advanced pcieuco; and wo aro far from under-rating tho good eil'ect
which hns thus boon produced upon the loarnod clns'os of India, who
priy hereditary veneration to those ancient language*, and whoso assist-
anoo in the spread of education is so valuable from the honourable nnd
influential position which they ocoupy among their fellow-countrymen.
But such attempts, althougli fchoy may usefully oo-opomfo, can only he
considered as auxiliaries, and would be a very inadequate foundniiou
for any gp71er.1l sohomo of Indian education.
JO. Wo Imvo nJfo received most satisfactory evidenco of tbo Inch
alfnnuiHints in English literature and European scienoo which hnvu
boon acquired of Into years by somo of the natives of India. But this
success lies boon confinod to but a small number of persons; .and \ru
are dasirous of extending far moro widely the moans of acquiring gr-n-
ornl European knowledgo of a less high order, hut of such n ehanirUT
as 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 reasons
vrbifh we have given ahovo, that they should bo maclo fiirailiar with t lie*
works ol! Eurojiean authors, and witli the results of tho thought; and
labour of Europeans on tho subjects of every description upon which
knowledge is to ho imparted, to . fhoin; and to extend the-means of
imparting this knowlodge must bo tho object of nnj' general rj-Hfem of
educntion.
11. Wo have next to consider tho manner in which our object is
to 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'Inptnlious
of liuropean works in the Vernacular langnngcs of Jmh'.i, n»i• 1 to tho
very imperfoct shape in which European knowledge ia |o ho found in
any works in the learned languages of the .East, foi' those who desired
to obtain a liberal education, to begin by tlie mastery of the I'Jnplish
languugo as a key to tho litorat-uro of J5uro-pe; rind n knowlodgo of
Jilnglisb will always be essonlial to thoso natives of India who a-spire to
a high order of education.
12. I n somo parts of India, moro espcciiilly in the iiumocH.ito
vicinity of tho Presidency towns, whrro persons who passes" n know,
ledge of English are preioircd to others in many employments, publio
ns well as private, a very moderate proficieucy in tho English Imigu.npe
is often looked uj>on, b}' those who attend school instruction, ns the end
and object of their education, rather than as a necessary step to tho
improvement of their general knowledge. We do not deny (lie value
in many respects of the mere faculty of .'peaking nud writing English,
but we foar that a tondoncy has been oroafed in these dishioty, unduly
to neglect the study of the Vernacular languages.
13. J t is neither our aim nor de-iro to substitute tho English lnn-
guo-go for tho Vernaoular dialects of the country. We hav.j iihv.-i.ya
been most sensible of tho importance of tho uso of the Innirinu'vy
•which alono ere undorgtood bj' the great mass of tlie population. Tlv ,'•

JJespatch of 1S5J
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 and
liberal coui"--o of education, by conferring Aondemioal degrees as evidences
of attiunimnts in tlm difleront branobos of ait and soiouce, and by
•adding niurka of honour for thoso who may desire to oompote for
honorary distinction.
2,3. Tim (Jounoil of Education, in the proposal to which we have
alluded, took tiro London Univovsity as their model; and we agroo with
them, 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 with
advantage, 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 poriodioal
examinations 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 upon
auoh persons as, having been entered as candidates according to tho rulea
which may bo fixed in this rospect, and having produced, from any of tho
"affiliated institutions," whioh will be enumerated on the foundation
of thn Universities, or bo from timo to time added to thorn by Govern-
ment, cortifioatcs of conduot, and of having pursued a refji.W courso
of study for a given timo, shall have also passed at tlo Umvoi-silws suoh
an examination ns may be required of them. I t may 1 o ad.visnbln to
dispense with the attendance required at tho London U n a '.u-sity for tho
Matriculation examination, aud to substitute some mode of Entrance
examination which may secure a certain amount of knowledge in
the candidates for degrees, without making thf-ir attendance at, tho
Universities necessary, previous to tbo final examination.
28. The examination, for dogreos will not inolud.o any (subjects
oonneot-ed;with religious bolief ; «and tho afliliatod institutions will bo
under the management of persons of every variety of religious persua-
sion. As in England, various institutions in immediate connexion with
the Church of England, tho Presbyterian College at Grorniartln-n, the
Roman 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 London
University is empowered to receive certificates for degrees. So in
India, institutions conducted by all denominations of Christians,
Hindoos, Mnhomedans, Parsees, Sikhs, Buddists, Jains, or any othor
religious persuasions, may be affiliated to the Universities, if they are
found to afford the requisite course of study, and can be depended upou
for the certificate of conduot whioh will bo required.
2i). Tho detailed regulations for the examination for rtrgroos
should 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 '•uil
for 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'inl
ical dogreo as the recognition of a liberal eduenfi-m, v, 1-., • •;].

bo directed to the studios which tiro neoof-sury to. success in the viuiom
aotive professions of lifo. Wo shall, therefore, have done as muoh as a
Government can tlo to place the benofits of education plainly mid prno-
tioally .before* tlio higher clasRes in India.
41. Uur attention should now bo directed to a consideration, if
possible, still nioro important., and onp which has been hitherto, we »ro
bound lo admit, too lmich neglected; namely, how u?oful and practical
laiowlcdjro, 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 any
education worthy of flio mime by their own unaided eiTorls; ana \vo
dp!: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 uro
ready to ••unotion a. considerable, increase of expenditure.
•k!. Hohoolr.—whoso objoct should bo, not to trainhighly a few
yon'.h:-, but to provide more opportunities than now exist for the acquisi-
tion of moh an improved education as will make those who'.posKoss it
icoro .usofui nioinbers of sooiety in every oonditiou of life—should.
exist in every district in India. These, schools should bo subject to
constant and careful inspection; and their piipils might ho encouraged
by scholarships being instituted at other;'institutions which would bo
tenablo an roAvarrls for merit 03' the host of thoir number.
4!5. Wo include in this class of institutions those which, like tho
Zillah Schools of Bengal, the district Government Anglo-Vernacular
Schools of Bombay, and suoh as have been established by (J10 Uajah of
Burdwan and other native gentlomon in different parts of ludia, uso
the lSnglish language as the ohief medium of instruction; as well as
others 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 has
been as y.ot curriod out, to convoy the highest oiur.s of inptructiou
which can now bo taught through the medium of (he vernacular
languages.
44. Wo include those Anglo-Arernacular and Vernacular Schools
in tho samp class, beoause wo are unwilling to maintain tho broad lino
of separation whioh at presont exists between sohools iu whioh tho
media for imparting instriction .diflnr. The knowledfro oonveyod is,
no doubt, nt tlie presont Unto, much higher in the Anglo-Vcrucular
than in tlie Vernncular Schools; but the dillernnco will become less
marked, and tho latter moro elllciont, as the gradual enrichment of tho
Vernacular laugungos in works of education allows their schemes of
study to bo enlargod, and as a more numerous class of schoolmasters
is raisod up able to impart a suporior education.
45. I t is indispensable, in order fully and efficiently to oarry out our
views as to these sohools, that their masters should, possess a knowledge
of English in order to acquire, and of the Vornaoulars so as readily to
convej', useful knowledge to their pupils.; hut wo are aware that it Li
impossiblo to obtain at present tho Errvioes of a sufliciput nuriliT of
persons so qualified, and that such a class must be graduallv Ci'll-.c'r-J
and traiued in tho manner to which we shall hereafter altudo. J.11 ih<i

India which lias bet n purmed witJi obvious advantage by the Ooni'nitieo
of Council here, namely, to appropriate the gr.mts to sj>ccijk obj-c/s,
and not (except, perhaps, in tho case of normal schools) to apply them
in the form of n'ruplo contributions in aid of tho gonerol expenses of H
school. The nugmonfation of tho salaries of the head teaohcrs, and
IO r,upply of juuior teachers, will probably bo found in India, as -with
'>, (o l)c tho iiir^l imjiovtnnt objects to which the grants can ordinarily

ule<iuutp supply of sehocl hooks, may be. required; but the appropria-
,ioiL «[ .the grant in each pmliruliir instanco should be regulated by tho

to grants-in-aid. Tl.iey should also assist in the establishment of
school's, by their ndviee, wherever they may have opportunities of
ioing so.
57. We confide- tho practical adaptation of the general principles
wo have laid down n.s to gi"xnta-in-nid to your discretion, aided by the
c'3uf.\ational departments ofx tho different Presidencies. In carrying
inio ellcct our \iows, •which apply aliko to all schools and institutions,
wlmllior mulo or female, Anglo-VerusLcular or Vernacular, it is of tha
pjtentust importance that tlie conditions under which schools will be
nasiisletl should bo clearly and publicly placed boforo the natives of India.

