tho vacation, aud a oertiflcatG from him stating for whatportion of tho vacation he was on duty is all thnt is necessary to passhis full pay privilege leave. An'Article 271 officer on the other hav.dis supposed to avail himself of vacations, and if he claims privilege

.leavo on full pay, ho has to produce orders that he was prevented fromuvailintr himsulf of tho vacation or part of the vacation in any year.

(t>) PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN EJIAS MAHALS.

Po. 550, (hied the 21st June .1888, from the Qovt. of Bengal,. Central Dent., to D. P. I.

" I am directed to acknowledge tho receipt of your letter No. 14S8,dated 7th March 1888, applying for an additional grant, roughlyestimated at Us. 15,000, for the clerioal establishment of DeputyIuspeotors of Sohools, and for tho inspootion of primary sohools. It isexplained that the staff of Sub-Inspectors available for inspectingprimnry schools, under the supervision of District 13oards, has beenseriously diminished, without auy corresponding reduction in tho work,they have to do, by tho fact that at least ouo inspecting officer has beenretained in each district for the schools, comparatively few in number,which are still under tho direct control of Government. Thoso are theschools situated within tho limits of municipalities or cantonments, andthose on tho estates, tho property of Government. You obsorvo thatGovernment has handed over certain duties to District Boards, but has

• failed in the mnjority of districts to provide them with a sufficientagenoy for discharging these duties; and you propose to remedy thisby making over to the Boards tho Sub-Inspectors still under Govern-niont, appointing oiTioers of somewhat lower position to replace (lielatter, and also to do clerical work for the Deputy Inspectors.

" 2. In reply, I am direoted to say that the supervision of muni-cipal and k/uis viahal schools by Government, while all other schools are

-under tho control of District Boards, appears to be a vory inconvenientnrrnngemont. It involves the retention of a Sub-Inspector byGovernment in every district, though thore is soldom sullieieut workfor snob an olFioor, tho unduo curtailment of tho 6taff of Boards, nsystem of do'ublo inspoolion, two officers travelling over tho sameground, nnd a serious restriction on the system of payments byrosnlts. . Tho remedy suggestod is expensive, and is not freo fromobjection, as it contemplates the inspection of municipal schools byollioers of lower standing than thoso at present employed.

" 3 . On the whole, thoLimitrmnnt-Governor is decidedly of opinionthat if, ia ' dosirnbl*) to rnako over to the District Boards, oi, whure

i/0) in distributing tho primaiy grauts, District Boards borequired to take into consideration tho nmounts receivedby giinm from the ono per criit, grant, or from 11J'•contribution of zamindniB.

"2 . In reply, I am to say that the money contributed by Govern-ment, in its capacity ns zamindar, for the promotion of primaryeducation in khitt malmh, should be devoird exclusively to that purpose,and should not, be utilized in tho manner in which it has boen atMidnn.pore. I nm to request that the irregularity committed there rimybo .''lopped. As rrgardfi tho fact that certain District Boards, whenat-'certaining tho amount to be paid as rowaids, take into account, in thocase of khns mahal schools, the sum paid to the gurus of such schoolsfrom tho ono per cent, grant, I am to re-aflirm the orders issued in 188Sthat the Government contribution for their assistance should bo in addi-tion to what they may be entitled to receive on iho system of payment

• by results from tho General District Fund, and should riot involve theirexclusion from the usual system of management. It is understood thatthe assistance given to primary schools by private zamindars does uotaffect the amount of the reward assignable to them by District Boards,and it would not be equitable tbiit a different treutmeut should boaccorded to primary schools in Government estates.

" 3 . Having "regard to tho circumstance* sfuted, the Lieutenant-Governor has como to the conclusion that the District Boards m> nlionedin your letter are not ontitled to any asHBtaneo from Government toooropeusato thorn for the aid (hey would ho required to give to the

' primary schools in Government states, owing to thoir having lost sightof the Government Orders of 188h, and that the proper course would hato enforce those orders with ofEi ct from the 1st April 1901. A year'srespite is given to avoid sudden inconvenience to District Boards, andto ouablo them to .make, in the interval, such re-arrangemoiits as theyiuay consider necessary. .

' (c) CIRCLE SCHOOLS.

1. The circle school system prevails in a few districts only. It wasdevised with tho object of increasing tho numbor of middlo class schoolsat a small cost. A locality, having two or Ihroo promising upper primaryBchools situated within threo or four miles of each other, is selectedus n "Circle," 'and over theso throe schools an itinerant teacher,called a " Circle Pandit," is appointed. It is his duty to travel fromone- to the other, generally upending two days a week at each, and toimprove them into middle schools. It is not uncommon for the boysof thn first olas? to niovo about with tho circle pandit.

2. By tliia system throe secondary schools take the place of throepriiiunio . nn'l tho extni cost i? thul of a single paudit such as isgenerally put in charge of a singl" school.

It has also boou suggested that in ltajshahi, Bugra and otherdistricts of tho Bajshahi .Divinion, where their number is Bmall, Santalsand other nborigmal pupils should bo taught in Bengali.

Tho clerk is also responsible for the library catalogue, and for <heproper arrangemont of the books, under the head-master's supervisionand direction. •

21 . Leave to teaohers in aidod schools, drawing more than l?s. 20a month, may bo granted, subjeot. Q> confirmation by the Inspector.

22. Surplus balances at the credit, of grant-in-aid schools, whenthey reach a sum of Rs. 20 and upwards, must iuvuriably bo depositedin the Savings Bunk, unless tho Inspector decides iu the caso of parti-cular schools, that this eourso is unnecessary or would be attended with .inconvenience or loss.

23. 'lho accounts of aidod schools must bo full, and must showall receipts and disbursementB. It in strictly forbiddun for such schoolsto keep a "private account,''and when it is discovered that this prac-tice- prevails, the tchool ia liable to forfeiture of graut.

i><). h.cal Holidays —

(I) Tt appears that some misconception exists in many quartersregarding tJio scope and application.of IV.ngal Govcrnmeut •Finani'ial1 lopiu'Lnu'iitj Cuculur No. 8Mis., dated tho Ulst March 1901!, yanctivn-iny coitiiiii extra local holidays for each district in Bengal. Some'1 iisp'.Mitiird of .Schools seoin to he in doubt whether zilla echouln shotddor should, not j^ot the benefit pf that circular.

\l2) The extra holidays snnctionod by Govomment are evidentlyiijcnnt for Government officers who enjoy'gazetted holidays only. Butzilla schools have a certain totsd number, of holidays sanctioned forthem every year, and, as that total is largo, enough to meet (ill therequirements of such schools, the head-master of each zilla school shouldin the •beginning of every year prepare a list of holidays, including init goKotted hiilidnye, summer holidays and all important local holiday*,the total of ad those not exceeding 65, and get the list approved by theInspector of Schools. I t is believed that lists of holidays are alreadyporpared by Head-masters and sanctioned by Inspector of Schools every ~year in the caso of all zilla schools; but, in approving such li-ts,Inspectors of Schools should eeo that tlin local holidays specified in theschedule annexed to tho Government circular reforred to above me notover and above the 65 day* fixed for zilla schools, but are included inthem.

(3)-The!above observations apply also to Colleges and CollegiateSchools.

the email reforms which nre within their means and opportunitieswould bo moro likely to produoe substantial results tlian specialinstruction in particular agricultural processes." It followed theroforothat (ho oduoational question wbioh was given to euoh Province toanswer was not merely how to adapt education to the trainins o{agriculturists, but how the plan of instruction should be so fashioned asto promote in the pupils the power of assimilating easily any kind oftechnical instruction.

2. This phase of tho question was discussed at the mooting of theBongal Provincial Conference bold on the 6th of January 18015, andit was suggostod that the oourse of sciouoo in primary and middleschools should be roconsiderod and so graduated as to include atdifferent Btnges branches of the olcnionls of agriculture, care being takento exclude words or ideas of which the pupils could havG no umler-otandiug. Effect was to bo given to this resolution by arranging forthe introduction of a oompulsory course of Elementary Science,illustrated as far as practicable by object-lessons, and the Director ofPublic Instruction was asked to roport how he proposed to give efl'outto these suggestions. This bo did in August 1897, and in March 1898n stimulus to the ostublishmont of agricultural- education wns given bythe opening of the agricultural classes at tho Sibpur EngineeringCollege. This was, however, only a scheme for a '• Higher Agricul-tural Education" and still loft out of account tho objects of the originalBoheme, the pupils of the vernacular schools ; and in August 1S98 theLieutenant-Governor called for proposals of a wider nature aimed at

3. Tho Committee submitted n rareful and thorough report inApril 1899. Tho full text of it wns published in July 1899. TheCommittoo came to the conclusion that the aims of the Govern-ment could only bo fulfilled by the introduction of the methodsoriginally put forward by Froebel and now known under tho name ofKindorgnrton traiuing. Under that system children are trained andnot taught in the ordinary acceptation of the word. They aro sotrained as to do nnd learn things of themselves. They are oncouracredto feel that each one possesses a certain amount of innate intelligenceBud initiative, the gradual development of which depends on thochild himself and his personal activity. They are led to see that eyes,ears and hands all help in the acquiring of knowledge, and thfsoVrethe channels through whioh under that system all first knowledgo isacquired. Closely allied with the methods of Kindergarten touchingis th« so-railed objoot-leBson teaching; and it wns 'lie opinion of tlm

I'triiiit-it' ir indication.

European schools, wera beyond themenus of Indian KHIIODIS. -They nssorted, however, that a form ofKindergarten endd he ilovihcd for India, which would he suitable tolho circumstances and local conditions of tho pupils, and which wouldyet entail litllo or no (wpemlituro. Tlicy advised that tho prinoiplesthoj' recomnii ud'-d rhould bo worked out on more or less new lines with(bo use of objects already to IJO found in almost every primary school.'J'hcy prnposi-d tint, the (hvt yens of a chiUV'fi life, from about 5 to 7,should lie devoted almost entirely to training tho senses and powers ofobservation, ' l inn should begin the strengthening and development of(lie memory and reasoning powors. They were oi opinion that object-lessons should bo a prominent purl of (ho tenching of all classes up to andinoluding the lower primary stage, and that the viirious subjects tnughtup to I ho upper primary stage should be treated as fur as possible as object-lessons. Guided by those views, tho Committee preparod a syllabus,which is given in detail iu the annexed report. Briefly, it was proposedthat free-hand drawing and drill should run through the whole course.Manual triiining for boys should begin in the A class of the lowerprimary, while needlework for girls should begin in class B of thejiwe.r primary. A. simple reading nnurso was arranged a? follows:—.('"or boys in town schools?, somo oloment-nry notions of the simplest factsnnd principles of Botany, Natural- History, Uygieno, Physical Science,and (Jheinistry; for hoj'S in counti-y schnols, a similar course, ODly with.Agrieiilturo .substituted for Physical Science and Chemistry; for girlsin both town nnd country, a similar course of Botany, Natural Hiatorf,nnd Domestic Economy only; tho renders wore to bo written in thomost simple anil comprehensible language, and to bo illustrated andiwpliiined ns fur :IH possible bv means of object-lo;->sons.

themselves to tho altered requirements, and they recommended thattheir new system should be introduced throughout the Province, andnot by any pattial or local method.

5. Tho changes rocomtnerided by this Committee were of the most•yltn 1 importance to tho interests of education in Bengal. Tho Lieu-ten.'mt-Uovnrnor thovofore published thoir report lor general informationand invited uny who might desire to do so to submit criticisms on theproposals. Tho call was widely responded to. Numerous represent-ations from public bodies were received by Government, aod thenowspapors commented at length on the Committee's scheme. Thecriticisms on tho whole were not by any means unfavourable ThosefHat. disparaged tho schemo were vory ofton based on a misconceptionof: tl 10 proposals. Thus, for instanco, it was distinctly laid down inthe original syllabus that arithmetic was to be taught as at present, andthnt both European and Nativo systoms were to bo included. Much,however, of tho adverse criticism was based on tho supposition thatinstruction in zomindari and mahajani accounts was to bo abolished.

. Another mistaken conception pn which some of tho criticismsweru based wns that the proposed scheme was meant to give scientificand technical education of a character suited to the agricultural classesonly. But tho Committee expressly declared their intention to giveinto the hands of pupils lesson-books on subjects with which they haveto do ovory day of their lives, instead of on matters altogether i'oreign totheir experience, and thus to help in cultivating- their faculties ofobservation and making their education more real than it is at present.

A third objeotion was based on the contention that tho proposedschomo aimed at teaching too many Mibjoots, whereas in effect thesubjects intended to be taught ore Reading, Writing, and- Arithmeticas before, with drill and drawing added, the burden on students beingsensibly reduced chiefly as regards the quantity of book work.

This proposed reduction has lod very many of the critics to assumethat the scheme will discourage the growth of the vernacular literature,and they insisted again and og;\iu on the importance of literature,on the value of it in helping tho development of the emotions,and the neglect of it in tho proposed scheme. Indeed, it wassaid that this neglect would affect tlio prospects of Bengali literature.The obvious reply to remarks of this nature is that a literaturecannot bo callod into existence by the prospects of books being selectedfor primary examinations; nor can vernacular literary work of (hehighest merit be prescribed for elemontary sohools since the childrenwould bo unable to understand them.

6. The former Committee was reconstituted to consider thesoreviews and representations, and they altogether HeJd 15 meetings sincethe 3rd of January 1000. Tho results arrived at by the Director of1'ublic Instruction and tho Committee with regard to the originalproposals as viewed in the light of tho criticisms given, will bo foundin the Director of Public Instruction's report No. 3126, dated 8th May1900.

Tlinv admiltcd (ho danger of accentuating the already existingtimdency on (ho piivt of parouts iv ;<ond their children to high schoolsor other English schools at tho very commencement of their school life,nnd recommended, in supplement of their original proposals, certainmeasures to chock this tendency and to give that prominence tovernacular education whioli ought to obtain in the early training ofIndinn bey.1?. They also recommended that a certain elasticity shouldbo allowed al. first in tho manner of teaching the proposed course.

^. The Coinmitteo wero not, however, disposed to modify the viewiathey hnd expreescd with reganl to, f ho principles on which (he syBt&mof vernacular education should bo based. They declined to abandontho principles of tho Kindergarten sj'stcm. I t vena, they said, nownnivcrsnlly rocogiiipud aa.lhs best for infant education, and as touching\v object-lessons is only an extension of the same system, the wholesrhnnio (liey had reoommonded for tho vernacular school was rea lybnsed on it.

dotailod statement and explanation of them, and he desired tlieDirector to answer tho following questions:—

(1) How far the Committee's proposals varied from the system whichwas tried in tho Central Provinces, and to a certain r-xieutsubsequently abandoned; what reasons there were for antici-pating a different result for the proposed plan in Bengal andhow far the proposals received support from any.esperieuce inother Provinces.

(2) Whether the new system should bo introduced simultane-ously into (a) all pri-nmry and middle schools oror thewholo Province, or (b) into sclented aroai, or (c) into selectedschools.

(3) Whether tho now syllabus should be introduced into the lowerclasses of high schools which correspond to tho correspondingclasses of middle-and primary schools..

10. On the first question, tho Direotor of Public Instruction ba3furnished an explanation in his letter No. 222.Tr., dated 17th -OctoberJ.900, whioh forms an annexure to this Resolution. Ho has explainedthat in the Central Provinces the Kindergarten system has been giveuup only in rural schools, and in thorn mainly for two reasons: first,because it has been decided to have in oouutry schools a half-a-daysystem, instead of the wholo-day course, and, second, because theoxponse was found to bo intolerable of the stereotyped and costlyEuropean "Froebol's Gifts." The fact that these gifts are quitaforeign to an Indian child's experienco and that the pupil ordinarilyooultt not handle the gifts, and eo actually engage in tho object-lessonrendered success in this particular experiment in Kindergarton a ^reatdifficulty, and almost invif.od its failure. The Central Provinoes systoaimust bo modified in tho future if it. is to become a success, and mustho made to suit Indian pupils and Indian ciroumstancos, aud also bemade of suoh a kind that ils cost enables every pupil to take part iatho exercise. It is opon to very gravo doubt, he paid, whether, thegifts of coloured worsted balls, wooden cubes, Ao., which may and doapponl to European children, will appeal equally to Indian children, audlienco when the Committee considered the question of tho introduction ofKindergarten, they very rightly discarded Froebel's Gifts altogether;and while accepting Froebol's principles, they attempted to work out theapplication of his prinoiplos by tho use of purely indigenous materials ;and of suoh a kind that every child can provide its own gifts toillustrate the principles of teaching. Honco £ho withdrawal of thoKindergarten system from the rural schools in the Central Province*cannot, in the Director's opinion, be taken to represent at all a itiiluruof Kindergarten principles in Indian sohools, but it Teullvonly tho want of SUP.CCH.S of a particular (and for Indiu, ai'oriii oF Iho application of tl'O principles.

primary and miildlo school-teachers in Uengnl, numbering some 50,000lit tho least, uoino of whom («>., those who are in charge of goodschools) nre fairly intelligent and ablo, while others aro of a 'veryinferior'typo, such as the gurus who start the so-called season patliwlas..Tho task of trniuing such an euormons number of .teachers would l:ecolossal, and it is feared that tbo difficulties which might arise in thismatter would militate against the success of (he schomcj and mightgivo rise to doubts as to (ho soundness of the scheme itself.