loraisoth') ohnracler of the " indigenous schools-," which arc, at present,
not. only very inuHiciciit in quality, but of exceedingly precarious
duration, as ia amply shown by the statistics collected by Mr. Adam
in Ticngal and P-o'har, and from the very important information we
havo received of lain .years from the North-Wcstorn Provinces. I n
organizing sunh a system, we cannot do better than to refer you to
(lin manner iu whirh tho operations of Mr. Itcid have boou conducted
in the North-Wottorn Provinces, and to the instructions given by him
to the Ziliah and Porgunnah Visitors, and containod in tlio Appendix
to his First Report.
61 Wo desire to see local management under Government inspec-
tion and assisted by granfe-in-aid, taken advantage of wherever it is
possible to do BO, and that no Government Colleges or Sohoo.ls shall be
founded, for the future,'in any district where a suflioieut number ol
institutions exist, capable, "with assistance from the Stato, of supplying
the local demand for education, but, in order fully to carry out tho
views wo have expressed with rogar.d. to the adequato provision of
schools throughout the country,, it will probably be necessary, for some
years, to supply the wants of particular parts ot India by the establish-
moot, temporary support, and management of places O r education of
every class in districts whero there is a little or no prospect o£ adoquato
local efforts being made for this purpose, but where, nevertheless, they
are urgently required. •
62 We look forward to the time when any general system of
education entirely provided-by Government may be discontinued, with
the gradual advance of the system of grants-m-aid, and when ninny ok
tho existing Government institutions, especially those of tho higher
order maybe safely closed, or transferred to the managomont of local
bodies under the control of, and aided by, the State. .But it is far .from
our wish to check tho spread of education in the slightest degree .by the
abandonment of a single school to probable dooay; and wo ..therefor*
entirely confido in your discretion, and in that of the different local
authorities .while keeping this objeot steadily in view, to act with
caution, 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-which
we have already more than once referred as a connecting link between
the different grades of educational institutions, will require somo revi-
' '••„ •••-, Bion and extension in canning out o-tir-enlarged
2 , 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. Zilkh
schools with tho central colleges, by attaching to thelaUor ydiolarships
to which Iho best scholars of tho formor nug.lit.be eligible, moro fully
carried out; and also, as the. measures wo now propose assume au
oreanised form, that the same system may bo adopted -with regaruto
Bohoolsof a lower description, and that the best pupils of the lufoaor
schools ehall bo provided for by means o£ Scholarships in schools of a
hieher order, so that superior • talent in every class may roceivo Uuit
encouragement and development which.it deserves. Iho amount of tho
stipendiary Scholarships should bo fixed at such a sum as may be eon-
eidered sufficient for the maintenance of tho holders of thorn at tho
colle-es. or schools to which they, are attached, and which may often be
at a distance from the home of the students. We think it desirable
that this system of scholarships should be carried out not only in
connexion with those places of eduoation which are under the iramc.lmto
euperintondonce of tho'Slate, but in all educational institutions wluoh
will.now bo brought into..our general system. .

I.—EDUCATIONAL TOMCY. 17
Despatch of 1854.
•68. We cannot do better than refer you to the plan whioh has
been adopted in Great Britain for this object, andTOhi oh appears to vis
to he capalrlo of easy adaptation to India, It mainly consists, as you
will perceive, on reference to the minutes of the Committee of Council,
copies of which we enclose, in the selection and stipend of pupil
teachers (awarding a small payment to the masters of the schools in
whioh they tire employed, for their instruction out of school hours) ;
thoir ultimate removal, if they prove worthy, to normal schools; the
issue to them of certificates, on the completion of their training in those
normal schools ; and in securing to them a sufficient salary when they
are afterwords employed as Echoolmnstcrs. This system should be
carried out in India, both in the Government Colleges and Schools, and,
by means of grants-in-aid, in all institutions which are brought under
Government inspection. The amount of. the stipends to pupil teachers
and students at normal schools should be fixed with groit care. The
• former should receive moderato allowances rather above -the 6ums which
they would earn if they left school, and the stipends to the latter
should be regulated by the same principle which we havo laid down
with respect to scholarships.
69. You will be called upon, in carrying these measures into
effect, to take into consideration the position and prospects of the
numerous 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 may
require to bn adapted to the revised regulations in this respect; and
our wish is that the profession of schoolmaster may, for the future,
afford inducompnts to the natives of India such as aro held out in
other branches of the public service. The provision of such a class of
schooltnnsters as we wish to see must be a work of time; and, in'
encouraging the "indigenous schools," our present aim should be to
improve tho teachers whom wo find in possession," and to take care not
to provoke tho. hostility of this class oi: persons, whoso influence is so
great over tho minds of the lower classes, by superseding them where
itis possible to avoid it. They should, moreover, bo enoouraged to
attend the normal schools and classes which may hereafter be instituted
for this class of teachers. '
70.. Equnlin importance to tho training of schools-masters is (ho
provision of "Vernacular School books, which shall provide European
information 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 deficiencies
might be readily and speedily supplied by tho adoption of a courso
recommended by Mr. M. Elphiustone in 1825, namely—" that
the best translations of particular books, or tbe host olementan
treatises in speoified languagos, should bo advertised for, and liborally
reworded."
71. The aim should be, in compilations and original compositions,
(to quote from one of Mr. Adam's valuable reports upon the stnto of
education 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 lower
situations, 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'ov
tlio special duties' of tho various Departments in whieli they aro Reeking
employment, ns !ma been the ease in tho Bombay Presidency. Wo
confidently commit: fho encouragement of educated, in pxeforeneo to
uneducated, men to tl-.o dilforont officers who arc responsible for .their
solection ; and wo cannot interfere by any further rogulatior.s to f'ilcv
their freo o.hoioo in a; matter of whioh they bear tho solo responsibility.
77. W o aro sanguine -enough to beliovo that some eft'oc-t has al-
rondy been produced by tho improved education of tbo public service of
India. Tho ability and integrity of a largo and inerou.sing number of
the Native Judgos, to whom tho greater part of tJio civil jurisdiction iu
India is now committed, nnd the high estimation iu which many nruonq;
them aro held by their fellow-countrynion, is, iu our opinion, much to
be attributed to tho progress of education among (li-e.so olli-cers,- and to
their adoption along with it of that high moral tone which pMTmlea
the general litoraturo of Jûropo. Nor is it among tlio lu'gher oflioers
alone that wo have direct evidence of the advaninge wliich I!K [iil.lio
derives from;, the employment of educated men. Wo quote l'rjin tlio
last 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'lio
best poesiblo ovidenoo hns been furnished," say t.lio local' Commitoo,
" that Bomo of tho es-studonts of the College of Dacca liavo conijilolely
succeeded 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 and
npplause of all classcn, who, though 'they may not practise, yet know
how to admixo real honest}' aud integrity of purpose."
78. But, howovor largo tho number of appointments' ucdor
Government may be, tho views, of tho natives of India should bo di-
rected to tlio far wider and more important sphoro of usefulness aud
advantage which a liberal education lays open to thorn ; and suoli pruo-
tical benefits arising from improved knowledge should bo constantly
impressed upon them hj thoso who know their feelings, and have.
influence or authority to advise or direct their efforts. Wo refer, as an
example in this . respect, with . mingled pleasuro and regret, to tho
eloquent addresses dolivered by the lato Mr. Betliuno, when President
of the Council of Education, to the studonts of tho Kishnaghur and
Daoca Collegee.

and to point out tho parts of our .goueml plan which arcs ino.st dui; ii.nf.
in each.
8G. I n Bengal, education, through tho. medium of tlie Fn-li-it
Itinguago, 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 >r

!'ii;r. siillii-ii'iil provision may bo found to oxist hi tunny parts of the
I'liintiy for the "dwntion of tl\o middle and higher classes, iiulopen-•
iti-nt of O10 Government funtilutioiis, which may then bo closod. as bits

UJiin.'tgouiont. ' . •
87. Very IlHlo has, however, boon hitherto done in Bengal for
tlm cdiu.'ntion. of l!u.- iruu-s <>f l)u< people, cBpocially for their insiruotion
through tli*1. inmliuTii of tho.Vornufnilnr l.'ingunges. A few Vernncnlar
Holioolii were foimitod ))v ' i-ovormimnt iu 1844, of which'only. 38 now