In the cn.'iO of (ho second plan, limiting the introduction of thosohemo to a sclented area, the difficulties to bo met aro of a preciselysimilar nature to thoso just described, though smullnr in amount. Thomain difficulty in this case would be to tenon tho inferior type of puma'in their now work within the time which it has been proposed tointroduce the scheme. Another difficulty would be that of selectiouof the areas for experiment, and n further slight difficulty mightbo found in cases where boys migrated from a school in a selectedarea to another in which tho old courseof instruction wa3 stillmaintained.

In the caso of the third course, the proposal would be to limittho compulsory introduction of the new scheme to those schoolswhere boys are being actually sent up for competition for scholarshipsof tho middle, upper primary, and lower primary stagos, in whichclasses of Bchools the gurus, are generally experienced and trained men,and to leave tho gurus in schools of a lower typo, such as seasonjhithsa/os, either to continue to teach as now the oil system ofinstruction, or to attempt the now, should they wish to do EO, or feelthey wore competent to undertake it. The number of primary schools,upper and lower, is 47,71'1 ; of these, not moro than 16,4-14, oxactlyone-third of the wholo, compete for scholarships.

The Lieutenant-Grovernor has no doubt that the lnst is thesoundest course In recently rocomvueuding tho introduction ofreforms of a very similar character into Ireland, the Irish Commis-eioners were unanimous in considering that the proposed changes•' ought to be introduced, not all atouee, but gradually and tentatively,"beginning with tho larger contros. And they basod their eonolusiou onthe fact that time would be required to organize the training of toaohers,of whom those selected for initial instruction would be aided atthe outset by the couusel and instruction of oxpert instructors. TheLieutenant-Governor is of opinion that these considerations have equal,if not greater, weight in Bengal. It may bo hoped that tho inducementhold out under this third course to tho most competeut of the gurus toadopt the new system will succood in providing the best schools withmasters willing to learn and more or less ablo to becomn themselvesefficient teachers under tho guidance and instructions of experts. Andprogress will be facilitated not only by tho initial restrict ion of thonumbers to bo trained, but ulso by the circuuistaiu'o that thaso Y.-hn willcome under first instruction will bo the host of tlnnr class. Tho DinMorhas now finally arrived at the samo conclusion, and tho 1 auntiiiunt-Governor accepting, as he hns, the principle of tho proposal, decides thatthey shall bo carried out by this method.

12. ' "U'ilh ivfijriMiufi lo tho third point, it, apponrs that till within(ho last Few ji.'firs tho lowor clauses -of high English schools wereconducted on a vernacular basis, ami aro now conducted on what iacalled tho JinL'.lish busis. This) means that even in the lowest classesof such schools .1'nplish is alnm*t exclusively used as the raedium ofijislruclion for the subjects that aro taught in them. In plainer wordsn child is (aught (lie rudinionts. of geography aiid history, through.English .Bent CHOPS and English explanations before ho has masteredJ'jnglish sontenees for himself. I t is not surprising tha t ' this Rystoinhas boon found to be perfectly disastrous to the sound instruction oftho pupils in tho English which their parents want them to acquire.The excueo for it lay in tho belief that a child could not begin Englishtoo young, if ho was to be proficient in the language, and thatit is a wasto of time lo teach him rudiments in his vernacular andtho higher t;tnge in English. Tho experience of even a few jrears hasihown this belief to ! be entirely false. The child gets his instruotiou.from a master of tho lowest clusn ; his instruction is a matter of rotound not of intelligonce; and his English is of a typo from which itlmvor rooovers. This most iiernieiouB plan was begun in privateHfhools; it hns extenilcd to tho Government high B«hocOs and aidedsclioola, appnrenlly from tho fear (hut, they would lose pupils if theydid not follow suit. No proper investigation of the merits of the twoBj'fitomH appears to lvavo preceded the• nhango of basis, and cortaiuly noformal ^unction from, tho Government, has over been given to thesystem of tvaohing children in a foreign language from practicallylluv curliest utagofi of thoir inslrudion. The teaching in the lowestchides of high schools through (lio medium of English was formallyoniai'li.'red nhd formally oondomncd at a conference of the Inspootorsof. iiebools which sat early (his year, and by which a return to thofonin-r voniaenlar basis of iscfrrnrtion in the lower olassos of suclileiiool-i wii? fidvnnntnd.

training in their own vornaoular canuot but bo wrong. Where ins-truction is given from the very couimenenmont of n, child's attendanceat school in a foroign language, tho result could only b9 what it hasproved to bo—that the pupil loams merely by rote without in mostcases obtaining any intelligent grasp of the meaning of what he isbeing taught; and if education, ia to bo on a sound basis, we mastTovert without dolay to tho system from which we have so rapidly nndalmost unconsciously departed. In all Government high schools thomedium of instruction in the lowest classes will boreaftcr bo in thevprnuculur, and this v/jll bo a condition of aid to tho aided schools.Ovor private schools the Government has no control, but the Lioute-nant-Cfovornor hopes that thoy will, in loyalty to thoir own vernacular,follow tho example that has been sot to thorn, and as an encouragementto that nnd, ho directs that students in the lower classes of high andnriddlo sohools corresponding in educational standard to similar classesin middle and primary schools shall be allowed to compote for nriddloand upper primary scholarships on the same terms as students in middlefind upper primary schools. There is at present no examination forsuch scholarships in the lower olassos of those schools, and he hoposthat this now privilege will form an effective incentive to the.adoptionof a system which appeals alike to experience and patriotism. Tho sub-stitution of vernacular for English text-books in the first three lowestclasses is probably the first 6top necessary to the reversion to the oldsystem.

13. Having decided what should be done, the next and far morodiffioult step is to settle the manner in which eflept is to bo given tothese conclusions. Obviously, the very first mutter to be taken inhand is tho preparation of manuals for the guidance and use of thetoaohers in the now system and of roaders for tho children; the secondis the training of the teachers. Details as to tho methods to befolloAvod with reference to (ho'proparation and supply of the lequisiteprimers and Teacher's Manuals will be published presently, but it isto bo clearly understood that one of the essential principles to befollowed is that the objects required to illustrate tho couiso of instruc-tion must bo such as can, bo obtained locally and at practically n,nominal cost. The Lieutonunt-Governor is compelled to anticipatethat the compilation of thoso manuals and primers with tho caro audclearness that it is necessary will occupy .tho bettor part of a jrear. Inthe meantime, tho Kurscong Training Sohool (whioli will commoncowork in February and for which a Principal of spooial experience hasalready arrived from England) will be utilized in tho careful instructionin tho Bystein of tho masters of tho nine otli9r training schools of tiioProvince

As soon as tho teachers' manuals hove boon prepared, a copy willin tlio first place bo supplied to each momber of (ho inspecting staff(Inspectors, Deputy Inepcotors, iSub-Inspectors, Inspecting ]'ainlils,aud UireV Pandits), aw well at to evrv vevuMouiiir t.C'vlvr, o!'

tlinfc in porno cns;os literary studies had been positively improvod by thointroduction of tho now system—a result accounted for paitly by thoin.crpp.Fcd intelligence of tho children, partly by tlie constant changeand variety of their occupation, ond partly by thoir incnasod intercutin tlieir work." It is true that tho reformed methods will have thoeffect <>l! giving to those boys who intend either to follow practicalprofessions, sucli as thop.o of Mcdicino nud Engineering, or to take upas tho occupation of their life nny of tho various trades and handicraft aof the fi'iiin.try, a far better preparation than tho narrower systemhitherto in 1'oreo. Ho far this is an immenso gain. For, as tho Irish

1 CounnisMonors pointed out,' tho present system of primary educationis so one-sided in its character that it leaves the pupils quite unpreparedfor technical education.' But, to quote their concluding words, "theBystora of education modified as we propoEO" (and it may be notedthat theeo proposals coincide in principle entirely with thoso embodiedin tho present scheme) "would givo an all-round training to thofaculties of tho children, and would thus hi}' a solid foundation for anysystem of higher education, literary, scientific or technical, which mightafterwards be found suitable to their talents aud circumstances." Thewidth of the Commission's enquiries gives a special weight to theirfindings, nud the Lieutenant-Govornor believes that tho results of thesystem will not be difforent in Bengal from thoso which have followtdit elsewhere. .

over the surface of tho ground into tanks^ streams, and rivers:it partly sinks into tlie ground to pass into wells and tore-appear in the form of springs, etc., at a lower level, andit partly passes again into the air in the form of vapour.

Tho aotiou of heavy rain in cutting channels in theearth or soil and in carrying away particles of light material,such as straw and wood, and of soil or earth, or even 6lones,into tho nearest stream, and then into a larger stream orriver, should he carefully watched hy the pupils.

The pupils should study tho nature- of tho nearest streamof water, determining1 in what part of the stream tlie currentis most rapid, etc., and ugcortaining how it carries away soiland even snanll stones, and how it cuts away its hanks, etc.

The turbid water produced hy a rapid .stream shouldhe placed in u glass tumbler, and the deposit of silt or soilfound at tho bottom on standing should bo observod.Attention should be drawn to the faot that iu this way newearth Or soil lias been formed in Bengal.

Tho pupils should be required to decide simplo questions,such ns—Is tho ground on which the school stands level orsloping? Is tho ground in tho neighbourhood of tho school,village or town level or sloping, tho nature of tho land beingascertained by watching the flow of water after rain (i.e.,by tho drainage) ? I t should be noted that tho greater theelopo of tho land, tho moro rapid will bo tho flow of water.Tho action of rain and running water in modifying thoeurfaco of tho land must bo fully oxplainod.

Tho differences in tho erosion of laud by running waterwhen (a) the land surface) is bare, and (b) when the imid iscovered with grass or vegetation or by forests, must beexplained.

1. The quosiion of a•curriculum of Btudies smcod to tho needs-jmd cnpaiili.es oL the children of agriculturist!* has for a considerabletiuio been uvereising the iittcntiou of both the Imperial and LocalGovernments. Tho Educfitioiuil Clonforonco hold at Simla in Septem-ber li'Oi loi.'oniiuouded (lie ado]>tion of a simple and practioal coursaof. cdueafion for iho children of tho agricultural population, whosestudies, would no( proceod boyoniT M;o primary stago ; and the Govern-ment of Indin, in their loiter JNo. 'JG8, dated thci"Gtli November 1901,expressed il :w their opinion that in nil Provinces arrangements fihoultlhi) m;ido lo oslnbtish shorttu* ami uimplor ooiiraos for the children ofu»rii.:ulturifift> Ilian aro required 'for thoso who intend to use the primarystages of education as a preliminary only. The question of remodel-ling tho lines nu which vernacular education should be conductedengaged tho attention of this Government during tho years 1899 toIS'01. Tho chief problem lo bo Bolvod concerned the requirements ofthe iu;ii':nHurul. population, hut it was recognised that tho educationalquestim to be answered waf not. merely how to adapt education to thonef'd"' (1f tin; children of ngi-i^uU.urists, but how to fashion a scheme 'oJ' uiluijaliiin v. iiieh would •pruinoli in tho pupils the power of assijui-loting n.iKily tt'chnienl instrif-tion of any kind.

January 1901, which promulgated tho syllabus of studies for Standards'1 to VI, which is still iu force. It was stated that the syllabusreferred to-was based on tho methods originally put forward byrioebel and generally known undor tho name of Kindergarten train-ing, and that that system had them adapted to tho oiroumstanres 'midlocal conditions of tho pupils of this Province A separate svllnbuswiwnot prescribed lor tho children of agriculturists; but "iu thewiling coin-Ko forms of simple documents commonly used by oultivii-tors weio introduced us exercises.

2. The Government of India rovertod to tho subject of educationin rural primary schools in tlioir lie-solution of tho 11th March l'JOlwhich reviewed the history and progress of education in India Theyebiled, ia parngraph '21 of tho Hosolution, that tho instruction of themasses in KUCII wtbjuctti as would best fit thorn for tlieir position in lifeinvolved eomo differentiation in tho courses for rural sohooh, especiallyin connexion with tho attempts which wero being rmido to connectprimary teaching with familiar objects. They further laid down thattho aim of rural schools should bo, not to impart definite agriculturalteaching, but to give to the children a preliminary training whichwould mako thorn intelligent cultivators, would train them0 to beobservers, thinkers and experimenters in however humble a mannerand would protect them in (heir business transactions with the land-lords to whom they pay rent and tho grain-doalera to whom theydispose of their crops. • .

3. Thece remarks of the Government of India led the Lieutenant.Governor to refer the whole question of the education of. children ofagriculturists to a Committee of Government officers. This Committeefound that the principal points in respoet oc which tho rural schoolsof the Provinces were deficient, wero—•

(«) that tho courses of instruction were too long, too advancedand too diversified; and

(b) that tho text-books proscribed wero not written in simplelanguage whioh tho rural population could understand.

The Committee were of opinion that in purely agricultural tractsthe existing lower primary schools should be converted into schoolsintended primarily for the sons of agriculturists, with short courses ofinstruction specially suited to tho needs of that class. It wns notproposed that any change should bo made in the instruction given inthe lower classes of upper primary, middle and high schools, or in lowerprimary schools m towns or in villages in which agriculturists did notpreJominato. The Committee recommended that tho rural prinmryschools which they proposed to create should toach a oourse extendingover four years, and contain an infant class for children under sevenyears of ago and three classes abovo it. Tho number of hours ol'instruction was to bo reduced, lint was not to bo loss thnn three TJIQCommittee further suggested tho linos on which the curriculum for'(hefour classes proposed might proceed, and recommended that u Com •irntteo of duly qualified officers should bo formed to prepare modeltextrbookg, It was proposed that tho text-books ehuuld in tho first

All tho material collected wastlvjn tlisciif sod by ii Commit too 'of'of Hoi n! a and others "interested in.education. This Committee did not altogether ngrec with the proposalsnim.lo h>- I ho provions Committee. What t hoy proposed was that theloner primmy course, slightly modified, Bhould bn dividod into twoEontions—Ui«.< one to consist mainly of tho "threo R ' s " and tbo teach-ing fit simple, facts relating to ngricultrire and villngo lif'o, and theother lo bo directed to tho study of such additional matters as thetraining of tho POUROS, drawing, drill and manual exercises. The firstKL'cliou, it wns proposed, should bo no anunged as to provide for impart-ing Iho nrUnifMits of souud cduoatiou to all, inoludiug the ohildren ofafricultvirists. vhilo tho other would bo taken up by those whonapinid to a higher education. rJ.'lio second section was in fact to bosupplcinenfiirv to tho first, and was intondcl to bring the curriculumof a rund school taken both sections up to the standard of an urbanprim my Bchool. Tho subjects of the first section wove to be taught intho morning, and tlioso of the socontl or supplementary section in theevenin"- or vice reran, as ciiomustances might dictate. No change wasproposed in regard to tho existing course of studies in the lower classesof upper primary, middlo and high sohools, or in lower primarypoliools in urban areas. As to the preparation of test-books, thisCommittee mjootcd tho proposal of the former Oommittoe that thebooks should first be prepared in English and then translated into thevernaculars, und roooinmondod tbaf representative Committees Bhould beappointed to prepare text-bonk? in tho vernaculars according to apyllabuR, which was to be worked out by a Committee with-widereducational experience. A. Special Committee was accordinglyunpointed to draw up tbo svllahu; of etndiosior rural primary schools.

!j. Tbii Special Uominitlou, which consisted outiroly of personsactually on"-.igod in work oonnfi.;tfid wifh education, found themselvesciillod upoiM.o'proparo a detailed syllabus on lines which did not appearto them to be nltogotbor sound. Tlroy could not, for example, admitthat' a pouomo of instruction, which was intended for the children ofngrioultumt.n, but which relegntod tho training of the senses to a anp-plemontnvy cutrioulum from which such children would bo for the mostpart excluded, could bo regarded as anything but rotrograde. Theywere also :Uongly of opinion that, tho defects roforrcd to at tho begin-ning of paragraph 3 above, which had been found in tho courses ofinstruction followed at, and in tho .text-books used in, rural schools,oxistud. equally in Iho caso of urban schools. In short, the CommitteeCult strongly '.hat tho existing curriculum for tho lower primary stand-anln was'' not stitislactory for -schools of any class.

essentials equally adapted to urban ond rural areas. Keeping in mindthe mnxim of tho Government of India that the aim of rural ?ohoobshould be not to impart definife agricultural teaching, bat to give tothe children a preliminary truiniug whinh would make them intelli-gent oultivntore, and would train them to be observers, thinkers audexperimenters in however humble a manner, they did not see how itoould ovfiii bo hoped that this would bo obtained as the result of asyllabus, which, confined itself mainly to the "<breo RV' . Nor c«uldthey admit thai, a syllabus in which "nature study," by which is meantthe actual nmdy of natural objeots, did not find a prominent plnoe,could bo regarded us a serious attoni|t to renliso the aim of ruralEolioob us the (iovernmont of India had defined it. In the opinion ofthe Committee tho syllabus of 1901 had failed, booauso it bad allowedreading about objects to bo substituted for the study of tho objeotsthemselves, and had ignored the fact that tho faoulty of observation isnot developed by muling siieutifie treatises. I t seemed to the Commit-too that tho cultivation of the power of intelligent and nocuruto obser-vation was, if possible, more important in the caso of the cultivatingclasses than in that of any other section of tho community ; and itappeared to them that the teaching of simple facts connected with ngri-oulture could not be considered, as of much educational value, unless,it was basad on an attempt to teaeli the children to observe, compaiaand contrast the objects which -surround them. The principles whichuudorlio the development of a child's faculties are the same in theoountry as in the town ; it is the application of t.ieso jumciplus whichvaries with tho environment.