Mducaiioii, it si [mowed tliat, "thoy -woro in a languishing state, and
bail not fulfill'''!1 ihu expectations formed on thoir establishment."
83. AVe have perused, with considerable interest, the report of
Mr. "Robii>s'Mi, Inspector of tho Assam Schools, of whioh thore appear.

wtuction awrth niou.urcy as you may approve of, to oarry out Mr.
"J.{obujs.on's views. . -
80. Hut iho atlrmtion of tbo Government of Bengal should bo

inonl of indtf;,'!i).oiis nohools nud lor the education of tho lower, classes,

AVe h».ve already sufficiently indiRctid our viows ns to those ooltogoa,
and wo should be. glad to BOO thorn placed upon such a footing as may
.liinko theiu of i.M''ial.er practical -utility. The points which you hayo
rel'<-rrud to IIH. in ycur loiter of thn ;")(.]i of May, relative to tho estab-
lishineiih of a I'resi'l^ney (Sollego in Calcutta, will form tho subject of
a separate eoirmmniciilion.
l)l. ]u I.I10 !N'jrth-Western Provinces tho demand for education
is .HO liniifcd by cirouniRranrpo fully dotailed by tho Lioutenont-Qovor-
nor in ono ot liis. early reports, that it will probably be long boforo
Dmp.alch of I8r>4.
private efforts will become energetic enough to supply tlio phu-o oi tin*
establishment, support and nmnngement by Government, of ]>luccs of
. insfcructioii of tho highest grade, where there may be suflioieut rcasou
for their ..institution. • .
U2. At tho uaruo time, the system for the promotion of geueral
education, throughout the country by means oi tho inspection and
encouragement of indigenous schools, has laid tho foundation of i\ grrat
udvnncoinoiit in the education of the lower classes. Mr. Thomson
ascertained, 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'efiliuu
Provinces, appeared to him to offt-r tho stimulus of a direct interest for
tlio acquisition of so much knowledge, at least of readiug and writing,
of tho simplo rules of arithmetic, and of land.-measurement, as .would
cnablo each m;m to look after his own rights.
y>5. ]fe, therefore, organised asystem of eneouragonionf. of
indigenous schools, by meats of a cons-taut inspection by ziilah and
pergunnah visitors; under the superintendence of a, visitor-general,
while,.at tho head-quart qrs of. each tahsildar, a school was established
for tho. .purpose of teaching " readiug and writing the Vernacular
languago?, both Urdu and Hindi accounts, and the mensuration of land."
A sdiool-hoiiso is provided by Government, and the masters of tho
Tahsili schools .receive a small salary, and are further entitled to tha
tuition fees paid by tho pupils, of whom none oreeducritoJ gratuitously,
excejit "on rocouiniondation given by village 6chool-niastoi8 who may
bo on tho visitors' list." A certain sum is annually allotted to each
zillah for tho reward of dpgerving teachers and scholars ; and tlie atten-
tion of tho vibitor-geuerol was expressly directed to the pioparntion of
elementary scJiool-books in tho Vornaoular lunguage, which nro sold
through tlio agciioy ol' the zillah and the pergunnah visitors. Wo shall
bo prupored to Rauotion the gradual extension of somo such system as
this to. the oihor districts of tho. Agra Presidency, and wo have already
referrod to it as the modot by which the efforts of other i'rosideneies for
the same object should be guided. ' .
91. In tlio Prefiidoncy of Bombay the oharaefor of tho education
conVeyod in tho Anglo-Vernnoular Colleges is almost, if not quite, equal
to that in 3Jerigal;'.nnjl the Elphinstone Institution h an instance of
a college conducted in the main upon the principle of grant-in-aid,
which we desire to see. more extensively carried out. Considorablo
attention has also been paid in Bombay to education through the me-
dium of tho Vernacular languages. It appears that 21G Vcruaoular
Schools arc under the manfigeinent of the Board of Education, and that
tho numbor of pupils attending them is mpro than 12,000. TIKMO aro
threo Inspoctors ot the Districtfc'chools,one of whom (Malmdoo Govind
Shastri) is a native of India. The schools ore reported to be improving,
and masters trained in tho Government Colleges have been recently
appointod to some of thom with the happiest efreots. These.results aro
•veny creditable to the Presidency of Bombay;- and we trust that, each
Government Sohool will now be made a centre from wTrioh tii.-»
indigenous schools of tho adjapont districts may be inspected aud
encouraged.

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 Directors
that 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, and
because among the members of that aorvioe the best qualified persona
would bo most likely to be mot with. But at the same time it was
directed that nouo of the appointmonts should be reserved for members
of the Covenanted Sorvice, to the exclusion of others, either Europeans
or Natives, who might bo better qualified to fill them ; and tho great
importance was pointed out of selecting persons, not only qualified for
the duties of the department, hut calculated also to command tho
con fidenoe of the Natives. The spirit of the instructions of tbe Court
of Directors, with regard to the classes from whom the ollioers of tho
department 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 ].) hectors
of Publio Instruction, and tho several appointments of Inspectors wore
filled indiscriminately by Civil Servants, Military and Medical OJfioorB,
and individuals unconnected with any of those services. In (he
Punjab, 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. In
Bombay, tho first Director, Mr. Erskine, lias been succeeded by a
gentleman who wns previously a practising Barrister, and nmong
the present Inspectors, it is believed that thme are not in all tho Presi-
dencies more than two or three members of the Civil Servico.
6. The Universities have been constituted, as desired by tho Court,
on the general plan of the Uuiversily of London:
U^r«"u" 9 n t °f t h e scheme provides for an Ji'ntrance" examination
for the training of tho passed candidates at
affiliated institutions; for the grant of degrees in Arts, Medicine, L.aw
aud Civil Engineering ; and for tho examination for honours of thoso
who have obtained the degree of Baoholor of Arts, the passing of which
will carry with it the higher degree of Master of Arts.
7. At the first Entrance examination to the Calcutta University,
held in March 1857, ono hundred and sixty-two candidates successfully
passed the lest for admission, of whom ono hundred and thirteen wore
. pupils from Government Colleges and Schools, and forty-fivo from
institutions supported by individuals or associations, the remaining

atfendinfr the tollogos in tho Lower Provinces in 1 8 J 1 - 5 5 and those in

reports rn^jx'f.ting tt.lucn.tion in. the North-Western Provincos huve
beou received for a lator period than the year 185<l-5t5,
.10. in. Madras, tho'High School has boon remodelled* and formed
into nn institution somewhat resembling tho Presidency Oollogo at Cal-
cutta; but, in conscquenoo of the loss advanced state of education
throughout tho Presidency gonorally, the Madras ColJoge does not'
take so high a wing;e, and partakes loss of a collegiate character. I n
the Provinces, four Provincial Schools havo bnon established, which it
"in hoped "will event usdly bo formed into Provincial Colleges, and which
will give an education qualifying for admission into the higher institu-
tion at Madras.
11. I n liombay, where provision, as nbr>ve remarked, was niado
for imparting an education of a high order in the two Government or
'yj/rtst-'G-ovcrnmont Collegiate Institutions, tho favourable impressions
which formerly prevailed, founded . on the reports- of tho nunuul
examinations as to tho results of the course of instruction pursued in
them, have recently been much diminished. The studonts truined in
the institutions in question, on being subjected to the test of an
examination conducted by individuals unconnected with the colleges,
havo been found to fail in PO tnariy of the most ordinary and essential
qualities of well-trained scholars, tlint it can only bo shpposod flint tho.
reports o£ former years had led to a very erroneous ostiinato of tho
acquirements of the ptudeut9 who had then passod the oxnraiuation.
Tho disappointment arising from this .discovery was felt, not only by
those who had interested themselves in tho promotion of general
education, but also by all thnso classes from which the students of the
"colleges in question havo been heretofore -supplied ; and the result has
lioi-n a groat falling off in tho attendance ut both tho K'jihir.stono
Institution and the Poona College Ellortft have been mad' 1 to lemov.o.
this feeling, as well as to improve the course of iuRtruotinu in tho
colleges, and it is understood'that tho number of studonls is now
- gradually increasing. I t may be remarked that tho failurps thus
brought to light resulted from a-coiirsn. of instruction niranged long
beforo Grovo.rnniont assumed tho direct con-rol of edueatioival operations.'
at Bombay, and that tho oxposure of tho delusive eyslfm jiu-r.-iud W.MS
in. fact brought about by tho more oloso attontiiiu paid to the subject in
consequence of tho organization of tho Department of Edu.c.v. ion.
12. I t was provided by tho soheme of l.So I that below the colleges
thero should bo classes of schools in regular
VeFrnSarSchoo)sAngl°' gradation, which should bo placed in conned ion
with tho colleges and with each other by means
of scholarships to bo hold in tho.sujmrior institutions by pupils gaining
thorn ut tho schools immediately below them.