6. As a result of these considerations, the Special f-omtnittee drewup a syllabus of studies for infant olasses and standards 1 ani II,designed to embody educational principles applioabln to both rural andurban soh::ols, and to indicate- the methods by which those principlescan bo oarriod into effect. As n proludo to the syllilmsan introductionis given, w:>ioh is intended to illustrate lhn fiinclion whicli a soiiool h ato poriorm in rotation to the larger life of tho community in gouoral andto emphasise tho ethical aspect of. all true education. Science primershave been abolished, and tlio basic p:iuciple of all nature study, viz,thut ohildrou must bo taken to the objects of naturo and rnado to l*arutherefrom, has been insisted upon. Tho value to tho future cultivatorof studying plant-lifo on these linos has boon emphasised, and anextract from a Note on Sohool Garden* recorded by .Mr. F. (J. Sly,when olliciatin^ as Inspector-General of Agriculture in In'lia, has beenopponded to tho nyllabus in order to emphasize the conditions underwhich alono a sohool garden can bo made of Iruo eduoationul value.Finally, provision bas been ma.de for the teaching of supplementarysubjects. Tho syllabus thus drawn up was subraiti.ed for opinion to thogentlemen who constituted tho OonuniAtoe referred to fit the beginningof paragraph 4 above. The opinions which t!io6O gentlemen rc-oordei,which were genorally favourable, wera'considered by tlio Sjiecial Coiu-mitieo, with the rosult that a few minor alterations havo c-inoo beenmado in the 6yllubus.

Boys' Sojioulj,

Ho should ninkn tho picture a lifo-ltke anil instructive exhibition ofoharnotor, and of the ellect on the individual and on those around him,for good or ovil, of tlio aots recorded.

A similar appeal odn bo made to the imagination of children by theufio of music in wpll-ohoson songs or of appropriate passages from thebest Htomfure of tlicir mothor-torjguo.

Above til, sohool-lifo must prevent children from forming Lad hnbits,snd this it oan only do by training them in good habits and, if possible,in good oonduot, by which in meant something wider than the uieracheerful observance of school regulations. Iu the matter of this moraltraining the most important fuotor will bo the habitual oonduot of theteaehur iu the eohool. If he is thorough, patient, kind but firm, andeorupulously fair, those traits will ovoko birnilar traits in his pupils, audwill give point and force to any moral instruction ho may attempt. Atoaohcr who is obviously slipshod and lazy discoursing to children abouttho value of industry and thoroughness is nn absurdity which cannotbut prove morally disintegrating to a child. Stories iu roadeisdosignod to inculcate morals tend, if silly as they frequently are, tomake moral instruction ridiculous. Even if they are good, thsy are oflittle value, unless they are backed by personal example.

Tho ovory-day incidents of school-life will enable the teaohers toimpress upon the children the importance of punctuality, of goodmilliners, of cleanliness and neatness, of cheerful obedience to duty, ofconsideration and respoot for others and of honour and truthfulness inword and aot. Children will notice such details iu the conduct of uteaoher as punctuality, order, neatness, and gentleness, and they willimitate what thoy see aud hear. They an1 quick to observe; and if theteaoher's conduct is iu these respects defective; his example must almostcertainly have a disastrous eifool; on tho habits of the pupils. Thus thepunctual and molhodicul performance of duties, even iu matters oftrivial routino, will impress upou tho ohildron hotter than any lesion,'the importance of orderliness, and the good habits of the toucher willbe even moro powerful than his express requirements in shaping hUpupila for the proper oonduot of life.

(a) Colour.—Children should IJO initiated into the appreciation ofcolour by being givon objeots, pieces of wool, flowers, coloured slips ofwood or paper which represent the oolours red, yellow, green and blue.Tho ohildreu should b.o made to gi'oup these objeota uudor the variouscolours.

\b) Form.—The ohildren should be taught to draw on a lnrgo 6oalesuoh natural objects as aro simple in shape. This work should bo donewith chalk on blackboards.

(c) Number.—Children should bo initiated into the idea of numberby means of objects; whioh mu3t be »ivcn to (he children for them tohandle. What (ho objects nro is immaterial, eo long as they lire smalland easily handled, but it is easier to secure a child's notice co-operation,if he is not always givon the same kind of object. Tho ohildren shouldfirst, of all bo given a small number of objootfl, not more than 20, niidhaving learnt numeration so for, they should bo marlo to understand thenumbers 1—10, by making sets of each, diridiug them into their com-ponent parts, otc. Thorough familiarity with th^so numbers should beaimed at, rather than rapidity of progress. When these numbers havobeon graspod, tho number of cbjouts giron to the children may beincreased, and the process of grouping and analysis continued. In thisway the principles underlying the four simple rules of nrithmetio shouldgradually bo elucidated. Tho iufants of tho first-year class should botaught the principle of addition by being made to put together sets orgroups of numbers wbioh they have made. Thus, from the first,children can bo taught to add rather than to count by units. Thoinfants of this class should also be taught to construct multiplicationtables up to 5 x 10. No tablo should bo taught until it is constructed.Children should ba gradually taught to write numbers from 1 to 50in figures.

Heading and hand-writing.—The children in this class should betaught to recognize tho simplest sounds of their veinaoular language.This should bo done by putting bnforo them, not isolated loiters, butlot tors combined into short words. Words of two consonants shouldtlrat, of all be iiRi.'d. The ordor iu whioh theso sou.ud.-i aro taken isimportant, and oxpwionca bus phown that it is best to hegiu by oal'injj

ft, ho may auaume that they have not been actively following himand havo reonmso ngiiia to tho more conversational method. Similarlytho ecopo of tho leBsons designed to devolop tho power of nrourotoobservation mny bo extonded, and should aim at giving the childrendelinito information about fiomo of tho most familar natural objectsv.-ith which they ure daily surrounded. It must bo 'remembered,however, 1hut theso lo>sons will fail of thoir main object, if the infor-mation is simply told to the ohildron without their being made to riis-oovor it for themselves. Tho course of lessons must bo fiystomntio, onelesson loading up to tho next, and tho later lossons constantly requiringBnmo of the earlier lessons for thoir explanation. Tho object of oaohles>mj "hould bo tho discovery of some now fnct, but it is quite useless togiveohiklron.various items of information about a number of diaconneot-e(l natural objects. Tho study of plant-lifo is recommended 88 capableof boin<r systematically handlod easily and economically, and as it i* .. especially adapted to rural achoolB, it muet on no account be negleotedin them. • Tho teaoh.br should make an ospeoial study of at least onebrunoh of nature study. Technical terms shnll be, as far as possible,avoidod. Theso lessons should not always be given in the schoolbuilding. The children should be taken out by the teaoher andencouraged to colleot speoirnens, oto.

Second yflar.—In the second year of the Infant CIRSS the lessons on naturalobjocts should be continued, but sonic very elementary lessons on the most pro-minent natural pheiiomona should bo included. The children sliou.d, foresample, he made to observe tho varying position of the. sun at the variousseasons oE tlio year, and lioiv tlioso different positions are accompanied byvarying temperaturei. It will not bo possible in this class (o explain raRny ofthe phenomena observed ; but, if the children are made to see for themseUes,their observations can be made the bnsis nf further instruction. The children,ean, for diumplo, be mude to see ihe pnthpiing of the olmids durir.g Ihe rains ;and thus, though it may not bo possible lor thom «t this s.tnRe to understand themonsoon, thsj' will in this way acquire material from which observation* leadingto n proper undei standing of the monsoon mil start- These lessons shouldocntro rou:id the nensons of the y»r , hud should be, BS fir as possible, broughtinto lino with the lessons on plant-lifo. Thus a simple lesson on the rains mightwell lead to a lussun on the crops nhich ripen at that season, such as early ricaor jate.

Ohject-lesson8 on romrnan domestio objects may also be given bolh to thsfirst and to tho second-year infant classes.

(a) Colour.—Tho children should be taught by the method indicatedfor tho children of tho first year to reoogniza orange, indigo and violet,and to distinguish tho various colours one from the other.

(b) Form.—Tho drawing of natural objects on blackboards shouldbe continued. The children should also be taught to model in clay thenatural objects put bofore them for the observation lessons.

(<j) Number.—The ohildren should bo taught by moans of concreteobjects the prinoiplos underlying subtrnofion and division ; they shouldalso be made to construct the multiplication tables up to 10 x 10.

Provision should also boiuado in the Primer for acquaint*ing tho children with Homo of the rooro impressive stories of Englishand Indian History. The whole should bo written in an easy niirnitiveEtyle. A passages having been prepared beforehand and tho dillioultiea 'elucidated, tho actual reading lesson should be as little as possibleinterrupted by the tenohor, nnd all long disquisitions on pointsBUgyohtfid by tho fiubjoot-niattor should bo avoided. At tho end oftnoiy reading lnsgon tho ohildreu should bo questioned on tho subject-matter individually, aud should bo trained to givo individually and intheir own words an account of what has boon read.

Calculations and problemsijjvi'Iwiifr tho npplioation of tho four feimple rules, tho principles ofwhich v/iU have been learnt in the infant classes. These calculationsand probloms should bo worked both mentally and with the aid ofooncrcto objects. In the hitter part of the year work should be douercgulaily on paper, but the problems and calculations set should nottake tho ohildreu into numbers above 1,000.

11 and-tcriting ond spelling.—The teacher should write two or three*words on tho blackboard, and the children should oopy these on paper.The words copied should always be those which the children haverecently seen at their reading lessons. Spelling being almost entirelya matter of the oye, tho childron should never bo made to Jearn by rotulong columns of words, and no spoiling1 should be taught opart from thewords contained in the writing and reading lessons. When the firstdifficulties of hand-writing have beon mastered, ohildren should bomado to transcribe sentences from passages in the Primer whioh theyhavo reoontly gone through in class.

Droning and modelling.—The drawing of natural objocts with chalkon blackboards should be continued, aa »1KO the clay modelling. Thiswork should be kept in closo.connection with tho nature observationwork, tbo objects selected for drawing or modelling being invaraiblythose with whioh tho ohildren aro doaling in their observation lessons.Habits of observation are bettor cultivated by the thorough osaminafionof a few objects than by a less careful examination of mnnj' ; thereforeit is desirable that the children flhould be made to model tho objectswhich they havo been givon to draw, and vice vivsii.

OumpoHition.—The composition in this class should ho entirely oral,and should consist to a considerable extent of the reproduction by indi-vidual children in thoir own words of the subject-matter of the readiuglessons. Another method which may with advantage be employed isto givo tho class a short piece of narrative to road through to them-selves, and then to require individual children to givo tho gist of whathas been read. It should bo remembered, however, that the teachingof composition does not mean more than the training of children toexproPM wh»t is in thoir minds. "What is taught is not really assimila-ted, urfil it can bo reproduced. Thereforo the teach ing of compositionshould form a part of oyory lessou given in lhe.6cb.ool. It is advisable

Heading.—The reading lessons should be conlinnod on the lines laiddown for Standard 1. The stories containod in- the Primer for thisclass shonld be written in the same easy narrative style us that pre*scribed for Standard I , and equally in this as in the lower class shouldthe language used be such as is generally intelligible to all. The storiesshould he slightly more detailed and complex than those 'written forStandard I . In the case of rural schools the Primer should also containshort and simple dbsoript:ons of the ehiof _ crops, fruit*, oin.. of thedistrict, the conditions .under which they thrive, their value, use, etc.These lesbons should bo olosely connected with the nature observationlosBons, the observation lesson on a nvmgo, for oxaiuplo, being folljwedby a rending lossbn on the same subject. S'ories of tho more importtinfcevents of Indian and English history s'-ould be included in the I'liiuor.

Arithmetic.—Notation abovo 1,000. The children should continueto work, mrmtally, with tho aid of oonorote objects, and on piiporproblems and calculations involving the applioation of tho .four simplerules. They should alao 1)0 taught tho valuo of tho various coins ofthe ourrenoy, and the weights and measures which are in u e in villages.Tho&o"should not bo taiight mir-ely by roto.

Com'position.—Tho teaching of composition should be continued onthn panio lines and principles as are laid down for Standard 1..The children should also occasionally bo made to reproduce in writingwhat thoy have road or heard. As regards this, however, it must beremembered that tho difficulties inseparable from writing hamper achild's freedom of expression, and that, while- it is important thatthose difficulties should be removod, it is ossontial that they should uotbo allowed to obeok a child's natural oxpansiveness which should bythis time have been developed into a certain power of expression. Theeasiest mot hod of transition from oral to written composition is forthe tcaohcr to write on tho blackboard at the children's diotntion. Thiswill enable him to explain the division of a passage into sentences.When the passago is written on tho blackboard, tho children shouldbe made to transcribe it. Written-composition however should beonly an occasional exercise; oral composition must never be discon-tinued. Again, whilo noatness should bo insisted on, children shouldnot bo allowed to stop and rule lines, eto. Such practices are, notonly a waste of timo, but they divort a child's attention and so hamperbis power of expression. At those lrssons excessive attention shouldnot bo pnid to tho formation of letters, etc, for -this also tends todiversion. The main object of the lessons is, not the formation ofhand-writing, but the doYelopmont of the power of expression.

I'oelry.—Tho Primer should oortain pieces of simple but goodpoetry, and theso should bo lonrnt by heart by the children. Extremecare should be taken that no piece is included in the Primer which-has not at loast a strong claim to bo considered poetry. It has bi?eusaid " that learning by heart is valueless, unless in the procoss thememory is enriched with a store of beautiful thoughts, expressed inbeautiful language, whioh will serve as a. touchstone to the scholar'sown method of expression and be a constant source of pleasure tohim." When a pioce of poetry has been seleoted for the class to learnby heart, it should always first of nil be read aloud by tho childrenindividually. It should moreover always be learnt individually, ar.dnever dictated to the olasa and then repo.ifoi.l in unison. Such a device"in tho merest mechanical drill, and o*es-tioys nny vulue recitation mayhttvo. It is not in tho least necessary that all tho children in fJieclass should learn the same pnnsigos or the same amount of poetry.

in tho presort system of education, and henoo tho directions ia •whichftituro offorfs should be mado seom to bo tho following :—

(1) Tho continued dovelopmeut of eduontion required iu thevarious branches of engineering, &c, such as J\[oohaui«il,Civil, Kloofricnl, nnd Mining Engineering, and also iawhat may bo onllod tho building (rades.

(2) T.h'! development of education required /or tho promotionof (he various fonns oi industry., particularly mioh an aredejiondont on soioncr.s other than those which nro requiredin tho fcubjeots specified under (1).

(3) The education of thoso who will dovoto themsolves tocommerce as distinguished from tliosa who will applythemselves to manufacturing industries.

3. What appears to bo tho fnost desirable aim is that a commoncourse should bo dovised for the modern sections of tho first and secondclasses of zilla sohools whioh all students would join who intend tofollow (he prootical pursuits indicated above, and that at the end ofthis oourse they should be allowed to specialise, acoording as theirchoice may docide, whether it bo for an engineering or for a comnlor-oial-lifo. The following statement shows (A) the general subjects atpresenttaught in the first and second olasses of zilla sohools; (B) thesubjects which Mr. Slater wishes to toaoh in the proposed first andseoond ola6ses leading up to Sibptir, and (C) the subjects which itwould be ensy to teaoh as a preparation for practically all thekinds of ieohflical education referred to in (2) and (3) in paragraph 8abovo :—

Tho oourso would last two years, and tho examination at tho endwould be the equivalent of the F.A. in tho literary oounio.

'J. The Linutenant-Govomor is most; anxious that tho examinationfor both standards should b(; conducted by Um University, and ho truststhis will bo amnged ; but in the event of this being found Lai practic-able, Government is prepared—

(1) to institute two examinations—the first, a Final School orLeaving examination, to be held at the end of the twoyears' course on the modern side in Entrance schools wjiichintroduce the conmieraal course ; and a second or a Finalexamination lor the commercial courso only at the end ofthe two years' courso in tho speoial classes which it isproposed to open ;

(2) to accept the First or Leaving Certificate as equivalent to anEntrance Pass certificate for obtaining Government employ-ment and for all public examinations (excluding the Univer-sity oxnraiudtions); and tho Hnal Certificate as equivalent.tothe .F.A. Pass certificate, ae, for instance, in the Muktearshipoxaruination or other examinations of a similar nature andfor obtaining Government employment.

(l>) AFFILLIATION OF TECHNICAL SCHOOLS TO HIGH SCHOOLS.

TTIK following rules are Inid down for guidance in thoRO cases where"B" and "0" nlasses aro opened in. the first and seoond classesof zilla or hi;j;h sohools. The " B" classes are intended to lead toengiiuvring, &o., pursuits, and tho " G" classes to commerce, trado,nud induntriiis gonoially: —

(1) In tho stations in which both a collegiate, zillu or highHobool and a technical sohool oxist in close proximity,tho latter may ho nfliliatod to tho former.

('<.') Before, affiliation takes place, a technical eohool must beable to show to tho satisfaction of the EduoationDopai fciuent that it is well equipped with machinery,nppliaucos, oto., and that it has a competent staff forteaching the if Ji" classes, and that its money grant issulliciontly largo to cover the cost of materials for thepractical work of the students.

(3) District Boards and Municipalities should give everynseistance towards the afliliation of technical schoolsunder their control "with the local collegiate, zilla orhigh school.

(4) Every proposal for affiliation requires the sanction of•Government, which should bo obtained through theDirector of Public Instruction.

(5) Students of the high schools (irrespective of clnss), whomay eleot the B course, will bo instructed in thetechnical 6ohools in Elementary Engineering andCarpentry. In (ho samp way studonts of the teohniealschools will be instructed in the high sohool in English,Mathematics, and Elementary Science

(6) The two years', course of training in the ilJi" class isintended to teach up to the standard required ofapprentices of the Sibpur College at the end of theirfirst year of study. An extra year's study will berequired before tho pnssod- "B" class students can betrainod up to the Sub-Ovorseer's standard.

(7) Students of the "B " class after passing tho Final examiu-afion hold at tlio end of tho course in tho first olass,i.e., at tho ond of tho two years of attending " B"olassos, may bo admitted into the second-year class oltho Apprentice Department of tho Sibpur College,provided accommodation is available.

(8) Tho now " 7i" olasacs aro in no way conueoted with theUnivorr-ity Enginooring cxaruination, find sludonts intl\oso classes have no claim for admission into thoJinpineoring Department of tho Sibpur College.

7.-TEACHING.

(a) CULTIVATION OP ACCURACY AND THOROUGHNESS IN INDIANSTUDENTS.

A MOST serious and far too common defect among Indian students n.in present times is want of accuracy and thoroughness in (heir work. ('i>-NoThere is a carek-ss, slip-shod, unlidy air in all they do and in ull thoy 11Sepr'say, and, as hardly any stops aro lakon to root out the habit at schooland tit homo, it clings to thorn throughout, telling eventually on theirfuture eilioiency as members of tho various professions. That the lestof public examinations which they pass, does not provide adequatesafeguard against it, is a fact generally admitted. Taking the 1'JntniunuExamination, for example, the present system of valuing answer-paperstends rather to encourage carelessness and inaccuracy. Murks nrosubdivided into small fractious among tho various points which tirolikely to make up the complete answer to a question ; and even themost ill-prepared lad, with no clear notion of what ho is about, is suroto win tho pass-marks if only ho accidentally hits upon somo of thesepoints, no matter how ridiculous his ignonuieo of the other points maylie. 'Thus in naming the cilios on tho hanks of tho Ganges, for instance,supposing 1ho full value of the question is 4'marks and the Examineroxpeots eight cities to be named, ho would award hall' a mark to ouchname; and a. candidate naming only six such cities as Cmrvpur. P,<!nn,Kanj'oon, Delhi, I laid oral >;u I and Colombo, would gel crxlit. lo theo-xieij! of one mark which is. jiml what lin requires to onab|o hi,,-. (., j,;li,j

5-. J'j(jimJl)' important with manual work is drawing, tlie practiceof which, if properly pursued, in sure to foster tidiness and thorough-ness. Ail drawing in a compulsory subject; up to tho sixth standard,and practically compulsory, at least for the bettor portion of boys, upto tin; Kiifranee fctago, no detailed comments seem to be needed on itstoaohiiif;, cxoo.pt that, it will perhaps take some years yet to get thoroipiml" number o.t teachers qualified to loach it in all classes of schoolsami equip thorn with the uoeossary models and patterns—onds whiohthe Department has boon strenuously trying to accomplish ns quicklyas possiblo by opening guru-training schools, including drawing intho curriculum for vernacular training schools, taking proficiency indrawing into account in tho award of junior scholarships, and devotinglargo sums to tho purchase of apparatus, year after year.

v. Allied to drawing are calligraphy and map-drawing. Thatmany boys write an abominably bad hand, and that hardly any cureis taken to improve it, are facts too well known. As a rule, no teachershould be placed in charge of the handwriting of boys who himself,does not write a good hand. Copybooks, both English and vernacular,should be largely used, where this can be done without causing hardshipto. tho boys. The use of ruled paper, indispensable at the outset, shouldbe discontinued as soon as the child is expected to be able to write instraight lines under tho guidance of his eyes alone. In handwriting,instead of tho pupils writing out a, now piece daily, they should bedireoted in repeat an exorciso till the defects pointed out are got rid of.Tho exorcises should not be too long, nor should-small boys be expectedto attempt too largo a size of letters.

7. Map-drawing is a very important school occupation. The boysshould start with making plans of schoolrooms and other familiarplacos by actual measurement, and proceed thoneo, step by step, to mapsof villages, districts and other larger geographical units, inserting lintsof latitudo and longitude where necessary. Detailed hints will befound in any good book on the art of teaching. The matter is referred tohero simply because it materially helps in securing accuracy and nentness.

8. Tho use -of slates, though recommended on the ground ofeconomy, ong].it to be judiciously restricted, if not dispensed withaltogether, as likely to encourage an untidy and inaccurate habit, itbeing so easy to rub out wrong work as often as one finds it necessary.Paper and lead pencil, or papor and pen and ink, nre the best writingmaterials that can be used from the lowest stage. When slates areused, tho teacher should see that they are kept clean, and that the boysnever acquire the dirty habit of spitting on them to. rub out work.

9. Tho very demoralising influence, of printed keys, guides, abstractsand other similar literature must have been felt by many; l.nrt itis much to bo regretted that they are coming even into greater usethan before. By keys are meant not tho commentaries on clnssical•works which are suggestive and critical, but those wivtehcd prints whichencourage tho habit of cramming, which, by dispomiug with theneee.'miy for oonhnlting dietioniirios, xiriko at the root, <if self-help, ;iud

TIM; ihitisU Medical Congress, at thoir general meeting held inJuly 1001, .suggested- the adoption of rnoasures for tho piovontiou ofthe spread of Tuberculosis. Thoroupon, at thojnstnuco of Government,my predecessor, Colonel Ilendloy, prepared a leaflet containing instruc-tions, ou tho 6nbjoet, for distribution to litomto Tuberculous patients•attending public dispensaries.

(hat It's. 6l),fi43 nre required for initial charges, aud Us. 3,350 per annumon account of recurring charge*, for tho

Coiiogo. twelvo Government colleges named intho raargiu. It is explained, however,that, of tho inilial expenditure ofL's. (i9,(>48, tho sum of Us. -12,000,which is provided for building a com-mon room for tho Dacca College, willnot IJO required, ponding further en-quiries; whilo, in your lottor No. o i l ,dated tho 1.1th January 190-J, you

recommend that nil. initial grant of Us. 2,186 for furniture, aud urecurring graul, ol Hs. 2-50 per annum, is required for tho common rconiof that college. Tho total coat, therefore, of tho soheme, which youroronimeiid should bo mot by Government amounts to Its. 29,344 forinilial uxpoiif-'oa and Hs. 3,600 per annum for recurring charges.

3. It appears from paragraph 11 of your letter No. 13950, dated ihe24th December 1903,. that it is iutcndod that part of (ho reeuiringgrant of lie. 1,000, which is asked for on account, of tho common roomof tho Presidency College, should be utilised in defraying tho expensesof tho Athletic Club. As, however, tho scliomo contemplated is notconeornod with out-of-door amusements, tho grunt asked for the Presi-dency Collogo should be reduced to Rs. 500 per annum. For similarreasons, tho grant of Us. GOO rcoom in ended for tho Calcutta Madrasahshould bo reduced to Us. 300. «It is understood that you have noobjection to these reductions being mado. The total reourring grantwhich would bo required is, therefore, lis. 2,800 per annum.

4. I am now to convey sanction to the establishment of commonrooms in conneotioh with the twelve Government eollegcfi named in thomnrgin of paragraph 3 at an initinl cost of JJfl. 29,33-X aud a recurringcost of Us. 2,800. I am to roquest that 3'ou will bo so good ns tosuggest ro-appropriation for meotiug the charges for 1904-1905 wlienthe budget allotments for that year are published. A further commu-nication will bo made later regarding 3'our application, already referredto in paragraph 2, for administrative sanction to the construction of ucommon room for tho Presidency College.

f>. • In conclusion, 1 am to state I hat Government agrees with tho viewtakon by 37ou in 3'our letter No. (5301, datod tho 11th June J.!)03, (hattho romrnon room which it is propofed to establish in tho PresidencyCollogo should bo for tho fludouts of I hat oollogo only, and that if ageneral Under—Graduates' Club is to bo established in Calcutta, it wouldbo bettor to develop the University Ins-tituto for this.purpose, (dovorn-111 out will, I am (0 sa3', bo prepared to consider any proposals on thissubject which you may wish to bring forward.

Jfree Studentships,

and misinterpreted. Tlio rule as to 8 por oent. was originally intendedto bo calculated not on tlio total number of pujnls in a school, but onlyon the total number of Muhammndau pupils in a school. This orderwas modified by this office circular No. 78 of 1897 which changed the8 per cont. from boing applied to iruliammadan boys only to its beingapplicable to the total strength of tbo school with the proviso (hat notmore than .12 such Muhammadan freeships should bo given. Thisrulo in practice gives rise to great inequalities. Thus in a school of150 boys with 138 Hindus and 12 Muhiiminadans in it, all tlio Afuhani-lrmdnns or JuO per cunt, might bo adnjittod iron, while in anotherschool ol 150 boys with 75 Hindus and 75 Muhummndiins only 12Muhainiu»diui3 or 1G per cent, can ho admitted freo. I t is not atpresent proposed to oaucel circular No. 78 oi: 1897, but head-mustersshould bo onroful not to abuse the rulo aud to limit such freeships asfar as possible to tho 8 per coat, of tho Muhammadan population o£tho school. ' *

(i. i t haii also beon pointed out to this office Hint tho grantingof freo Kt.ude.nlships to timo expired scholars and of extension of freostudentships to time-expired free students under tho "two-scholarshipru le" by Inspectors of Schools, in the case, of collegiate sobools whiohare directly under Hie control of Principals of collogos, is open toobjection. • . _ •

7. As (ho objection raised seems to bo reasonable, this officeOircuJnrs NOR. 122 aud 164, dated tlio 2nd September 1S!1-J, mid OtliDecember l8:)-!3, icspeotivcly, aro niodiflod so far ns to allow of thofreo studoutRhips and the extension of fnio studonlsliips mentioned inparagraph G nbovo being granted by J'rinoipnls of collogos in thecollegiate schools under them.

8. A£;iringers of aided schools or of aided colleges may, if thoylike, allow, with tho sanction of the -Inspectors ot schools, in theirSchools or col login to schools, as the ense nuiy bo, tlio freo etudonUhipaprovided in panigrnphs 4, 5 and G for Government behoof, mid Govern-moirt ocllcgiate schools, but in no case should tup maximum, fixed inthose pjirngrti-phs bo OT""<fded.

Tho evil is admitted on nil hands,and tho problem! is to find means by which the method ofpublio insUuof.iou may be strengthened and improved so ns to combatand overooi.no it. Holding these VI'OWH, tho Governor-General inCouncil considers it rnattor J'or congratulation that Local Governmentsnnd Administrations and tho ro|>r< sontativea of tho different nativecommunities in India have generally aocopied his suggestions withcordiality, and shown, by tho earnest aUontion which f.hey liavo dovotodl.o tlii) subject, their determination to remove tho dofoets whioh havobeen brought to notice.

Whero tho fundsnecessary for the improvements sug-gested Ciinuot bo provided from localsources or privato benevoloneo, theyshould be obtained by au enhancementof fees or by curtailing and re-adjust-ing existing expenditure.

Without desiring that a oode of offencesand punishments should be drawn up, to winch evory breath oEdiscipline should bo directly reducible, Mis Excellouoy in Councilconsiders tbat punishments in schools and colleges should take such formsns loss of position in tho class, impositions, exclusion from lessons, sus-pension, from attendance, monoy linos, corporal punishment, and, as afinal resource, expulsion. ,. It will be lor (.ho various Local Governmentsand Administrations acting through their Educational Departmentsto lay down for the guidance of masters such rules as may bo consider-ed desirable to enforce a disreet use of tho different forms ofpuuiebment.

6. The suggestion for tho maintenance of good-conduct registershas been generally well received. The Bengal, North-AVesternProvinces and Oudh and Central Provinces Governments agree to theintroduction of such registers iu the manner proposed in the HomoDepartment circular letter. In- Bombay th&experirneut is to be triedunder .selected head-masters. • In Uurma, registers are to be openedin all Government schools ; in time they may bo prescribed in aidedschools; but in this Province it seems premature to insist on tbis atpresent. I n Assam a start has already been made iu keeping pood-conduct registers, in giving prizes for good conduct and in makingevery boy appear periodically before (ho head-master ; and tho systemia to be further extended. In the Punjab the authorities are opposedto opening good-oonduct registers and to giving prizes for good

• conduot; but they propose to nitaiu the objects iu view by directingthat certificates are to be given for good conduct, and that seriouscases of bad conduct aro to bo ruportod to tho pa rout or guardian of thooffender. The Government (if Ma-drna is advorso to llu> sjstem, onthe ground tbat the moral defects of students and of sdiool-boys arenot such as can be marked by register.'-, of conduot, and doprecatos thosuggestion that attention should bo givon to good-conduct rogisteisin selecting candidates for the public service on tho ground that itwould bo cruel and unjust to place on • pormanent record the faultscommitted in early youth, While admitting that fliero is force in thelast objection, the Governor-General in Council considers that it maybo met by head-masters refusing extracts of the cailior entries in theregisters which would produce nn uufair imprcssiou of the pupil's realcharaoter, or adding such romarks as would prevent their having tbiseffect. Generally speaking, extracts from these registers of conduct,although not conclusive as to a boy's conduof, except during school-hours, will obviously afford more useful information to employers 'towhom ho offers his services .than tho rorlifieiili-s of character nowgenerally {iiven, and from this point of view thc-y will probably not bewithout their UL-O to Government oflicir? in neli-rUng (i.'ni.lid.'iks for tin-public service.

Tho OR!abli.'-binont of hostels is an essential partof the educaliiMial policy of tlio Governments of Bengal and Assamwhere funds me available; and I ho publics has occasionally contributedtoward* such fniindnlionp.

In Bombay, tho JDlphinstono Rules aro to bo circulated, and nnattempt mailo to intioduco the system in High schools generally. InJjongnl, i,he monitorial syMom will ho tried in hostels and subsequentlyrxtonded if 6uocessful. In the North-We.storu Provinces and Oudhand in Assam, it will ho tried in selected schools. In the Punjab, theCentral Provinces and Bonir, tho system is recognized already,especially in tho Punjab; it is to be extended iu tbo Central Provincesnjid Berar. On the whole, tho Government of India is satisfied withtho manner in which Local Governments and Administrations barefieoopted its suggestion on this matter. Time will show whether thosystem is well suited to Indian ho3-s, and with the improvement of thoquality of teuohors, it will bo possible to extend it generally if it isfound to succeed iu the better schools.

9. On tho proposal to enforce tho exclusion from school of boyswho do not reaoh a certain class by a certain ago, tho general opiuionis that a rigid application of a rule of this uaturo would involve thorisk of iujury to classes of society whose backwardness requires encour-agement. Tho Governor-General in Council recognizes the forcn ofthis argument; and, as he thinks that there is not the same objectionto big and small hoys being associated together nt day-schools as thereis at boarding-schools, Bis Excellency in Council is content to leavethe matter to Local Governments and Administrations, on the under-standing that the recommendation in paragraph 18 of the letter of31st December 18S7 will not bo lost tight of.

10. Tho question of infer -school rules ia 0U9 oE groat importancein tho interests of discipline, and rules on tho subject aro already iuforce in noaily every Province. Tho points which it is essential tosecure- are that, without the consent of tho Educational authorities, aboy shall not bo token into a school who has been dismissed fromanother school for misconduct; that failure to pay his school-fees in hisformer school shall debar a boy from admission to another school, exceptuiidor similar coneent of tho Educational authorities ; and that, ifreceived into another school, a boy shail not bo placed in a higherclass than the class ho was iu bofoio leaving the other school, except attlio beginning of a new term. Tho rules on tho last point should onlybe applicable to schools of the same grade; those on tho first andsecond points would be generally applicable to Bchools of all grados.