^..uugui, u numoor ot Vernacular Schools had been established several
years, previously, but whether from the IOAV qualifications of tho masters,
or from the want of responsible superintendence, they had failed to obtain
popularity, and wore in gradual course of abandonment. In Madras,
in the same rammer, some Vernacular Sohools which had been formed
during tho administration of Sir Thomas Munro, had died out for want
oi pupils, and the deficiency had not been supplied up to 1854,
although a scheme of education: had just previously been frumod by
the Madias Government, very much resembling in its loading foaturos
the 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 of
Vernacular education had not received in every part of India the full
amount of attention which it merited,, there can be no doubt that siaco
tho wishes of tho Home Authorities-have been so plainly declared, (ho
Officers of tho Department of Eduontion, aoting under the orders
of the sovoral Governments, have spared no pains to bring into opera-
tion throughout the districts entrusted to their superintendence, such
moasures as appeared most likely to place within reach of tho gcnoral
population the means of obtaining an education suited to their circum-
etanees in life.
18. Tho inodos of action which havo beon adopted in tho sovoral
Presidencies exhibit, however, considerable diversity.
19. In the North-Western Provinces it was found that, although
the schools established at the tehsil stations had been very-successful,,
so far ns regardod the attendance of the children in theso" towns, the
inhabitants of tliosuirounding districts bad not shared in the ml vantages
of (hem to any considerable extent. A fiysleni of Hulkabuurloo, or
Circle Schools, bad been accordingly devised previously to 1854 for
the special purpose of meeting the wants of the agricultural population.
"Under this system, several villages conA'enieutly situated lor tho purposo
are 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 villages
forming (lie circle. For tho support of theso schools, tho consent of the
landowners was to be obtained to the appropriation of a small perennt-
ngo on the amount of tho Government revenue, ono per ceut, boing
the amount paid, of which half was to be contributed by the landowners
and 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 in
tho North-Western Provinces in 1857, the requisite assent had boon
given to the scheme in many of the districts, and the sanction of tho
Homo Authorities had been accorded (in 185?) to the proposal of the
local Grovornmont, that in the ro-selilemont of tho land rovonue, tho
f now plan should bo universally introduced, and one per cent, on iho
Government demand should be set apart in all tho difslriots for 1 ho
support of (bin Hulkabundee systom. It was calculated that when all

cneourn;:cm<vit of indigenous schools by periodical inspection and by
rewni-'I;;, was brought info operation. Jn others, it wns iittompted to
accoiupliiili i ho object under tlio grinil-in-aid rules, and in those districts
a eriiisi'lei i.l le niiTiber of 6olu>"ls havo been established on Ihnfc
principle. I'rent diiliculties, however, worn encountered in obtaining
local ns.-i-fiiii'o iintl support; and (ho conclusion arrived at, after thft '
experience of'two or llnco year,:, by Air. Pratt, iho Inpootor who most
persevering])' followed this couvso of proceeding, wns that it was vain to
hopo to base fitiy general scheme of popular'education, at least in tho
greater part of j.iongid, on the, gmnt-in-aid system •under tho prescribed
rides. Th 0 Inspector of the Eastern Education Division, Mr. Woodrow, .
hud a }')•<'<<>•( arrived at a similur coueltisk.n. and had struck out an
altogether different course, to which lie had obtained the sanction of
(.love.rniti'eut. Tho principle of bis plan was to make use of tlio
existing indigenous schools, and lie proceeded by forming these schools-
into circles of three, four or live, and attaching to oneh oirele a well
qualified teacher, to be paid by (Jnverineuf, whoso duty it woiild bo to
go from school to school, instructing vilhigo school-mnstcrs in their
duties, mid iinpurlin.'r .instruction in the higher subjects to the more
advanced pup'!s; encouragoment being given to both masters and pupils
l>y the pn'spevt of small pocnniiiry rewards. 'J'his pbui has so far been
•Timid very successful, and it is proposed to extend it to others of tho
(nlueuli'-niid ilivisi»na.
22. In P-oniliiiy, tho cdunntinnal officers hnvo continued to prose-
cute (ho plan previously in force of idrining Vernacular Schools on a
pnrlintty felf-siipporfcing plan ; it being intruded, howoror, to introdima
grndiiaHy thf! .plan of ." Circlo" sclmtils of a somewhat superior class.
Ono peculiinity of tbo system pursued at Bombay is, that tho schools
mnintained at the joint exponsu <-M Government and of tho local coin-
niunify arc constituted as Government Schools, infiteml of remaining-
like thoso under tho grant•in-nid-mles, privatoschools, recoivinga grant
from Government. Tha quoation of a ohango in tliis respect hns been

young men bavo established three female sohools, and one such school
has been set on foot by a Native gentleman r e a d i n g at Dharwar. I t
was the opinion of t h e Aoting Educational Inspector of the Deecau
Division, Captain Lester, that " the prejudicos against female education
were fast disappearing," and that " t h e r e will bo no raoie difficulty
found in establishing female' schools than there is in those for
boys."
30. Although the special interest of the Homo Authorities and
of the several Governments in India, in the work of female education,
has been plainly dcolarod, and though there is no roason to doubt that
the officers of the department have availed themselves of such opportu-
nities as offorod, to promote the object, it would not appear that, except
in the case of the Agra a n d neighbouring districts*, a n y active measures
have been taken by the Department of Education for t h e establishment
of female sohools.

But the statement, from the want of adequate information and

from defective classification and arrangement, is extromcly unsatisfno-
tory. Tlio last Report on Education in the North-Western Provinces
is that for 1854-55; that for Bombay for 1855-56; and those for
Bengal and Madras for 1856-57 only. In the returns for the North-
Western Provincos, the pupils attending the schools attnohed to the
colleges aro included in the number attending tho colleges themselves;
and the same is the oase in respect to tlio Poonn College under the
Government of Bombay, where even tlio pupils in the Normal classes
are included among tho numbers attending the college. And agaiu,
the pupils in the elemenfary grant-in-aid schools in Bengal and those in
the Hulkabundee Sohools in tho North-Western Provinces are excluded
from the returns, while, as regards Bombay, the numbers of scholars

to " tho impossibility of (.lovininiont alnup doing all that must be

would be made; nnd that in suob notifications the prinoiplo of
pri-l'oct religious nontrality, on which tho grants wore to be awarded,
thould bo distinctly asserted.
'60. Tho injunctions of the Oourt of Directors, as to the princi-
ples on whioh tho prant-iu-aid system was to bo brought into

37. The private institutions for eduoation of a higher order are
throughout India, as a general rule, under European management.
In the case of many of these institutions tho grant, iu.-aid system has
boon made use of for the extension and improvornont of tho means of
instruction. The conductors of suoh schools, both English and Anglo-
Vernacular, have, generally speaking, shown no indisposition to avail
themselves of -Government assistance on tho prescribed terras; aud tho
efficiency and consequent usefulness of the aided schools has, by means
of the grants, bien greatly promoted. The higher English Schools
which have received giants aro, for the most part, maintained in con-
nection with Missionary bonien, for the obvious reason that thore are
few other private Bchools existing in India at whioh a liberal English
education 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 view
to the formation of higher or collegiate schools, where the instruction
was to be oonvoyod by means of English, though from difforent causes
no suoh institutions have yet been formed. But, while the European
managors of schools have freely accepted grants-in-aid from Govern-
ment, and equal readiness has been shown by the nativo community
to seek assistance in the formation of schools where instruction in
English, may bo affordod, no great alacrity appears to have beon '
shown by the natives in making tho necessary local efforts for
socuring tho nid of Government under the grunt-in-aid iules for the
promotion of Vernacular education. It was attempted, as already
observed, by Mr l'ratt, in the Southern Hengfil Division, to secure
the requisite looal co-operation, and by d^nt of great exertion a con-
siderable number of schools was established. But little value was
attached by the general population, in all the Bongal districts, to nny
I>..,)••!<• .'i of IH.'i'J.
EM1UC(IUOU which was not-likely, in tho opinion of the people, to lead

to a (Jovcrnmcnt nppo'intmont. and in ninny of the districts to any
edtirsition whatever: nnd Mr. Pratt was in .consequence forced to tlie
. wmclifsinii that tho prmit-in-aid. sysd-in, :IB carried out undor the exist-
ii'rr mil-'!, could not br> nuulo IKo Vasis of any extended -system, of
1>'ipul;u- t ducatiotiy those rulr^-boing .rugnrdud by liim as " o u t of place
in a country where tho vuhi'i of education is utterly nnlelt by the mas3
of Hie people, based as1 they nro on tho supposition that the people
of. tin's country is so desirous nl an improved dcroription of instruc-
tion, th'af- they will actually pity, not only schooliug-fees, but, contri-
'jiiliori:« from their private resources'." The following remarks of
'Mr. V/oivlrow are BiilFiijioid I.) thow the concurrence of that gentle-
man in Mr. I'rntt's ooiwi'luuciia. "Tlie poorest clasBes do not want
" schools at nil, hecauso they niv loo poor to pay schooling-fees and
" sub.-r-ript ions, and bee'inso Ihn labour of tiio children is required to