Tho rules in the Madras and Bombay Presidencies are too exclu-sively directed towards the second of these objects. Those in Bengaland the North-Western Provincos and Oudh seem to ^ive more or losseffect to the tbieo essentials; hut tho point of dismissal for lniseonduotmight be brought into grouter prominence oven in thc?e Provinces.

His Honour tho .Lieutenunt-Goveruorbehoves (but training in tho art of teaching should be given inaddition to, ond not us a substitute for, -the education of tho Univer-sity; and urges that there is no want of musters trniued in tho usual.KnglifiJi method nt tho Univoisity. anrl that it is on this ground andon the ground of oxpouso undesirahlo to import English musters fordefinite periods. His Honour is prepared, should tho Oovernraeutof India wish it, to start oue Training school nt a cost of nbout]vs. ] (1,000 u year for English teuolhrs nt High and Middlo schools,•Government or Aided. Sir Stcuart Bayloy also expresses himself infavour of a system of granting certificates xu tho art of tencliing inproforenoo to an extension of Nonnnl schools; tho possession of sucheoitificateK to bo marlo a condition of employment in Governmentand Aided schools. In tho North-Western Provinces and Oudh con-siderable attention has been devoted to the training of masters, anda Normal school for teachers in Primary nnd Middlo institutions islocated at the bead-quarters of each-Division.' It is. found, however,that present arrangements do not adequately provide for the trainingof in.istors.for iho higher class cf schools, nnd it is proposed to establisha central institution for this purpose, in 'he Punjab, there is a centralTraining college at Lahoro for masters in Secondary schools. No onecan be employed in auy Board school, whether Secondary or Primary,who does not hold a teacher's certificate. Tho amount of grants to Aidedschools is to a certain extont dependent on their having cairlideatedteachers. In tho Central Provinces, sulticienr provision for trainingvernacular teachers is said to exist. The Anglo-Ven.aoidar leaohers aresupplied by (ho colleges. Tho Chief Commissioner is#in favour ofestablishing normal classes for Anglo-Yernaoular masters, and arrangingfor examination for certificates in teaching, and he has under considera-tion suggestions for the improvement of the Norma! schools at Jubbul-pur and Nngpur. in Burma, where education has a strong religiouscharacter, adequuto arrangements for twining masters for Primaryschools exist, and the Chief CommWionor is working out a sob em o forattaching to existing schools departments for the training of middloclass teachera. The supply of trniued teachers for Secondary schoolsin Assam must be procured by indenting on Normal schools in Bengalwhen established, or by sending teachers from Assam for trainingin those schools. In Bernr, arrangements have been ma'le for trainingteaohers for Primary school?, but the Seoondnry schools aro notnumerous enough to justify a special training institution, and mnstorsW theso sohcols aro procured from Bombay colleges and Highschools.

attention, Tlie Madras Government thinks that tlio teaching staffat collogos should bo leavened by a larger proportion of Englishteachers who have paid spociol attention to the art of teaching ; andat its request the Seoretary of State will bo invited in solectinggraduates for educational appointments in India to iusist on theirpossessing expevienco in" teaching. In the North-Western Provincesand Oudk, tho question of employing European musters for a few ofthe lending FOIIOOIS for limited periods is, the Government of India iaploneed to lonin, under consideration. Tho Governor-General inCouncil is convinced of tho valuable stimulus that tho example ofgood teachers from England would givo to schools; and ho would beglad if tho Bombay, Bengal and Punjab Governments oould soo theirway to giving tho proposal their further consideration.

14. Tlmro romaius the question of the extension of a system ofteaching which has a direot bearing upon personal conduct, and whetheran attempt to eltect this extension should be made by prescribingmoral text-books for schools and colleges.

Having given this important question its fullest consideration, theCJovernment of India is satisfied that the end in view would not beattained by prescribing for use in colleges and schools a treatise on ethicsor a book of didnctio instruction in, tho rules and principle of conduct.It believes that the careful selection and (-.raining of teachers providethe most efi'ootual method of establishing n good moral tone iu aschool; but it also considers that the influence of tho teacher may begreatly strengthened and the interests of morality promoted by theuse in Bohools of text-books having a direct bearing on conducteithor by means of precept, or example.. The Governmuut of Indiaunderstands that this viow has commended itself to the Syndicate, of theCalcutta University, under whose auspices Mr. Tiuvnoy, Principalof the Preaidoncy College, lias been oug.igcd to prepare a book ofBoloctions for tho uso. of candidates for matriculation. Tho instruc-tions laid down for Mr. Tawnoy's guidance in preparing this booknre—first, that at least throe-fourths of thebook fd;all consist of prosotaken from authors of the prosont century ; second, thai at least oiio-hnlfof the prose portiou shall cousist of e-xtracts having n direct: bearing onconduct either by way of procept or example ; and, third, that a similarprinciple shall bo, as far as possible, kept in view in tho poetical selec-tions. Thus, the Calcutta University has already (ikon stops to giveeffect to what, in tho opinion of the Government of India, is tlio mostpractical way of introducing moral'training into tho highest class ofIndian schools, and furnishing teachers with the opporfunil}7 of impart-ing instruction in morality and in tho principles of natural religionto their pupils. All that remains now to bo done, in Bengal at allevents, is to supplement this action of the University by providingfor tho lower grades of schools, and for each class in those gradessuitable text-books compiled on similar linns. Similar action in otherProvinces is equally called for; and accordingly the Governor-Generalin Council doHir.es that each Licnl Government and Administrationshould tako this matter at onco in hand; and eithor by th

'and also to encourage such training in schools, in matters affecting J-heir daily' life, as may help to improve and raiso the chnractei1 of their homes." I t is in

this spirit aud with this objoct that tlio Governor-General in Council would havotoRchen; m Indian schools and colleges direct tluiir teaching, so far us may bo,aud it is with a view to bring about such a dobirulile result Hint I am now tocommend the subject to the eurly aud earnest attention of tho Government ofBeugnl.

Tho book of selections reoontly prescribed by the University for theEntranoo examination of ISO I will afford an earnest and conscientioustenohor abundant opportunities of impressing* oii Eouior boys theprecepts and uanotions of morality. Tho selection of similar text-books for tho junior classes is uuder consideration.

2. Tho Government has also directed that conduct, registers shallbe maintained in every Bohool, and that extracts from the register shallbe cbmraunioated at stated intervals to tho guardians of pupils, inaooordanco with the praotice prevailing in schools in England. Theextract (a form of which is appended to this letter) should show theprogress mado in each brauoh of study. Under tho orders of thoGovernment of India,—"The entry regarding general conduct shouldba filled in by the Ilead-masler, and should represent his opinion of theboys' moral character and behaviour, based upon his personal observa-tion and the reports of his subordinates. At tho year's end prizesshould bo allotted for good conduct, of such value as to mnke themobjeots of eager competition." Attention is also drawn to tho follow-ing suggestions of tbo Government of India, which havo been acceptedby the Government of Bengal: —

In order to enable tho Jlead-mastnr to keep up his personal knowledge o£ allboys in tho school, it is worth conside.riiiR.whctlicr a practice, under which eaehclass appears periodically before the ile:id-niivster should not bo adopted inschools where it is not already tho practice.

In this connccti'on it••may also be fm'»ue«teil that, measures might ho taken toprovide that, in Glim? up appointments in Government oHic.r.-vs-ocisdrojMrd shallbo paid to tho entries in !ho conduct, resistor. Ai |jrcs<-iiL npjilirnnls for suchappointments frofjuontly produce cerlifiratus of elunar!IT given with ie.(VreiuN> tothe apiiointments sought. Under the" system now sujjt;csto<l, disorderly conductduring the closing years of school career would seriously iifl 'ut flic candidate'sprospect of obtaining o/licial crnploymcut aflor ieavin? schoul, and no doubtprivate employers would uot bo slow to folloiv the example- sit by Governmentin this respect.

I t is suggested that extracts from the registers should bo forwarded toparents or /juardians twico in tho year, mnicly, ufter tho annual examinations forpromotion, and befovo the Durga J'uja vacation.

caeea of persistent and aggravated misconduct—these eoam to be the obiofmofchods of puniBhment for breaches of discipline available to Head-masters." The imposition of finos is also commended as direoting tlieattention of pnronts and guardians to tho shortcomings of pupils, andinteresting them in the preservation of discipline In a report madeto (fovorurnont in 188-1, I observed thut school .punishments mightroughly bo apportioned as follows: For irregulnr attendance), squaliddress or other faults for which the parent is partly responsible, a finonight properly bo imposed; for idleness, inattention and othor techni-

, cul ofTences ugninft aohool discipline, impositions and keeping in wouldbo Kuititlilo; for continued disobedience and insubordination, or forgross iud<sness of behaviour in or out of school, tho cane might boemployed, and in tho worst ca=oa expulsion; while expulsion shouldinvariably follow tho proof of moral turpitude. 1 also stated that theexisting order did not forbid the uso of the cane, nud observed thatthe matter should be left, as at present, to the discretion of Head-masters. There were no doubt offences of a~ disgraceful kind forwhich the cane was the best punishment; and in othor cases it mightbo inflicted, with tho consent of( the parent or guardian, as an alterna-tive to expulsion. liut it was to be clearly understood that eauing wasto be an exceptional form of punishment, that it was to be administeredby tho ITead-mastor alone, and that it should bo so administsred as toinfliot pain only without any bodily injury. Any school in which thooane was frequently resorted to would be regarded ns inefficientlyconducted. I may add that when it is known that tho oane is arecognised instrument of discipline, it will not ofton bo necessary tohave recourse to it. Many an ill-oonditionod boy who would laugh nta fine, and regard expulsion as a welcome relief from a tedious roundof duty, would probably pauso before the uplifted rod.

In continuation of my Circular No. 45 of yesterday's date, in whiohvarious points conneotod with the maintenance of discipline in sohoolgwere ooufliderod, I have the honour to forward, for your information,the subjoined extract from the 'Resolution of tie Government of Indiadated tho 17th August 1889, on tho subject of the provision of trainedand certificated teachers to high schools:—

" Tho Bengal Government, ori tho ground tiint tba education of teachers iacostly, and that the. educational grant is insufficient to adequately provide forelementary.and technical education, status that there is no prosont prospect offunds being available for tho genoral introduction of a eystcm of training teachersfor their profession in spocial institutions.

(b) DISCIPLINE IN COLLEGES.

Circular No. &6, dated the 3rd April 1890 by the Director ofPublic Ins!ruction.

In continuation of my Circular No. 45 of this day's dnte, on finsubject, of ilio maintenance of disciplines iu schools, 1 havo tho honourto conununioato to you the following further instructions with regardto oollesyoa.

2. in considering tho question of t!io maintenance of discipline, inooUego;?, whore, from tho nature of tho caso, positivo rules, tho mt>tho.lappropriate for schools, were comparatively ineffective—tho Govern-niont of Fndia observod that tho tono of a collegiate body as a wholecould only Le raised by distinct moral teaching, and hy cartful moitilsupervision. Tho question was how euoh supervision could bo nmdamore effective, and how the sentiments and habits of students .might bobost inlluuiioed for good. In this matter far more ,was to b3 expectedfrom tho oxample and personal qunlitios of tho Principal and l'rofes-sors than from rules, but rules in support of authority might beuseful, and from that point of viow the followiug regulations might babouelicially ouforoed:—

(a) that woekly meetings should bo held by tho Principal and theProfessors to consider questions of discipline ;

(i) that the Principal should havo tho powor of ordering theexpulsion or rustication of a student, and of fining him fordisorderly conduct; and

(c) that every Professor should havo the power of suspending astudent for a limited period of tinio, and of lining himwithout reference to the Principal.

3. After receiving the opinions of Looal Governments on thesesuggestions, tho Go vornment of India issued tho following order:—

" The suggestions [onuiiu'riiled above] for the improvement of discipline incollegos, linvo received favourable eonsidonitioii by Local Governments audAdminialrntioiis. In .Bombay nnd tho CVuiral Provinces tlie rulo as to weeklymeotiiig3 of College Councils will bo adopted. In Uengal and tho North-WesternProvinces and Oudh the rulo is considered unnecessary; nnd iu tlie Punjabfortnightly meetings havo beon proscribed. Tho ru!o (unpoiveriii^ a 1'rincipalto expel, rusticuto or Cua a scholar is accepted everywhere. The rule K'V'"Spowor to a Professor to suspend a student for a limited (iruc, or to line himwithout-referonco to the Principal, is accepted by .Bombay, Beimil a ml theCVntrnl Provinces. In tho Punjab it is delinitel/ restricted to slii.lunts of thoProfessor's own class ; aud it is understood th.it this liinifd'.ion is also con'orapla-ted in tho tbroo provinces just nientioned. Tlie Governments of M.ulras nndtho Worth-Wcstora Proviucos and Otidh favour tho autocracy of tho Principal inmatters of disciplino. Tho Government of India is content with the nie.-isuro ofaocopt.-ineo which its suggestions as to colleges have mot, and dous not wish topress them furthor on the Governments which have not found thomselvos able toadopt tlipm."

4. In directing that these orders should bo issued to allfcionnl oiii'jors engaged as Professors in Colleges, lhi:Governor drew attention to tho man3' opportunitii s whioh the stu-lyof ethics, aud other occisior.s of oollegf) life, alfordo I to toaWieM f.'-rmoral instruction <>f a charnclor to inlluonoo their pupils mid to ninkea pormane'it impression for good upon them.

prescribed for tho pupils, and also in tho olbcr books from the schoollibrarian that thu M.udents of tho higher forms should bo encournsrodto mid. In order to get the best elfeot from this source, it is neces-sary that, among tho hooks recommended to tho pupils By tho teachersfor extra rending, there should bo some which have n decidodly moralbo!truH>-( vojlo in leaching tho text-books the teacher should diiect.tl 10 attention of tlio boys to tho mornl teachings continued in them.

•'}. A properly maunged school, in which a strict eye. is Jci'pt ondiscipline, gives ulso tho best moral instruction possiblo. The habitsof punctuality, obodienoo, regularity and method, truthfulness, etc.,which must be inculcated and enforced in a sohool ivorlli the name, iiro

• important factors in tho shaping of chiuactor, and it is expeoted thutnil teachers should constantly bear in mind their duties in this respect.

•4. Tho surest basis of a high.character lies ia truthfulness in wordami deed. No opportunity should be lost by the teacher in impressingupon the students the importance of this, and in exposing the ignoblemid 'contemptible nature of a mind which does not hesitate to resortto a lie. The teacher should furnish himself with as many tiles andanecdotes, bearing on this point as possiblo, from auoieut or currenthistory or from actual every-day life, and use these whenever anoppoit.i.nity offers itself. Special attention to this matter should bopaid in tl'o lower forme, as impressions mado in theso earlier stagesore likely to bo the most effective and durable.

5. Then tho oihor virtues of generosity, self-control, self-sacrifice,respect to superiors, tenderness to animals, compassion for the poor, etc.,should also ho taught. In addition to theoretical toaolung, the boj'smay bo induced to aohially put into practice tho virtues tnught, as faras circumstances will allow. It does not appear necessary to fix aparticular period for "moral teaching," puro and simple, but notoucher should c&naider his work for tho day dono satisfactorily, unlessho hud devoted a portion of it to making an attempt to develop themoral side of tho pupils placed under his iustruoticn.

6. ''Example is, however, hotter than preempt," and a teaoherwho is himself unpunctual, or who is uot highly respected himself forhis chnractor, cannot expect that his teachings about truth or punctual-it}' will attain much success;' Tho Department has therefore alwnj'sexpeotcd, and will in future oxpeot, its teachers to sot the example of ahigh character before the eyes of the pupils undor them.

7. I t should bo romembered, howovcr, that moral instructionmust not go boyond its sphoro, and should in. no way alfeot the 6ocialand religious idoas of the students generally.

8. The conduct of the boys outside school hours should also beattended to. In the case of students living near the school, (ho beadmuster or some tenohers deputed by him may occasionally see theguardians and ascertain the conduet of their wards at home, andimprot-3 upon the guardians tho fact that without (heir co-operationthe formation of o'huructor of ihoir ward* would bo imsatisfarslory.

•). In of er ciisos, whenever possible, some ouo or oth>r teacherot (ho schools should see as muny guardians aud aa ufton »is possibleabout their wards.

Tho question affeots tho entire Geld of higher' oduculion,Imt Hi« principles to he applied and tlie procoduro to bo adopted willcliitdr uncording as school-boys or ocllogo students, 6chool-ma6terB orProfc-s.sovs ol' colleges havo to be dealt with. The case of tlie pupilsof hii'li schools pivsonfs little difficulty, in tho intorost of the boystliQm:ielvoH it is undesirable thnf they fhould ba distracted fromtheir •wcn.'k by attending political meetings, or engaging in any formof political agitation. In tho ovent of suoli misoonduct being persistedin nnd encouraged, or permitted by tlio masters or tho managinguutboiitief, tho offending school oau aiitor duo wnrniug bo dealt witii—

(a) by tho Local Government, which has tho power of with-drawing any giant-iu-aid, mid of withholding theprivilege of competing for scholarships and of receivingEchohirehip-ho'.ders ;

(b) by tho University, which can withdraw recognition fromtho school, the effect of whioh is to prevent it fromsending up pupils as candidates for the Matriculationexamination! -

Action under the Bret head oan bo taken by the Local Governmentof its own motion without referenco to the University. Should thismeasure prove inadequate, and should it be thought necessary to havorecourse to the more sevore punishment of withdrawal or rocoguitiou ortlio threat thereof, the facts of tho ease should be reported to theUniversity which alone is legally competent to inflict the requisitepenalty. In euoh cases following tho practice of tho Government ofIndia in conducting their own correspondence with tho University, thecommunication may be addressed to the Registrar, through the Hectorof the Calcutta University.

3. Tho ense of students of affiliated colleges Flauds on ft somewhatdifferent footing. Thoy aro uo lonper schoul-boys but under-*graduates, atd a certain proportion of thorn are Bachelors of Ariawbo may reasonably claim aoina wider liberty of action than ispermitted to eohool-boys. In regard to them, therefore, tho Govern-ment of India aro not prepared to lay down, as a general rulo, thatmore attendance at political meetingf, as distinguished froni taking anactive part in their proceedings, would necessarily call for the adoptionof disciplinary ineaisures against the collepe. Although, however, theyadmit that tho degree of discipline which is essential for a school-boymay bo inappropriate and even undosirablu in tho ease of a student,still they must insist upon tho principle that colleges exist for thepurposo of education, and thoy caunofc rogard with indifference thoconversion of such, institutions into centres for the dissouiination ofpolitical doctrines of whatevor oharactcr.

(h) THE GENERAL WORKINa OF OUJlG'TRAINING SCHOOLS.

EHract from teller No. S6T., dated the lltth May 1906, from theDirector of Public Instruction to Qovt, of Bengal.

[Paras. 16 to 23.]15, The next eubjeot to be considered is that of ©WK-Traiiiing1

school,-*. This question was disoussod in pnragraplis 6 and 7 of thereport, duted the 3rd August 1905, of tho Commiltpo, which ndviaoilGovurnmont iu regard to Euralgchools. In parogroph G of that report,tho Committee expressed their opinion that, while tho course mightvery advantageously be extended over n period of two years, it wouldbe scarcely practicable to insist upon this at first, and (hat on thowholo it would bo best to make a slnrfc.by fixing a one yoar's course.Tu respect of this matter tho Sj ooinl nomnul'ao have ruude a radicaldeparture from tho terms of their reference Tliis subject ia fullydealt with in parngraph «$ of inv nnto on £?i<v«-TraiiHii{j schools of tho11th February 1900, the views oxpres;od in which havo been endorsedby tho Speoial Conimitteo in tho noto rccorclod by (hem on the sulijcoLat their eighth meeting. I t is unnecessary for mo therefore to recapi-tulate oil the arguments that aro tiiereiu set foitl.i. Tho gist of theproposals made by tho Speoial Commitleo is that (Jm general rule shouldbo that tho training should bo for two yonrs, disrrotion being given toIuspeotors to allow exceptional men to outer tho second year class nndto pass out after one year's training, nud,' conversely, that tho Insptctorshould be allowod discrotion to permit a man who lias failed (o qualifyaftor two years' training, otherwise tban owing to wilful oogloot, tocontiuuo in tho school for one 3'car more, still holding his afipond. AsQoverumonfc will gather from my noto referred to, I lay tho greateststress on this proposal, believing, as I do, that Government money ia notvlargely being frittered away on the existing G'Knf-Training BOIJOOIH.

10 Tlie views oxpressod in pnrngvaphs 6, 7, 8 nnd 11 of my notoof the U.th February 100G wore, it will be observed, unanimouslyadoplnd by (lie Special Commit!oe. The question really amounts tothis: "Slmll wo continue the preRuuf aystGin, whiok may look verywell on p:iper but \vhiolj in pracfieo is largely a sh;un and n waste ofpublic money, or t;hall wo proceed on business-lik<> lines? la tho first])beo, according to tho present system, n Guru teaching in a eohool isullowid to go through the course at a Guru-Training school withoutgiving ii]) his (school for tho time boing. I t is ncodluss to comment onthis. "What hnppc-ns is this : tho Guru prosents hinisolf merely for anhour or so at the 6'i/rK-Trainiug school, l lo then attempts to do in thnt6h.ort period what ho should aiteinpt to do in a full day's work. Thocourse at tho Giini-Tmmiug 3chool represents two full years' work.This the Guru abovo referred to tries to do in about one-sixth of thotime. Again, tho idea underlying the present system is that the Guru-Train ing schools must be taken to tho Gums, and not that the Gurusshould go to to tho Guru-Tr&imng sohools. I t has beeu assumed that thelatter plan, whioh is the only business-like one, is not feasible. Outho ether hand, wo have olear evideneo that Gurus are willing to go tothesis schools, and thoro is every reason to think that they will resort tot;!ioni moro if they are, as is now proposed by the Special Committee,bettor treated. To move the (?i«c/f-Training schools from plaoo to placemerely moans inefficiency, because it is impraoticablo in thnt case toconstruct suitable school-houses or to provide hostels for the students orquartors for the teachers. I t is also impossible to provide tho experi-mental gardens, which should bo tin essoutial foature of those schools(fiefs the closing remarks in paragraph 7 of the report of the 3rdAugust 19(J5 of tbo Committee which advised Government in regard toJ.lvnal 6ohools). Last but not loast, the public which is interested in thisform of edneution judges us by our works, and cannot beliovo that woaro in oarcest as regards these, schools whon thc-y see that so littlo careand thought is oxpended on them. I cannot too strongly thereforeimpress ou Government tho importance of those propoials.

20. I now come to the vory importaut question as regards theproposal mado in paragraph (> of tho report of tho >'3nl August 1905 ofthe Committee, which advisod Government in regard to Rural PrimaryschooJii, that a special stipond of We. 2 a month over anJ above hisordinary emoluments should bo given to ovory Guru wlio qualifies ina Guru -Training sohool so long as.ho continues to teach satisfactorily ina school recoguiscd by tho Education Department- Tho Cornuiitteobased this proposal on a consideration of the fact that tho Euherae ofestablishing new (?f/;'«-Training sohoolsmust fail entirely, unless teachersfind that it is to their advantage to pass through tho Training schools.1 cordially ngreo, and so do tho members of tho Special Committee, whohave further considered !he subject, with this opiuion. I concur how-ever with the ypDcial Covuiuittoo that tin* paitieular moans proposed tothat end by tho Committee roforred to aro not practicable or thy bost.This qnostiou is discussed by me in parngrRph 9 of my note of tbo Jltli

(a) of young men wlio intend to become teachers, and(l>) of Gurus iu oharge of schools who wish to qualify.

Til this connection I may acid that in tho now schools which nrobeinjr tistuliliiihod, only thqno who tiro (onoliers in Lower Primary schoolsond whohiiVo reached tho Lower Primary standard will for tho presenthe admitted, {oitle tho proceedings of tho uovonth mooting of tho SpecialOommitteo, and paragraph fl of tho report of tho Conuuitloe which udvia-od Govermnont with regard to Rural schools).

22. In paragraph 10 of my noto of (ho 11th February 1900, I sug-gested how any funds whioli might bo available iu tho ourreut andluturo years might be utilised. 1 suggested that they might beutilised—

(1) in improving the existing CwH-Training sohools;(2) in providing for tho repuirs of the old and now (?«/•«-

Training schools;- (3) in constructing and maintaining decent hostels for the

students under trainiug aud quarters for the teachingstaff at these sohools; and

(4) in giving rewards to men who pass-through tbo course oftraining with credit.

Tho Special Committee, while approving of theso proposals, ex-pressed a fear that the proposals which they have made as regards pro-viding ndditionul teachers and enhancing tho stipends, HH proposed inparagraphs 18 and 21 of this h ftcr, would aiono absorb till availableresources. 1 dipouss this inntfer in iho nextparagraph.

23. Tho addition of a toacher ou Us. 8 referred to in p g p18, and tho raising of the stipends iu tho mauner proposed in paragraph21, for the existing ffwrM-Truining schools will involve an additionalannual expenditure of EB. |39,544 frnd of Rs. 37.310 for the current

.year, if etfect is given to the proposals, ns I would suggest, from the -1st Oolobor 1906. This con bo m t from the lump grant ofUs. 2.97, 200 providod in the current year's budget for primary educa-tion nnd new educational schemes. Then, as regards the question ofopening new ffwu-Training sohools on tho improved lines proposed, I

. find that, after making provision for the oponing of the BhagalpufCentral Training School and the re-organisation of the EducatioualBen-ices out of the lump grant of Us. 2,97,200 abovo referred to, thorewill remain only a sum of about Its. 33,220. Most of this monoywill be required for tho improvement of wakials, as sanctioned iuGovernment letter No. 157T.— G., dated tho 24th April 1905.

.Si-CERTIFICATED TEACHERS.The employment of trained and skilled teachers in schools is now rv. r.

'admitted universally <o be essential to truo progrcb.s in education. In ^Kk-tr.'i1. •-•<?India, whore trained teachers represent a very small proportion of thoteachers employed .in schools, it will, hi the future, bo necessary to takeoven possible and legitimate opportunity that may present itself fnrf>plano incompetent and untraiued teachers, and also thosewho may l->oexpoijFiiieed, but .still not successful teacher.*, by trained and ennip'-tentlii.ielii.ifi on tlio (caching staff. This policy appears to bo absolutely im-perative to ensure real progress in education. I t is hence essential Unit,as in tho other Provinces of India, systematic registers of properlyqualiCiedteachers in all classes of sohools should bo maintained- by theJMmation Department in .Bengal. Each school in a Division shouldtherefore be required to supply tlio Deyuty I nspector of Schools concernedwith tho infounafion asked for in the form givon below.* I t will bo iu-runiboiit on each Deputy Inspector of Schools to start a gouora.1 registerin tho preseribod form for his oflice, which will contain the particularstherein lefcrred to in regard to teachers of oil schools in his district whoreceive salaries below Ks. 8 a month or who are only paid out of publicfunds by grants paid partly or wholly under the old system of payment byresults, whioh is however about to be done away with. A similar registerwill bo kept up in the office of the Divisional Inspector of Schools forteachers whose salaries range from a sum liclow Its. 50 and Rs. S a mouth.Tho Iimpootor of Schools should draw up and submit, for record in theOlfico of the Director of Public Instruction, Bengal, a list showing,6cuool by school, all such .particulars of teachers who nre in receipt ofsalaries of Rs. 50 a month and upward?. Those rcL-u-ters should containonly those who are in the opinion of the inspector properly qualifiedf.iQchcrs, and include in separate sections (") all those men who are em-ployed in Government schools, (//) all wlio are. employed in aidod schools,and (c) all who aro employed in private and unaided schools, but whichschools .send in candidates for public-examinations or which receive scholar-bhip-holdors, tho scholars being pr.id from public funds of any l;iud.

2. At first the admissions to these registers of duly-qualifiedteachers will have, possibly, to bo fudged by a rather lenient standard,and those toncliers who havo given satisfaction as touchers to theirhead-masters, or who have become experienced -teachers by long andsuccessful servico in schools, will have to bo admitted a? qualified; butafter the initial registers, havo been finished, and afterwards diningtheir revision, onceiu every throe years, ihn admissions to such registersshould be made more strictly, and the admission of teachers to such regis-ters should only bo allowed either on tho production of a Univon-it.ydiplomu, or a certificate of having passed a practical examination in theart of teaching in a training cullego or school, or of having satisfied acompetent Inspector or Deputy Inspector of Schools that the applicantfor admission to tho rugis-tor iy p.-operlv qualified rip a. fca-ohnr. .A I 1 hocamofimo it will be possible to dill'i r< ul.InU: Hie I.i'.ehui.-; into variousgrades, according to the sulmob: Ih'ny should be allowed Lo tej.h hi.

7.—TEACHERS UNDER TRAINING.

TKKM.S UNDJvR WHICH NATIVE TKA.OHEUS SHOULD BE ALLOWEDTO ;ATTEND .TRAINING INSTITUTIONS.

No. 79Vr.Cn, dnlwlUw M June 190!;, from the Govt. 0/ Bengal, OciwralDept., to the Govt. of India, Home Dept.

I AM directed, to acknowledge tho receipt of your endorsementNo. 84, dated tho ,4th February 1004, hi which the Government of

.India,request that they may bo .furnished with jiny further remarks•which this Government ..may desiro to make regarding tho terms uponwhich native, teachers should bo allowod to attend training institutions.

'.I. It is observed that tho Government of India have no objectionto thfoo.of tlio proposals made in my letter Mo. (HIT. —G , dated tho30th May,,19013,.viz : (1) that teanhers,;whilo under training, shouldbo allowed .10 receive travelling allowance in.rcspeofc of their journeysto,and from the training institutions, and (3) that (hey should not besubject to forfeiture of privilege leave earned before t bo commence-ment of their deputation. With ril'oreuoe to tho suggestion that theperiod spent bj' toacliors undor traijiing should be fiHo\vcjd to count asservice, qualifying for privilege leave nnd iucrenifutB of salary, thuGovernment of India are of opinion that the former concession shouldnot bo allowod, but thero is not tho fame objection to tho grant of thelatter.' .

0. As regards the liftli proposal made iniuy letter above referredto, that full pay should bo given to a teacher wliilo undergoing training,tho Governmort of India .points out that, as the arrangemont by whicha teacher attends a normal school is inado in his own interests as well,as in those pfGoveiT.ineiit, it is not desirable that ho should be allowodexactly the sarao terms as if ho .were on service. He has lighter work;bo is relieved of responsibility ; and, wbilo under training, ho is addingto tho pptential .value of..his attainments. To grant full pay in such.casc-8.would.be equivalent to tho creation in perpetuity o£ a numberof special appointments tonablo in tr(iining . schools; .while it would beopen to the further objection that it might induce, candidates for omploy-niont, who now accept stipends for training, as students, to tako up up-pointments as untrained teachers with the objoot of subsequoutly vacat-ing their appointments nnd going fo bo (rainod on full pay. 1'or thesereasons, tho Government of India are reluctant to sanction, generally,proposals which would have (ho effect of giving teachers under trainingtho full pay of their . appointments. They, nro disposed to prefer nnarrangement by which, a teacher would IJO given a fixed, b i t

[ gi'irnii; tho period of his tu i t ion , in addi t ion to h a l f - p a y ,'ML-II In o u e - l W r t h of his Hrihiry. T h i s h <lio m a x i m u m

IN paragraph 5 of the Resolution of this Government, No. 387o,dated the 17th December, 1902, it was remarked that, one of the chiefcauses of tho slow progress^ of female educatiou Ln this country was (hawant of a system for educating women of respectable family andposition, who, by tho custom of tho country, do not appear in public:Having regard to this observation, the Director of.

INTRODUCTION.

Til !•; purpose of a school is to form and strengthen tho character nndto develop tho inlclligenco of tho children entrusted to it, and to innkotho best use of the school years available in assisting them to fit them-selves for tho work of life.

The formation of character must nlwoys be one of the main aims ofeducation, and every part of sohool-lifo has some, influence in -thiarogard,whether for good or evil. It, must, for example, ho our constant endodv-our to adapt tho teaching of a school to tho atfcninmenis of its pupils,and this not merely to socuro duo intellectual progress, but becausechildren will acquire- the bad habit ol idleness, both whou tho workdoniandnd of them is too easy, and nlso when it is too hard. Moreover,tho good moral traiuing which a school should givo canuot bo left toclinuoo; on this side no loss than outhe intellectual fido fhe purposo. oftho teacher must be cloarly ooni'oivod and intelligently carried out.

Honu'lhing may bo done through tho expression aud reading lessons.In Hioso the children may bo taken through the biographies of typicalhoroes or luroincs, and these biograjihics should he treated in the maiuwith a view to illustrating tho actions of real persons and tho principlesof conduct nnd qunlitios of chamfer whioh piomoto tho wclfuro of (heindividual and society. ,

Q1]^ lives of great men and women, carefully Eolecfed from allFtations in life, will furnish tho most impressive oxumplos of obedience,loyally, ciourago, strenuous effojrt, serviconbloness —indeed of all thoqunlirioR which mako for good citizenship. The teacher should place ini-oliol* th.osiv act ions of her heroes or horbinos which exhibit their higherqualities, but should take caro not to raise (hem loo far above tliolevel ofcommon humanity by Iho omission of their faults or shortcomings.