" (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 . Hope, of the
'Bombay Civil Service, the active and intelligent Educational Iuspeotor
of the Guzerat Division. That oflioer has describoil in. strong terras
ilifi diRti'mmgeinont and loss id' time suetained by him, in liis attempts,
to sirmo tho voluntary consent of the people to tho establishmont
of Rohi'ots undor tho grant-in-aid systein, and the disappointment

39, I now proceed to offer some observations on the. facts which

have 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 the
subject am placed, in tho third paragraph of this despatch:
40. Tho Educational Department seems to have .been framed in
general 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. The
oosfc of tho now establishments for
managing the Department is no doubt largo, as compared with tho
expenditure on tho direct work of instruction; and though ller
Majesty's •Govwnmont aro not, prepared to pronounoo it • excessive,
nevertheless, they nro dosirous that you should review tho existing
establishments, und carefully rounder

is properly susceptible of reduction.
In considering this question, it must be borne in mind that tbo duty of
tho controlling officers is not merely to superintend the institutions
directly supported by Government; but that it is tbo business of tho
Depart.mont to o.vorciso a close sorutiny into all the agencies in operatiou
throughout tho country for tho instruction of the people ; to point out
deficiencies •whsruver thoy exist; to .suggest remedies to Government;
and bring tho advantages of education before the minds of the various
clussea of the community ; to act as the ohaunel of communication on
the subject betweeu Government and the community nt large; and
generally to stiniulrite and promote, under tho proscribed rnles, ull
mofisuros having for their object the secular education of the p'eojdo. •
It is evident tbat a very inadequate opinion would be formed of tho
value of the agency responsible for thesd varied duties, from a mere
comparison of its cost with that of tho existing eduealionnl institutions
of Government, especially whon • it is considered that.it has been
necessary to constitute the controlling establishnienhs at onnp on a
coniph.te footing, whilo the establisbmonts for direct instruction are
naturally of plowor growth. • '• " •
U; After a full consideratibn of the grounds on which tho Court
of 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, of
opinion that, as n general rule, all appointments in tho Department of
Education should bo filled by individuals unconnected with the Borvico
of Government, either Civil o.r Military. It is not their wish that
officers now in tbo Dopnrtinent should bo disturbed for the sole purpose
of carrying out this rule, and they aro awaro that difficulty might n t
prefieut be experienced in finding well-qualified persons, unconnected
with the regular services, to fill vacant ollices in the Department. Hut
it is their dctiie that tho rule now prescribed bo kept steadily in viow,
and Mint every oncouragomeut be given to persons of education io enter

expensive nv-do of proceeding, and it may bo hoped that at no distant
period institutions mny ho iu operation nt alt tho Presidencies, calcu-

the place universally of the several ol.issos of Government Institutions.
1 soo no ronson to ranko any change in the orders applicable to the class
of soliooJs whi^h comes undor this heading. •
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, aud
no present orders respecting it seem, therefore, to be required. But
Her Majesty's Government are desirous of being made acquainted wifh
the opinion which you may bo Jed to form na to the genuineness of the
change of feeling wliicli appears in some localities to have taken place
repnrdhuj it, and a-s to th« nature and dogroo of (.ho influence which mny
sai'oly and prop'-rly bo exortod by the ofHcers of the Department of
Education (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 i
where provision had been made ior t/ie gradual
extension of sohools over the entire country, by the combined
operation of Mr. Thoraason's scheme of Tohsili Sohools, and tho
Hulkabundee system, no general plan had been decided on in any of
the Presidencies. It is obvious that no general scheme of popular
education could be framed whioh would be suitable for all parts of
India. But, in accordance with the course followed in the North-
Western Provinces by Mr. Thomason, and in same of tho Bengal
Districts by Mr. Woodrow, it is most important to make the greatest
possible use of existing sohods, nnd of the masters to whom, however
inefficient as teachers, the people have been accustomed to look up with
respect. .
49. The difficulties exporienoed by the officers of the Department
of Education, in establishing a general system of
naSi™rtlhiSS"tO- ^ P°pu la r schools on the basis of the existing rules
ior the administration of grnnts-in-aid, has been
already referred to. But, apart from the difficulty, and in many cases
tho impossibility, of obtaining the local support required for the establish-
ment of a school under the grant-in-aid systom, it cannot bo denied
that the mere' requisitions- made for the purpose by the offioers of
the Education Department may have a tendency, not only to create a
prejudice against education, but also to render the Government itself
unpopular. And, besides tho unpopularity likely to arise from the
demands on the'poorer members of the oommuuitj', made in tho way
either of persuasion or of authority, there can bfl no doubt that the
dignity of the Government is compromised by its officers appearing in
the light of importunate, and often unsuccessful, applicants-for pecuniary
contributions for objects which the Government is confessedly very
auxioua to promote.
50. On the whole, Her Majesty's Government can entertain
little 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 tho
population ; and it appears to thorn, BO far as they have becn-nhle t<>

•what ample seojio there is for every agency which enn be brought into

a6. You ore award that, besides the other advantages of the plan
of grants-in-aid, the uuthority of the Dospateh of 1854 regardod tho
. system n3 carrying out in tho most effeotual manner tbo principle o£
perfect religious neutrality, and as solving in tho best practicable way
various diilioult <juoRtions connected with Jiducation, arising but of
the peculiar position of tho British Government in India. If, on the
one hand, by 1 ho natural-operation of tlio system, grants havo been
inn do to Mis:?ionary Societies, assistauco has, on tho othnr, been
oxtended to schools uudor tho management of native?, whethnr Hindu
or Mahomcdan. Tho priuoiples of perfect neutrality in 'matters of
religion, on whiuli tho system lias boon brought into operation in India,
have been laid down and promulgated with unmistakeablo distinctness
in tho published rules. The' amount contributed to Missionary insti-
tutions bears but n small- -proportion-to the general expenditure on
education, and besides tho numorous Native schools established under
the grant-in-nid system in tho mufussal, tho Sanskrit Col'cgn and tho
Madrassn, 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, I
am anxious to learn- your opinion as to the manner in which, on tho
whole, the grant-in-aid system.operates ; as to tho necessity of muking
any or what alterations in the existing rules; and as to the feeling
with which, in 3'our opinion, it is regarded by tho native community •
in those districts in which it hns been brought into operation.

main argument of fheso gentlemen rested on tho alarm and distrust
which would probably bo exoited by tlin introduction of roligious teach-
ing into tho Government Schools, even if attendance on tho Bible
cla;«es worn declared to bo voluntary. Lint it wns furtlier observed, that
it would not be honest to accept tho nonsenfc of tlte people thomselvea
to atlond tho olafsts, nnd that it was not probable that tho assent of the
parents would bo given ; and it was pointod out that most of the masters
in the Govoninicnt Institutions nro natives, and that instruction in the
facts and doctrines of the Bible, givon by Henthcnteaohers, would not
bo likely to prove of niuoli advantage.
•JO. I t would certainly nppour that the formation of a class for
instruction in the Biblo, oven though n(tendance on it might bo volun-
tary, would at any time ho a measure of considerable hnznrd, and at
bi\-t of doubtful countervailing ndvantase; moro especially at tho present
ttiiie, tlio introduction of a change in this respoot might be found

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 the
rmlivos, in a sulliiaonl. proof of. the confidence which is felt in the pro-
mises of Grovcnnnoiit, that no inlerferonco with roligious belief will be
allowed in thoir schools, »ud this confidence Her Majesty's Government
would 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 it
accordingly roinnins that (bo Holy Scriptures, being kept in the Library,
and boing opon to nil tho pupiJs who inuy wish to study tlieni, nnd the
ttaoliers boing ut liberty to afl'oid instruction and explanations regarding
thwn to all who way voluntarily seek it, the- course of study in all the
Government Institutions be, as heretofore, oonfiued to secular subjects.
(52. It is my intention in this Despatch to confine my remarks to
the subjeot of Gounral Education, and I therefore abstain from notio-
erely remark that, through those

Institutions, a course of honourable occupation is opt'ned out to those
young men who, having obtained a oertaiu amount of general education,
apply themselves to any one of the speoial subjects of studv, arid go
through the prescribed examination. Some of the institutions have
beeu in operation for many years, and a large number of the native
youth who have passed through them are engaged in the public service,
and others are prosecuting the practice of their profession on their
own account. •
63. - I am happy to add that inducements to Folf-improrement are
not confined to such specinl employments. It has long been the obfeot
of tbe several Governments to raise the qualifications of Ihe pubKo
servants even in the lowest appointments, and, by recent orders, no
person can, without a special report from the appointing officer, be
admitted into tho service of Government on a salary exeoedin.g Ks. 6
per mensem, who is destitute of elementary education; and elaborate
rules have boon framed, by whioli a. gradually ascending scale of
scholastic qualification is required in those entering the higher rants of
the service. It may bo antioijiated that many yosirs will elapse before
a sutHcient number of eduoated young men are raised up in India to
supply the- various subordinate offices in tho administration iu the
manner contoraplated by the new rules.
.64. I t is tho desire of Her Majesty's Government that your report
ehall not be ooiifinod to those potato whioh have boon ospooially referred
to iu this De-piitoh, but shall embrace the whole subjoct of General
Education. They will expoct to receive, atuoug other things, full
statistical information as to the numbor of schools established since
1854, whether by Government or with the aid of Government; tho
nnmbor of pupils on the books, and fcbt) condition of the attendance;
the cost of the several schools ; and the whole expense incurred by tho
Govornmont 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
c r control. Tho impressions winch they have received1, and tho views
which they have expressed, nro necessmily, from the want of sufficient

when the U.ouvt or Directors, in a momov-
abl'o despatch, definitely accepted the systematic promotion
of general education as ono of the duties of the State, and
emphatically declared that the typo of education which they
desired to see extended in India was that which had for its
object the diffusion of the arts, scicuce, philosophy, and
literature of Europe, in short, of European knowledge.
2. The acceptance of this duly was an important
departure in policy. The advent of British rule found in
India systems of education of great antiquity existing among
both Hindus and Muhammadans, in each case closely bound-
up with their religious institutions. To give and to receive
instruction was enjoined by the sacred books of the
Brahmans, and one of the commentaries on the Rig Veda
lays down in minute detail the routine to be followed in
committing a text-book to memory. Schools of learning
were formed in centres containing considerable high caste
populutionH, where Pandits gave instruction in Sanskrit
grammar, logic, philosophy ,*aud law. For the lower classes,
village schools were scattered over tho country, in which a
rudimentary education was given to tho children of traders,
petty landholders, aiid well-to-do cultivators. Tho higher
education of Muhammadans was in tho hands of men of
learning, who devoted themselves to tho instruction of youth.
Schools were attached to mosques and shrines and supported
by State grants in cash or land, or by private liberality.
The course of study in a Muhainmadan place of learning
included grammar, rhetoric, logic, literature, jurisprudence,
and science. Both systems, the Muhamruadan no less than
the Hindu, assigned" a disproportionate importance to tho
training of tho memory, and sought to develop tho critical
faculties of tho mind, mainly by exercising their pupils in
metaphysical refinements and in fine-spun commentaries on-
the meaning of tho texts which they had learnt by heart.
3. Tho: first instinct of British rulers was to leavo the
traditional modes of instruction undisturbed and to continue

inijndsc towards rcforni on mo fiom two sources, the need for
public servants witli• n. knowledge of the English language,
jind Iho influence in favour both of English and Vernacular
education which Avas exercised by • the missionaries in the
early years of tho nineteenth century. The well-known
Minute Written by Lord Macaulay fat that time Legal Mem-
ber of Council and Chairman of tlio Committee of Public
Instruction) in 1835 marks tho-point, at which official re-
cognition was given to tho ncccssit)' of public support for
West cm education. Then followed a period of attempts,
'differing in different provinces, to extend English education
by the establishment of Government schools and colleges,
and by strengthening tho indigenous .schools; while mission-
ary effort continued to phiy an important part in promoting
educational progress.
5. In their despntch of 1851,* the Court of Directors
„ , . ,„.. announced their decision that tho Govern-
mont •should actively assist m the moro
oxtondod and systematic promotion of general education in
India. They regarded it as a sacred duly to confer upon the
natives of India thoso vast moral and material blessings
which -flow from the general diffusion of useful knowledge.

which the Government was exerting for tho suppression of

demoralizing -practices, by enlisting in its .favour tho.gonornl
sympathy of the native mind. They also Bought to create
a supply of public servants to whoso probity "oliices of trust
might with increased confidence be -committed, and <o pro-
mote the-material interests of the country by stimulating its
inhabitants to develop its vast resources. The measures
which 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 and
schools of a high order, and the increase of their number
when necessary; (5) increased altontion to all forms of
vernacular schools; and finally (6) the introduction of a
•system of grnnts-in aid which' should foster a spirit of
reliance upon local exertions, and should in course of time
render it possible to close or transfer to the management of
local, bodies-many of the existing institutions.
b". Tho policy laid down in 1804 was reaffirmed in
TTi=m „ • is-1 ISO!), when tho administration had been
transferred to the Crown. 1 ho univer-
sities of Calcutta, Madias, and Bombay were incorporated in
1857, and those of the Punjab and Allahabadiii 1882 aud 1887,
respectively. The growth of schools and colleges proceeded
most rapidly between 1871 and 1882, and Was further
augmented by the development of the municipal systems,
and by the Acts which were passed from 1865 onwards
providing for the imposition of local cesses which might be
applied to tho establishment of schools. By the year 1882
there were moro than two million and a quarter of pupils
under instruction in public institutions. Tho Education
Commission of 1882-83 furnished a most copious and valuable
report upon the state of education as then existing, made a
careful inquiry into the measures which had been taken in
pursuance of tho clespach of 1854, and submitted further
detailod proposals for carrying out the principles of that
despatch. They advised increased reliance upon and syste-
matic encouragement of private effort, and their recommen-
dations were approved by the Government of India. Shortly
afterwards a considerable devolution of tho management of
Government schools upon-'Municipalities and District Boards
was effected, in accordance with the principles of local self-
government then brought into operation.

avenues of employment have been opened in many directions;
and that thoro has been a marked improvement in the
character .of the public servants now chosen from the ranks
of educated natives, as compared tyit.li. those of the days
before schools nnd Universities had commenced to exorcise
their elevating inlJu'onco. But ifc is also, impossible <o ignore
the fact that criticisms from manj' quarters are directed at
some of tho features and results of tho sysiom as it exists at
present, and that theso criticisms proceed ospecially from
friends and well-wishers of the cause of education.. Its
shortcomings in point of quantity need no demonstrations-
Four villngcs out of five aro without a school; three boys out
of four grow up without education, and only one girl in forty
attends any kind of school. In point of quantity tho main
charges brought against the system aro to tho general
effect, (1) that the higher education is jiursued with too
exclusivo a view to entering Government servico, that its
scope is thus unduly narrowed, and that those tvho fail
to obtain employment under Government are ill-fitted for
other pursuits; (2) that excessive prominence is given to
examinations; (3) that the courses of study aro too purely
literary in character; 4) that the schools and colleges
train the intelligence of. tho students too little, and their
memory too much, BO that mechanical repetition takes the
placo of sound learning; (5) that in tho pursuit of English
education tho cultivation of the vernaculars is neglected,
with tho result that tho hope expressed in the Despatch of
1854 that they would become the vehicle for diffusing
Western knowledge among the .masses is far as ever from
realization. ' • • "• . :
The Governor-General' in Council having closely con-
sidered tho Bubject, and having come to the conclusion
that the existing methods of instruction stand in need of
substantial reform, has consulted the Local Governments and
Administrations upon tho measures nocossary to this end, and
bolieves that he has their hearty concurrence in the general
lines of the policy which he desires to prescribe. He
therefore invites ail who aro interested in raising tho
general level of education in India, and iu spreading
its benefits moro widely, to co-oporate in giving effect to
the principles laid down in this Resolution. With this

that tho higher interests of education iu India are injuriously

(roveriiment service on tho school and -University attainments
of th»>se who oomo fotward as candidates for employment.
Soinn indeed have gone so far as to suggest that educational