Observation and expression.-—The l<:-;'oin> deaiijned to develop thepower of expression will generally, owing to ;i lade of staff, have \o bocombined with those ttexiynad to dovolop the power of accurate observation.Tho.-e lessons should usually (n-ko tho for.n of talks between the .teacherfind (li'i childrf-n about familiar thing*. Tho ;iubjee(s will vary with (ho.surroundings mid conditions of tlio school : (ho ossonlial point iathat the. themes solectcd should he wulJ within 'tho range of (ho child-ren's couipii.heJJ.'iion and interest. Occasionally the children themselvesshould bo a.Mcod to suggest a to|)ie. W'hon tho chiof nim of (ho iossonis Jim (icvr/ojji'neiit if the jioitrr of enpri-s.sioii, (ho subject, may hn d story<>[ foll;loro, mythology .or udvonturo, or ovon tho outline biography ofa shiking el-i;u-iictor: when (ho chief .iim is the dcvelfipmind o/'ubwr-dinnthoMihJL'ct of tho lessonfihouhi alwa^'s bo sumo eoncreto object. Thisolijed, should a ways bo pliiced bolorn (lio .children, find they e!:oukl bo{.riven every oppoilnuiiy of oxMinitiin^ it. Jn these lessons the teachershould add'refs.herself to tho cliildion individually rnthor than to thocluss colloctively, and her object should always bu to make (lio cliildroudo most of tho talking. Indeed, throughout the?o lossoiis it is ofsontiaillmt tho ehildicn should bo tuiined and cneournged to talk individually.Uullor tivo answering cr .eolh'otivo iepi.'i(ion oi (lio words of tho teacherby tho cliif-s should ncv(r bo allowed, 'T.ho.:o pvnelioi ?; not only renderthose oxeroifcs valucloss, but (hoy im; an actual hindrance (o thedevelopment of genuino thought arid free expression; Soiun childrenfire shy, and therefore their natural ouno.--i(y, which should, result ineager (|uestionin<r, is ropresscd. TIIO.M! If.ssons, jf 'properly conducted,v-%ill do much to reinovo tin's thyijpss, and to nialio (ho childreniiecu>torned to speak out in ola.sr*. J.( is l.indo.sirable to letter or repressa child's liberty of speech more than 'is acluiillyneoewnry. Unnecessaryrepression makes a child 1O.-.K coniniimieativo aud less <;blo to express hisown thoughts, consequently Jess capuhlo of clear thinking,

W'hon nn observation lesson is given on a natural object, theobject should always be treated as a living wholu and in.relation to italife. .Even in the cailicst lessons, tho fact that each part of an animalor plaut is what it is tis contributing a necessary element to tho lifo ofthe animal or phint should always bo kept in view. Thus irom the first(ho teaeber should by questioning lead her pupils to analyso tho severalimpressions which go to niako up their total impressiou of tho object,and then briug out the relation of each to tlio wholo. Aftor thisprocess of analysis, tho separate uspocts should bo reconstructed torestore- the unity of the impression of (bo object as a whole. Greatstress should not bo laid on tho utility to man of tho natural objectwhich is beiug studied.

uf tlio curriculum rhould supplement the other. Tlio aim of theschool being to train cbildron to obsorvo intolligently what they seedaily arouml tlicin, the teacher cannot mglwt altogether the raostimportant physical features of tlio locality. A rational study of these,combined with instruction designed to mako tlio children appreciateto some ostont dimension and spatial rola'.icm can bn mndo up into nsystem of geographical tcnehiug, which, though limittuT, is both.educationally sound and cajiablo of almost infinite development. As

• a method-of teaching dimoneion and .-jpafinl relation, it is suggestedIhut f/io children should first of .all bo (aught; to nutiuo the variation inthe filunlow of tho snn cast by tlio school buihling at different timesof tho dny. In this way they will learn by actual observation tho.'cardinal point?, and -will thus get a fixed standard by •which toarrange objects in tho school, tlin playground and iho inimedirito neigh-bourhood. They should thon proceed t:o actual jnonsuroni'mts—luruthu teaching can bo brought into liuo with tho aiithmcliu work,— andiht'FC meiiHuremonts should first of all bo dono in a small area, and bya rough-arid-ready method, such a? stepping. Measurements by timor.honhi' fdso, if possible, bo practised, i.e., a child should bo made towalk certain distances which she has already paced^ and tlio teacherfihould tell her how long she took to cover each. Tho next step shouldbo to measiiro Inrjjer areas outside tho school. When the child hasacquired somo fairly accurate idea of distance, sha must; bo taught torepresent what sho has measured. This is a difficult stop. Tho firstplan drawn must bo the plan of a small space, such as thn school-room,and an -easy and fairly offieiont molhod of trunsition is to mako thochild (itop the spaco of which she is going to draw a plan, record herfitepR and thou tell her that tho louglh of her tJmmb-joint is toropresont ono etep. When slio lias mastered tho ido.i of drawing byfcido, fho should, if possible, bo shown a map of tho neighbourhoodor village and gradually trained (o draw plans of larger and tnorocomplicated areas, tho g'lal lining- to bo able to draw a large scaleplan of tho neighbourhood. For geography teaching tho childreufihould not bo confined to tho school buildings. It is essential that theyshould, whenever possible, bo takon out to walk distances and to seowith their.own oyes.

on tho ordinary grant. This a'lditiouitl allowance h\ proposod, in oulovto encourage tho • maktabs of Glasses 1 and II to adopt tho fulldepartmental standards.

Tim ftbovo payments will of oourso havo to be mado out of Ilioprimary grant at (he disposal of Dial riot Boards, and in non-ljoarddislri'ti; from lands at the disposal of tho Department. J.!ouglily speak-ing, !'iid so far as can bo at present estimated, tho oost will probablyitmouni; to ubout lia. 50,000 a your.

5. As regards tho curriculum of studios, T agree with the Oonferem-othat it would bo dosirablo to treat tho maktabs in Calcutta separatelyfrom those in tho mufu*»al. Paragraph !) of tho oflico noto ubovoalluded to contains a statement showing tho usual course of studiosadopted in tho Calcutta inaklabu at pra-ont. Enquiry is being madoas to vi'hotlioi (ho course, noeds any revision, aud a separato communica-tion on this point will bo mado to G-ovuruniont later on. With regardto tlio • suggestion mado in tho papors submitted by tho Conference thattho Calcutta maktahs should bo under dilforont control from other Pri-mary school, and bo placed under the supervision of Dr. Boss, I regretto say I think this would bo a most mistaken polioy. In my opiuioutheso maktabs should always bo treated, as far as possible, in tho samoway as ordinary Biuall Primary schools ; for in tho future it is to bohoped they will gradually conform to tho requirements of primaryeduoation. Honoo to separate (hern from tho ordluary scheme ofinspecting work in tho Dopartmont would bo a mistake.

6. As regards tho mti/assul maktabs, it is clear that wo have to deal,broadly speaking, with two classea of vuiktuba, viz. (a) maidtbs in whichtho vernacular employed is Urdu, and {b) maklahs in which tlio vorna-oular is other than Urdu, i t is only in olass (a) of tlio maktabs thattho teaohing of ono of tbo languages,—ILituli, Bengali or Uriya—iuaddition to the Urdu, ma}' be itisistml on; .while in those comingunder class (b) tho only language the teaching of which can boin»i»tod-on is the vernacular of the disfviut, Urdu being here- taughtin a second language. Persian should always bo treated as a whollyoptional language for all classes oiinaktnh.

7. Tho question of curriculum again does not come up in connec-tion with Class ! of the malilahs (viik paragraph o); while, as regardsClass 111 of the maktabs, Bugles1 ions will havo to be made ouJy inreference to tho Urdu or Persian books to bo taught iu thorn, as in theolhor Kubjoots they will strictly follow tlio standards laid down for thoUpper Primary and Lower Primary schools under tho new vernacularscheme of education. A statemout showing the Urdu or Poisian bookdthat will bo road in this class of viaktabs is given in Appendix A.

S. I t is only in. the caso .of Class i l of the uuiktabs thon thatdetailed directions as regards the courses of studies aro iiocos.sary, and1 be;: to append a statement (Appendix ]3) giving a course of Etudiesfor this class of maUabs, based, as regards Urdu or Persian, ehioil}' ontho statement proparmi by JLnulvis Muhammad Ibrahim and AbdulKarini, which was attached to tho printed ollieo note, aud in tho case of<:liH other subjects, on tho courses prescribed under tho now vernaculareducation scheme.

7.-STATE TECHNICAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NATIVESOF INDIA.

IN iha year l!)03, E i s Majesty's Secretary of Stato for ludia nengiminetioned, us a provisional measure, tha iustiluiiou of a certain (\cn}\number cf scholarships, tenable by unlives of India, in lPuropo or N",' IA-inpriea. Tlio purpose of those scholarships WHS to provido for 16 Mmnatives of India that higher technical education whioh'might qualifythem fo assist, in promoting existing native industries, and developingnow industries, wherover tin's mi^ht be possible. Ti-ohnical educationlor this purpose was defined an—(") the study of tho Rcioutilio methodsnnd principles underlying tho practice "1 nny handicraft, industry orprofession ; and \b) the application of these methods nnd. principles totho handicraft., industry or profession in question. Law, medicine,forestry aud veterinary scit-uce being already provided for, were notincluded among (ho subjects to be studied by the holders of tbotechnical scholarships, and agrieulturo was exoluded from tho scopo ofthe scheme. As far as Bengal was concorned, it was decided that thomininj;; industry oil'ered the most favourable field for tli" iuitiation oftho experiment, and tho scholarships hitherto awnrdc-rt on. tho reoom-niendntion of the Government of Bengal have been utilised for theencouragement of that industry. Eleven Shite technical scholars havobeen sont from Bengal in the four yeaia 1904 to l!'0>.

2. The Government of India have now dcoidod to award, duringihe year li)08 and tho following years, one scholaiphip annually toeach Province,-provided that tho Local Government or Administrationconcerned has a suitable candidate to nominate, and that its recom-mendation is submitted in accordance with tho principles wbiob areftatod in paragraph- 0 below, nnd that tho industry to bo studied isuitlif-r already devplopod or in the process of dovelopnu nt.

3 Tt mny, howoviT, S'imotimos hajipoix that, owing to tho dearthof eligible candidates in cortniu Provinces, two or moro•.Kcholnrthipsmay on ucrotinn be available for allotnieut to other Provinces. If,therefore, a Local Government is in a position to i£ooiunieud confi-dently more than one oandidate, such recommendation may besubmitted to the Government of India. In such cuses tho oaudidatesneed not neeossarily be selected for the same industry.

4. As regards t.he current year, it bas boon decided, after con-sultation with representatives of tho mercantile and industrial com-munities, that the industry to be primarily encouraged is the miningindustry. It has further beeu dooided that tho industry which shouldbe considered as coming next to tho mining industry as regards itsclaims to encouragement, is tbo loather tanning industry. Ouo oan-didato will; if possible, be recommended for a scholarship in connexionwith the mining industry. The question whether, in the event ofthis Government recommending to the Government of India more.limn "no c.findidalc, tbo selootions will bo made for <be miningindustry alnnc-, or for both the milling and the leather tanningindiiRtiij's, will dopcind largely OII tho chaiao'or of the applicationsrooeivod.

'•KKSOUJTION.—Tho principles which should bo followed in thefielontitm of toxt-books in schools wero affirmed by the Government ofIndia sovnrnl years ago. An investigation into'tho •mnuner in whichthi-ne principles have boon followed in practice has satisfied theGovernor-General in Council that tho directions of tho Governmentof India have not unfrequently beeu ignored or contravened, and thatit is desirables to issue fresh instructions based on those laid down intho past, and to tako steps to ensure that those are strictly carried intopiaotico. In the present orders the Government of India propose toconfino themselves to a consideration of the que-lion, ns it a {foolsprimary and secondary schools and tlio lower dassns of high schoolswhich are not eugagod in the study of tcxt-hookn prescribed for thoUniversity examinations. Before proceeding to stiito tliu prinoiplesthat should bo followed in selecting text-books for schools of thisoharnot-er, tho Government of India think it desiiable to "ivo a briefaccount of the manner in which tho existing orders ouiho subjectoriginated. .

" f>. Tho question of tho constitution of the Committees may bo(irst inferred to. Tho Government of India contemplated that tlioI'risidcut of the Committees in each Provinio should bo tho Directorof Public Instruction, and that, among those associated with him, there-liotilil L»o a certain number of independent gentlemen. In fcho Nortb-W'estcni Provincns and Oudli, tlio Punjab, Burma, tho CentralProviiu'-H, nud Assam, tho Director is tho J'resident of tho Committee.In JMiidrna the President of the Committco is a Professor at a privatesollugo. In Bengt.l • thero aro throe Committees. Tho CentralCommittee is presided over by a Jndgo of tho High Court, and tholiihnr and Orissa Committees hy non-oflloiala. In tho HyderabadAssigned Districts thero is no Committee at nil. In Bombay therois no Committee' for the examination of books in secondary schools.L'hijv aro four Divisional Committees (tlio Kutiareso, Guzmti, Mnrathi,:ind Sindhi Committees) for tho examination of books used in primarycbools, each presided over by an Inspector ol Schools.

" Tlie Committees vary very much in sizo and constitution. InMadras there are 31 raembors, of whom 2U aro Europeans nud 10 aro11 the employment of Ooverniueut. Tho Central Committee inHengal consists of 24 members, of whom 5 are Europeans and 19mlivea of India. Fourteen members of it nro Hovcinment servantsnoptly in tho Education Department. The Bihar Committee isiomposi.'d of 31 natives and 2 Europeans, and .-contains ' 0 Govern-uout eorvantfi. Tho Orissa Com mitt GO conluins 5 J^iropenns and 11lutives, of whom 12 of its meiubois aro Govirnment bervaiita. In theBombay Presidency the mem horn of the Committees vary from 6 to 13,aid tho majority are native officers of the Education Department.. InUirma thoro is a Committee of 7 (5 Europeans), of whom 4 are inJroverniiK'iifc service. I n tlio North-Western Provinces and Oudhhero aie 40 members of tho Committee, of whom half hcloug to itx-ojficin. Tho remaindor are annually appointed : o by Hio Directorif Pub]io Instruction, 5 by the Jriseioniiry Education Union, and 10iy the Local Government. In the Punjab tho Committee consists of10 mombers, half appointed by Government and half by tho University..n tho Cuntral Provinces the Committee numbers 20, of whom 18 aroppoiuted ex-offieio and 12 are Govtrnm.ert servants. In Assam therero 10 members of tho Committeo for selecting books in Assamese, of>'hom 2. are Government servants. Tho text-books in English and.^eugali must be selected from tho liste prepared for the use of eohoolsa Bongal.

" 8 . 'J'ho oriiois of tho Government of India issued in 1881,•wliilo lea\ing matters of detail to tho Local Governments, contemplatedthat uniformity should be observed in regard to the general principlesfor tho sclectiou • of text-books. The account which is given above oftho orders now in forco showy that this essential objoci! ln:s not beenattained under tho present system; The Governor-General in Councilhas now determined that no time should be lost in bringing (he systemof selecting text-books into accord with tho principles which were laiddown long ngo, and which ho now desires to ro-nflirm. But beforedoing so ho wishes to record his cordial and oropluuic approoiaUun.of the great assistance which tho Piovincial Text-book Oi'iunritteesbavo, for so man)' j'oars past, rend.ord to tho cuu.<o of education. Thofact that tho original basis upon which (heso insitutioim wcro con-stituted has in sonio ro^]ieo)s boon lost sight of, in uo way detraotsfrom the value of their labours— labours which have in tho majorityof ea6os been prompted solely by a BOUSO of.public duly.

" 9 . In tlio first place, His Excellency in Counoil desires that theposition of the Text-book Couimittco towards the •Educational Depart-ment hud tho Local Governments and Administrations shall for thofuture bo more precisely defined. I t wns never intended that thosoCommittees should themselves prefcribo tho text-books to bo adoptedin schools.- Their functions should bo strictly limited io advis-ingthe Local Governments am] Administrations. Tlio ultimate decisionas to tho text-books which arc to bo preueribed or approved must rest'M'ith the Local Government or Administration, and nil lists o£authorized text-books should be periodically published under theauthority of tho Local Government in the official Guzetto. I t appealsto tlio Government of India that there is a danger, il Committees arorequired to examine n.uy text-book which may bo brought to theirnotice from '1113' eource whatever, that the duty of recommending texUbooks may fall into the hands of a few nionil:ers who may have moreleisure than tho rest.

IE it is toLend the resources of the Stato to the support of oortaiu schools, itoannot abrogate its right to a poworful voice in tho determination ofthe course of the studies which is thoro imparlod. Othorwiso itsresponsibility censes to be any moro than a nnmo.