]0. Tho Government of India cn.nnot accept this
•"pinion. It appears to them that such examinations, if

Enp.|>lr.'inurttary to, the University course, would necessarily

ihun exist side by side, only one of them leading to Govorn-

lines, the'strain of excessive examination, already the subject
of complaint, would bo greatly intensified; while, on tho

of obhiining Government appointment 1 ?, the • resnlt would

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 of
the country could hardly i';til to react upon the character of
the public service itself. The improved, tone of the native
officials of the present day dates from, and is reasonably
attributed to, the more extended employment of men who
havo received n liberal education in the Universities, and
have imbibed tinough the influence of their teachers some
of the traditions of English public life. Nor is there 'my
reason to believe (hat by introducing its own examinations
the Government would raise the standard of fitness, or secure
better men for tho public service than it obtains under the
present system. There is a general consensus of opinion
among all the authorities consulted that no examining board
would do better than the Univeisities. If a separate
examination did no more than confirm the finding of the
Universities, it would be obviously superfluous; if it
conflicted with that finding, it would be mischievous.
11. The Government is in the last resort the sole judge
as to the best method of securing (he .typo of officers which
it requires for its service. It alone possesses,the requisite
knowledge 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 years
ago; it docs not .spring from the traditions of the people,
audit is without the safeguards by which its operation is
controlled in England. It sets aside, moreover, considera-
tions which cannot be disregarded by a. Government whose
duty it is to roconcilo tlio conflicting claims of diverse races,
rival religions, and varying degrees of intellectual and
administrative aptitude and adaptabilitj'. For the higher
grades of Government service thero is no need to have
recourse to the system, since it is possible in most cases for
tho Government to accept the various University degreos and
distinctions as indicating that their holders possess the
amount of knowledge requisite to enable them to fill parti-
cular appointments; while in the case of tho more technical
departments, a scrutiny of the subjects taken up by the
candidate, and of the degree of success attained in each, will
sufficiently indicnJo. how far ho possesses the particular
knov/ledgo and bent of mind that his duties will demand.

Indian Educational Policy.
educational Codes of tho various Provinces arc being revised

so as to omboily Miosn important reforms, and to relievo tho
schools and who! >'.-K from tlm hoavy burden of recurring
mechanical 'tests. 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 the
lowest atago of instruction, and will test tho degree of
proficiency .attained in tho highest classes of primary
school. But it will no longer be a public examination
held at centres to which a number of schools nro summoned ;
it will be conducted by the inspecting officer in the
echool• itsolf. Tho -second examination will take place at
tho closo of the secondary, usually an Anglo-Vernacular
course, and will record tho educational attainments of all
boys who have- completed this course. In both stages of
instruction special pro vision will be made for tho award of
scholarships.
' In giving effect to this change of system, it will be
necessary to guard against the danger that the subordinate
inspecting agency may misuse, the increased discretion
entrusted to them. Tho principles upon -which the grant to
an aided school i.s to be assessed must therefore be laid
down by each Local Government in terms sufficiently clear to
guide the inspecting officer in his recommendations; precau-
tions must be taken against the abuso of authority, or the
perfunctory performance of the duties of inspection; and
in those provinces whero the application of standards of
efficiency other than those- afforded by written examinations
is a novelty, it will bo incumbent upon the Education
Department, by conferences of inspecting officers and by
.other means, to securo a reasonable degree of uniformity iu
the standards'imposed. The Governor-General in Council
does not doubt that the discipline and ability of the educa-
tional .services will prove equal to maintaining, under tho
altered -conditions,- a system of independent and efficient
inspection. •

the sources of difficulty in our administration and of possible

danger to iii© inability of our Government, there are few
BO serious as the ignorance of the people." To the people
themselves, monovor, the hick of education is now a more
serious disadvantage than it was in more primitive days.
By the extension of railways the economic side of agriculture
in India hns been grur.if.-ly developed, find the cultivator lms
Ueon brought into contact with the commercial world, nnd
has boon involve! jn transactions in which an illiterate! man
is at a_gn.iat disadvantage. The material benefits attaching
~td o3li cation "iFuvo at the same time increased with the
development of schemes for introducing improved agricul-
tural methods, for opening agricultural banks, for strenthening
the legal position of the cultivator, and for generally
improving tho conditions of rural life. Such schemes depend
largely for their success upon the influence of education
permeating tho masses and rendering them accessible to
ideas other than those sanctioned by tradition.
15. How, then, do matters stand in respect of the
extension among the masses of primary
its extent. education? The population of British
India, is. over two hundred and forty millions. I t is
commonly reckoned that fifteen per cent.'of the population
are of school-going ago. According to this standard there
are more than eighteen millions of boys who ought now to
be at school, but of these only a little more than one-sixth
are actually receiving primary education. If the statistics
are arranged by Provinces, it appears that out of a hundred •
boys of an age to go to school, tho number attending
primary schools of eomo kind ranges from between eight
and nine in the Punjab and the United Provinces, to twenty-
two and twenty three in Bombay arid Bengal. In the
census of 1901 it was found that only one in ten of the male
population and only seven in a thousand of the female
population wore literate. These figures exhibit the vast
dimensions of tho problem, and show how much remains
to be done before the proportion of tho population receiving
elementary instruction can approach the standard recognized
as indispensable in moro advanced countries.

it is in a backward condition, its encouragement should bo
a primary obligation. The Government of Jndia believe
that Local -Governments nro cordially in agreement with
them in desiring this extension, and will carry it out to tho
limits allowed by tho financial conditions of each province.
19. In so tar as District or Municipal Boards are
required to devote their funds to educa-
J K i e T °f l0Cal 1i »". primary education should have a
predominant claim upon their expenditure.
Tho administration of primary schools by local bodies is
already everywliero subject to_th^genen»l supervision of
flie~E(luc'sTtiori Department as regards tuitional matters ;
buttlT6""d'egr6c of control differs in 'different provinces, and
whore it is most complete, primary education is most
advanced. 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 is
essential, in order to ensure that the claims of primary
education rocoive due attention, that the educational autho-
rities should be heard when resources are bcinir allotted,
and that they .should have the opportunity of carrying
their representations to higher authority in the event of
their being disregarded. In future, therefore, BO much
of tho budget estimates of District or Municipal Boards
as relates to .educational Y3.farge8 will bo submitted through"
the Inspector to the Director of Public Instruction before

Progress has been made in several parts of
India during recent years in the introduction of Kinder-
garten methods and object-lessons. Where these methods
have been applied with discretion . by competent teachers,
who have discarded elaborate forms and foreign appliances,
aud have used for the purpose of instruction objects familiar
to the children" in their every-day life, they have been
productive of much benefit by imparting greater life and
reality to the teaching, and by training tho children's
'faculties and powers of observation. The experience which
hfs-bfien gained of Kindergarten teaching in Madras and

it as a matter of tho greatest importance to provide a simple,

suitable, and useful typo of .school for tho agriculturist, and
to foster the domain! for it amoug tho population. This
and other reforms in primary schools will involve some
revision of tho pay of primary teachers which varies greatly
and in some provinces is too small to attract or to retain a
satisfactory class of men. Thus in Bengal tho rates fall as
low as Rs. 5 per month, while tho averago pay in tho
Bombay Presidency risos to Rs. 17 and Es. 18. The matter
has boon under consideration, and improvements will bo
made where they are •most needed.
22. .The growth of secondary instruction is one of
„ ., , . .. . tho most striking features in the history
Secondary eduiaticm. r . ,. • T J- mi i "V
OJ: education in India. Ihe number of
secondary schools has risen in tho last twenty years from
3,91G to 5,403 and that of their pupils from 214,077 to
558,378. in all .provinces- there is considerable eagerness
among parents to a.fVord their sons an English education, and
tho ])rovision and maintenance of a high school are common
objects of liberality among all sections of tho community.
•Whether these schools aro managed by public 'authority or
by private persons, and whether they receive aid from public
funds or not, tho Government is bound in the interest of tho
community to see that the education provided in them is
sound. It must, foi- example, satisfy itself in each case that a
secondary school is actually wanted; that its financial
stability is assured; that its managing body, where there is
one, is properly constituted; that it teaches the proper
subjects up to a proper standard'; that due .-provision has
been made for tho instruction, health, recreation, and dis-
cipline of the pupils; that the teachers are suitable as regards
character,, number,. and qualifications; and that the foes
to bo paid will not involve such competition with any existing
school as will be unfair and injurious to tho interests of
education. Such are tho conditions upon which alone schools
should 1)0 eligible to receive grants in-aid or to send up pupils
to compoto for or receive pupils in enjoyment of Government
scholarships; and schools complying with them will be
ranked as " recognized '' schools. But this is not sufficient.
It is further essential that no institution which fails to
conform to the elementary principles of sound education
should bo. permitted to present pupils for tho University
examinations; and in future .admission to tho Universities
should'bo restricted <o bond fide private candid.-itos and to