"11 . The Text-book Committee of 1877 rocommended that thoCommittees ehould draw up a lint of suiluhlo books divided into twoclasses—tho first claxa comprieing books whioh might: bo used both inGovernment and in aidod schools, and the second comprising bookswhich, though not prescribed for use in Government schools, mightbo usod in aidod sohools. . It has already been mentioned that tho Gov-ernment of India, in passing orders • on this report, determined thatthcVo was no neceBBity to restrict aidod schools to tho USR of text-booksauthorized for Government institutions, but separate lists of toxt-booka—tho ono for Stato and tho other tor aided sohools—havo not beenprepared. As a mattor of praotico, the text-hooka included in thelists framed on the advice of tho Text-book Committees have, as statedin paragraph 7 of this ltesolulion, boon in most Provinces used inaided as well aa in Government sohools. In tho opinion of thoGovernment of India, it should bo definitely laid down that no booknot authorized by the Local 'Government or Adinriuistration shouldbo used iu any school which roceives support from public roveuues.In tho schools maintained by tho Government or by Local Bodies tilargo list of toxt-books is not requirod. Tho c<".rse of instructionill each class of school 'should bo laid down, and iho loxt*books forenoh particular course absolutely proscribed. In thu easo of aidedschools a widor choice is required, and earo should ho lakeu thattho authorized lists are BO framed as to nliord it. But the Managersof such schools should, as a condition oC receiving a grunt-in-nid fromGovernment, bo required to adopt no text-hook which is not includedin the list ol text-books authorized by tho Local Government withoutthe sanction of tho Local Government. Tho Government of Indiaentortain no doubt that, if the Manager of an aidod school wishes toadopt a text-book not included iu tho authorized list, the Local Gov-ernment will give every facility to have tho book referred to thoText-book Committee, with a viow to ils inclusion under tho ordersof Government in that list should it bo found to bo a suitable work.Tho functions of tho Stato do not extend to the prescription of thetext-books in unaided schools. But tho Government has a direotinterest in tho course of instruction in sohools which do not tseok iteaid financially, and, in tho opinion of the Governor-Gc-noral iu Gouncilthe condition may fairly be made that candidates from nn unaidecBcbool :u'O liablo to bo oxcludod from auy publio examination, i'o:passing which a nortilicnto is given, or from competition for si Uovernir.cnt scholarship if text-books which are disapprove-! by Govcnunonare iu uso at the school in question.

My 0'ivnlitr No. l'V3 o[ 1003 Rooms to havo given rise to somemisi't'iiccplion, ami some Inspecting Ollicors aro ol opinion, that somuctr.iilial.inj; of accounts will bo required in future, under thatCircular th;d it will interfere with tho other important aud legitimateportions of inspection work. Tho matter of embezzlement of moneyby olllooir, through whose hands money passes is a most troublesomeand difficult altnir, and any plan, euch as has been proposed" by one ottho In :ppi loin of Schools, by •which the Deputy Inspectors will help anInspector in examining- tho acnounts, seems to me to bo an advantage.

2. I t is not expected tliut Inspectors of Schools should do vote awhole day or moro to a ruinuto examination of the accounts of a school,or that they s-hould curtail tho number oftheir visits to schools to makelinio tor BUO.1I a thorough overhauling of a year's or six months'accounts, Tho oNiunination of iiccounts is ouly a pait (und not thomost irupcii'iivnt |nu-t.) oC inspection.

'•}. !U would bo s\ipoi'UuouB to point out that whiln it ia very rarelypossible in praclieo lor tho Head of a Department or of a branch ofthe a'huiiiiKtr;vHon, personally, to" look into all the minuto details ofwork, ijovi-'ruinent is quito justified in holding an officer responsiblefor llio coiu.liKit of his subordiimtoB.

4. "What is wnntod is that each Inspector should be able topvoduco su'.;h n morul iniluonco over his subordinate officers, that suchKubnnliu;iti.'!i sin mid loci sure of being found out if they did anythingwrong. 'With thin viow, tbe Inspector on tho occasion of his visit cant:i.ki« ii n.niilh at haphazard, and go through tho accounts for that'period,'and then ho may also take a good many isolated days in thev<::iv, nud, with tho help of tho class Registers, Collection-Books nndTreasury riceipls, try to ascertain "whether tho accounts are accuratelykept, and tho wholo of the nionoy received is "regularly sent to theTreasury or not. directions may also bo givou that the Head Master,being f.orsjonnlly responsible lor the correctness of tho accounts of bisfchoo'l, filiould keep u strict oye over his clerks and office, and, over andubovo thi.'-:, that t]ie clovks may be changed every three- or four yearBtoOther appoiutinciits,

XIV.— IIUll.niNGS AND lVvUdiny litqinsilions.

Hoada of -Departments are authored to sanction by themselvesmust pass through three stages—

(1) Administrative sanction.(2) Preparation of, audsauction to, plans tind estimates.(3) Financial provision.

ii. Tho Hccond and third stogca concern (ho Public Works and thoFinancial Departments, but tho first concerns ilio initiating oflioora andthe d'-jartmonts interested. Administrative winctinn will bo given bythe Department of tho Secretariat which deals with tho ordinaryadministrative business of tho officer or department concerned, und inapplying for this, it will rest with tho ofliocrs themselves to provothe necessity, on administrative grounds, of tho work which theyrecommend tho Government to undertake. No application shouldreach Government which does not contain such a clear account of thomatter as shall enable it to decido, not only whether administrativesanction shall bo given to the project, but also what degree of urgency

'attaches to it. A rough calculation of the cost of tho work and -asketch of the ground plan should generally bo scut up; and, iiineoessary, the local Public Works officers may be nslicd for their adviceand assistance in preparing those: But regular plnns and estimatesshould in no case be prepared in this stage oil the proceedings.

.3. When administrative sanction-has been accorded and commu-nicated to the Public Works Department • of tho Secretariat, thatDepartment will issue the neceasaiy instructions for the preparation ofdetailed OBtimates and plauB, and arrangement will then be made,if possible, for the provision and allotment of funds.

4. Unless administrative sanction has been previously obtainedno work should be entered in the statement of demands which Headsof Departments and others are required to submit to tho Pul'lio WorksDepartment of the Secretariat on or before tho 15th November of eachyear for the provision of funds in the following financial year. Incases of urgency or in very exceptional oases, where tho necessity forthe work arises only a short time before tho statoment is duo, andcould not havo been foreseen, the officer preparing tho oslimato mayinclude the work, stating at the snme time in a note that administrativesanction has been or will be separately applied for.

5. In the case of piojects affecting buildings, such ns esoiso build-ings, which are not on tho books of tho Publio Works Deparl ment, but arebuilt ond repaired by the Civil Departments concerned, it may oftenbo found convenient to submit the plan and estimate with, the appli-cation for administrative sanction. Care must, however, he taken thatthis departure fioin the regular procedure laid down above is onlyresorted to M-hon no question can arise as to tho necesBity of theexpenditure. It is one of the objects of theso oiderB to save the wasteof time and labour that is involved in preparing plans and estimates ofprojects which are uftorwads rejected for administrative reasons. Forall- largo schemes, therefore, aud for any proposal that involvos' adeparture from the standard policy of the oflice or' department in suchmutters, administrative sanction should always be obtained before plansand estimates are prepared.

The lujtsing of grants. This procedure is uneconomical, and the works 1906-

io executed are not infrequently found to be unsatisfactory. .D. P. l.2. Repair-works can most convoniently be done to— ' ? ' l *I. Jail Buildings.— In April and May (oxoopt external oolor-wash-

ng which oan bo douo at any time).II. Educational Buildings.—In June and July, when they are closed

in iiooount of the summer vacation, except in the Darjeeling Division,where ropnirs to such, buildings can best bo douo from Douember toMarch, as the long vacation iu the hills is during those months.

/ / / . Civil and Criminal Courts Buildings.—All internal repairsluring the Puja holidays.

IV. ResidentialBuildiiujs.—-From 1 fit October to 31st Poootnber.3. With a view to carrying out repair works more systematically

ind economically, I am direoted to tiny that tho following procedureihould bo observed in future: —

A, 11 repair estimates for Jail and Educational buildings should besubmitted to the Superintending Engineer's oflice by tbo Executiveind District Engineers by tho 20th March, and the estimates shouldbe sanctioned by the Superintending Engineer on tbo issue of theBudget estimates. All other repair estimates should be submitted toLbe Superintending Eugineor not later than (ho 15th August. Therepair works can bo commoncod b}' tbo Jet October nt tho latest, bywhich date all repair estimates should have beou sanctioned aud fundsillottod.

4. Tbo instructions given heroin will, it is expootod, ensure repairworks being done in a systomatio manner, aud are not intended toprevent a Superintending Engineer from making such nrrangemontator carrying out works as may best suit tho convenience of looal olficersand the public in general.

6. It ip hoped that, if due oaro is taken and proper arrangementsare mado boforehftnd, it will not bo necessary to have any annual repairworks oarried out between the 31st Docember and the 31&I March BBhas hitherto been tho practioe.

This Colloge is practically isolated,and many'I'rofossors, .students, eorvanLs, &.<)., reside there.It is therefore ndvisablo to require tho Lledionl Officerto livo on tho promises, and if this is made a. conditionof. his nppointiuct.it, it is nocossury to allow him freoquarters.

(/<) The Head Clerk, Foremnu, Coinponndors, Head LaboratoryAssistant, Agricultural Lecturer aud Rrofodsors of thoCivil Engineering Colloge, Sibpur. From the nature

. . of duties these o/Iicors havo to perform, it is consideredadvisablo that tlioy should continue to havo tho privilegeof free quarters which they now onjoy.

3. l'n accordance with tho abovo principles, I am to submit two listsElbowing (A) the class of officers who should always get froe quartersand (B) the class of officers to whom free quarters should be allowedonly during the oocupanoy of the present incumbents.

Of those mentionedin list A, Ncs,. 1—23 are included in tho list received with your letterNo. 29C.W.B., of the Gth January 1899, addressed tu the PublioWorks Department of this Government, and it is in resjieot of theothers that tho sanction of tho (lovortimont of India is requested.With regard to list B, it would appear from tho list altaolieii to theGovernment of India's No. 2DC.W.B., dated the Uth January 1899,that in tho caso of Nos. 1—11, tho privilege of free quarters is allowedto ouch sueoesHivo occupant of the pn<:f,s roi'orrod to, whereas undor theprinciples outlined above suoli Is not uooossary. Tho other otHcors inthis list, viz., Nos. 12—lf», havo also hitherto enjoyed freo quarters,but without- tho requisite tiuiotion. Mis Honour, however, considersthat to suddonly withdraw this privilege in tho ease of these 10 officerswould entail some hardship on thorn, and I am therefore desired to aekthnt tho Government of India will sanction tho enjoj'nieut by thorn ofthe privilego in question as Jong as ihey hold their present posts; futureincumbents being required to pay rent in Accordance with tha ordinaryruIcH.

Iiciululinn Ac*. S19—331, (luted (he 16th May 1306, by the Goet. ofIndia, Home Dtpt.

IN the lluiuu Di'pnrlmoul letter of the 21th January 1905, LocalG->vornnii)tit:! worn asked to furnish tho Government of India with theirviews- upon the general question of providing quarters for Principalsand l'rofessoi'3 of (.alleges, and to submit dofinite proposals for givingJ'rei> accommodation to ono or two officers at each Government ArtsI'ollcge, together with an estimate of tlio approximate cost of suoh an.arrangement. The Government of India expressed the opinion thattlm provision of fruo reaidonoe should undoubtedly carry with it theobligation on purl of tho ocoupaufc to discharge certain specified dutiesin connection with the supervision of the students and the direction oftlioir studies and recreations.

2. The replies received from LOCHSI Govornments show that theyhrivn generally uceoptod the proposition that Principals and a certainnumber of 1'rotopaovn in Govoviunoi.it Arls Colleges should ho providedwith fine u'lcoinniodarion. In tho cuurso of the discussion,, twosubsidiary questions have been raised, viz.—(l)whether the concessionplionld be resti icted to oflicers of Arts Colleges only, nnd (2) whetherit should bo limited to officers belonging to the superior service. TheIfovi'iunient of India do not think thoro is sufficient reason for restriet-iug the scheme to Arls Oollogos, nor do they consider it desirable thatmiy limitations* should h> In id down as to the status of tho officer forvih'ini free quaiI.DIK should be providod. Locul Governments genorally•joiisider tliat il. irs uo< desirahlo to lay down prcoiso directions as to thefiTi'lilioiitf on which I'roo qunrtors should ho tonahlo, but it, is recognised!!i.-;l, <.i|fii:eiM residing in i|uarters provided by Government mayMI iMiriahly be lii-ld reypoimiblo for Fiipervising the students out. of•••n!!i;rii hiiurs and for seeing that tho buildings and grounds areiii':inf;iiiiecl in a [iroper niaimor. On this understanding the' ii vrinnr-l Jenoral in Council is content to Ieavo it to the Locali. ioM'riinie.iils to enforoo BUCII conditious as may bo consideredni'i'i .--,ary anil jiraolieablo.

•'. Tlio proposml.i wit.li regard to tho provision of fro© quartersN.r i diicatiomil ollicors wliich tlio Govornmont of India havenceordingly decided to adopt may be stated as follows:—

(n) when ft Hubytnntiul proportion of tho students of a Govern-ment college aro resident in hostels adjoining or near totho collego building, tho Local Govornmont may, without thosanction of tho Govornmeut of India, provide free quartersfor not more than tho Principal and one Professor, ontlm condition that defiuito duties aro assigned to the officersthua yrivilfgod in oonneofion with the supervision andI'liTfiieul ivulfnro of tho fitudtints.

Government J.tinds.

(b) in any case in •which it is considered desirable to extend the ;privilege to more than two ofiioers, tho Local Governmentfjhall refer the matter for tho consideration of the Govern-ment of India, with a, full explanation of the ronsons for1,1 ID proposed oxtonsion;

(c) allowances will not ordinarily bo givon in liou of froo quartersand no such allowances mny bu given without tho sunctionof tlie Government of India;

(-/) tlio provision of residences being diroetly and immediatelyconnected with tlio duty of supervision, shall in no oaso beropiirdod as a right or olaimuil by Runiorily, but theresidences shall bo assigned to those uioniboiB of tho collegebtulf who are considered bout iittud for tho duty.

I HAVE the honour to say that from sovoral cases which have comeup to me it is clour that officers of tho Department aro not generally Ci

aware of the rates admissible for tlio construction of- residences for thovarious olassos of Educational officers.

2. Tho result is that, when plans and estimates aro submitted,frequently the amounts estimated by the Publio Works Departmentare either in excess of or less than tho amounts admissible. It isdesirable therefore to inform the officers of the Department- what ratesnro admissible, 60 that when they <;nll for plans and estimates forresidonoos for any particular class of oifiners, the}' nuiy be able toinform tho Public Works Department what are the amounts admissible.Thoy are—

(1) in the case of mouibers of tho Indian Educational Service,Rs. 13,964;

(2) in tne oase of mombers of tho Provincial EducationalServioo, Rs. 7,209;

(3) in tho ease of mombers of tho. Subordinate EducationalSorvico, Rs. 2,190; and

(4) in the case of members of the Lowor Subordinate Educa-tional Servioe, Rs. 524.

lG.-MUNICIPAL TAXES ON GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

Circular No. 12X.—M., dated the "25th Mny 1005, bii Uw Oovt, ofBengal, Municipal Dcpt.

1 AM directed to address you on the subject oE thopaymentof muni- .,cipnl tuxos imposed on Government buildings which avo ocoupird by v/n-.'Government servants for tho purposo of rcsidouco, whether on payment 1S>U

(if rent or rout-free. „2. Tho general rulo to bo followed is that laid down in Publio

Works Department Circular No. 8T.—Q-., dated 26th May 1/J04, viz.,that the oocupier must pay nil tonants' taxes, and that Governmentwill pay the owners' or landlords' taxo?. TJnrior tho Bengal MunioipalAct tho tenants' taxes include tho wator-rato (seotion 279), lighting-rate (section 310) and latrine-tax (section 322), while the owner pays

• the rate on holdings (section 103) or the corcosponding rate leviedunder section 89 in places whore the tax on persons is in forco. InCalcutta half tho consolidated rate is payable by the owner and theothor half by tho occupier. Under paragraph 1CG8-1 (e) (ii) of thoTublio Works Code tho owners' taxes payablo on Government buildingsshould bo included in tho rent charged in respect of such buildings, andsteps are now bein-g taken to revise tho rents where necessary iuaccordance with these orders.

3. Furthor enquiry has shown that the orders already issued in theubovo Circular require to bo supplemented in several respects, and 1 amaccordingly to convey the following in.-lruetions : —

(1) The rent, including owners' taxes, will still bo subject to thelimit of 10 per cent. oE tho salary of the occupier.

(2) All municipal taxes will bo paid by Government in cases•wlioro tho salary of tho ocoupier is less than 11?. 50amonth,and may, with tho snnotion of tho Head of the Department,be paid where the,otlioer is obliged, for tho proper perform-jvncu of his duties, to occupy a part of a Governmentbuilding or block of buildings which is assrssod as a singloholding, as for instance a II.ouso Surgeon in a hospital oran Inspector of Polioo occupj'ing quarters in tho polico-liues.

(3) TVhoro a building is used partly for Govorumont purposesand partly as a ronideiino, and tho ocoupior is not obligedto live in it for tho propor pnrtormanco of his duties, thooccupier's taxes will bo divided botwonn him and Govern-ment in tho proportion which thocapital cost ol' the resi-dential part of tho building boars to tho capital ooet of theremainder.

(1) It will bo open to nny ofUeor whoso rent ie raised, owing totheso orders, to make a representation on tho subject, if hoconsiders that there are reasonable grounds for doing so.