best solution of the difficulty will-probably be found

in adapting t-"< Indinn conditions tho system of leaving
examinations, lield at the conclusion of the. secondary course,
which has boon tried with success in other countries. Such
examinations would not dominate the courses of study, but
would bo adapted to them, and would form the natural
culminating point of secondary education—a point not to
bo reached by sudden and spasmodic elYorfc, but by the
orderly development of nil the faculties of mind under good
and train<:<] teaching. Thov would be of a moro searching
character than tho pre.sont entrance test, and tho certificate
given at their close would be ovidencs that: tho holder had
received a sound education in a recognised school, that lie
had borno a r,ood character, and that he had really learnt
what the school professed to have-taught him. It would thus
possess a definite value, and would deserve recognition
not only by Government tmd the Universities but also by
the large body of private employers who are in want of
well-trained assistants in their various lines of activity.
25 Tho remark has often been made that the extension
,,,,. , , .. • in India of an education model-
Jitlues of e d u c a t i o n . , -. -r-i . . .
led upon European principles
and so far as Government institutions nre concerned, purely
secular in its character, has stimulated tendencies un-
favourable to discipline, aud has oncouraged tho growth
of a spirit of irreverence in tho rising generation. If any
schools or colleges produco this result, they fail to realize
tho- object with which they are established'— of promoting
the 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 religious
instructions given in aided schools. Many of these, main-
tained by native managers or by missionary bodies in
various parts of tho Empire, supply religious and .ethical
instruction to complete the educational training of
their 'scholars. In Government institutions the instruc-
tion is, and must continue to bo, exclusively secular.
In such cases tho remedy for the evil tendencies
noticed abovo is to be sought, not so much iu any formal
methods of teaching conducted by means of moral text-
books or primers of personal ethics, as in the influence
of carefully Selected and trained teachers, the mnin-
-tr-tmnco of a high standard of discipline, the institution
of widl-mana;.;od hostels, the proper selection of text-books,

before their knowledge of the languago was sufficient

to enable them to understand what they were taught.
The line of division between tho use of the vernacular
and of English us a medium of instruction should,
broadly speaking, be drawn at a minimum age of 13.
No scholar in a soeondary school should, oven then, bo
allowed to abandon the study of his vernacular, which
should' bo kept up until the end of the school course.
If %tho educMii.'d classes neglect the cultivation of their
own language;:, theso will assuredly sink to tho level of
mere colloquial dialects possessing no literature worthy
of the name, and no progress will bo possible in giving
etfect to the (irinciplo, aih'rmed in the .Despatch of I8o4,
that European knowledge should gradually bo brought by
moans of the Indian vernaculars, within the reach of. all
classes of the people.
27. In their oiforts to promote femalo education tho
Government have always eivjoun-
Pemalo education. tered peculiar difficulties arising
from, the social customs of tho people; but they have
acted on the view that through female education a "far
greater proportional impulse is imparted to the educa-
tional and moral tone of the people titan by the education
of men," and have accordingly treated this branch of
education liberally in respect of scholarships and fees.
Nevertheless though Bome advance has been made,
female education as a whole is still in a very backward
condition. Tho. number of female scholars in public
.schools in the year 1901-02 was 444,470, or less than a
ninth of the number of male scholars. The percentage
of girls in public schools to the total female population
of 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 for
tho extension of female education, and the Government
of India hope that with the increase of the funds assigned
in aid of education their proposals may be more fully
carried out. The measures winch are now being taken
for further advanco ..include the establishment in import-
ant centres of model primary girls' schools, an increase
in the number of training' schools, with moro liberal assis-
tance to thoso already in existenco, and a strengthening
of the staff of inspectrcsscs. Tho direct action of Gov-
ornraent will bo oxorted in cases whore that of ' tho

of this Corav'iiflsion, and of the criticisms "which it called

forth, 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 that
the Senates, which from various causes have grown to
an unwieldy size, should be reconstituted on a working
basis and that the position and powers of the Syndicates
nhould bo dciitiod find regulated. Opportunity will bo taken
to give a stfitutory recognition to the privilege of electing
member* of i.he Senate which, sinco 1891, has been con-
coded by way of experiment; to . the graduates of the
throo older Universities. A limit will be placed upon the
number of ex-officio fellows; and a reduction will be. made
in the maximum numbers of the' Senates so as to restrict
nominations to those bodies to the persons well quali-
fied to discharge .their responsible duties. Powers will
be conferred upon all the Universities to make suitable
provision for University teaching. The teaching given in
colleges will, instead,of being tested mainly or wholly by
external examinations, be liablo to systematic inspections
under the authority of tbo.Syndicate; and the duty of the
Universit}7 not only to demand a high educational standard
from any new college that desires to be recommended to
Government for affiliation, but also gradually to enforce a
similar standard in colleges ahead}' .affiliated, will bo care-
full)r defined. A college' applying for affiliation will be
required to satisfy the University and the 'Government that it
is under the management of a regularly constituted govern-
ing body; that its teaching staff' is adequate- for [ho courses
of instruction undertaken; that the buildings and equipmont
are suitable, and that due provision is made for the
residence and supervision of the students; that, so far as
circumstances permit, due. provision is made for tho
residonco of some of tho teaching staff; that tho financial
resources of the college are sufficient; that its affiliation,
having regard to the provision for students made by
neighbouring colleges, will not.be injurious, to the interests
of education or discipline; and that : the fees to be paid by
the students will not involve competition injurious to the
interests of education with any existing^ college in the
same neighbourhood. Colleges already affiliated will bo
inspected regularly and will be required to show that they
continue to comply with the conditions on which the pri-
vilege of affiliation is granted. The necessary improvemor'

30. During the last thirty years the idea that the

Chiefs Colleges. a chax]ge fn the traditional modes of
education, has found acceptance amongst the ruling Chiefs
of Native States. Chiefs' Colleges liavo been established
of which tho most important are those at Ajmor, Rajkot
•and Lahore, where somo of the features of the English
public school syttom have been reproduced, with the object
oE fitting young Chiefs and Nobles physically, moraJly,
and intellectually for the responsibilities that lie before,,
them. Convinced of the great importance of promoting
this object, His Excellency tho Viceroy has closely
examined the organization and conduct of 'these colleges
.which appeared to admit of improvement, and has placed
before tho ruling Chiefs proposals of a comprehensive
character for their reform. An increase will be mado in the
number of teachers of high qualifications to bo ongaged
upon the staff ; and in regulating the studies and discipline
of tho colleges, tho aim kept in view throughout will be tho
preparation of tho sons of ruling Chiefs for tho duties which
awiiit them, on lines which will combine the advantages of
"Western knowledge with loyalty tn the traditions and usages
of their families or States. The proposals h»"~ '-

Schools of Art. nil . ' , •' , . ,.' , ,,
1 lie aims to be pursued m them, and the
methods propov to those aims, havo been the subject of much
discussion during recent; years. Tho Government.of India
are of opinion that, tho true function of Indian Schools of
Art 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 their
future practice, or aro utilized as commercial ventures, they
are 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 of
the arts which may thus be taught to thoso who will practice
them 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 Schools
of Art should be such as aro capable of being carried on in
the locality, and in /which improvement can be effected by
instructing pupils or_ workmen,.by. means of superior appli-
ances, mothock, or designs. Instruction in theso arts or art
industries should bo directed to their expansion through £ha
improvement of the skill and capacity of the pupil or work- .
man, but it should not bo pushed to the point of competing
with local industries, of doing within the school what can
equally well be done outside, or of usurping the sphere of
private enterprise. The schools should not be converted
into 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 school
should be kopt, with the object of enabling orders which
may bo received to be placed with advantage. The teaching
should bo in tho hands of oxperts, trained as a rule in Indian
Colleges or in t\ it School.'!. The specialization of a limited
number o( url:a and art industries in the several schools
should be preferred to the simultaneous teaching of a large
number. Free admission and scholarships should, aa a

tion ' " >" c a n n o f c b e considered com-
plete without ampler provision than exists
at present in India for school training definitely adapted
to.commercial life. Thero is at present no University course
of training of a, specialized description for business unen;
in the field of secondary education the establishment of
examinations and tho inclusion of commercial subjects in the
optional lists of subjects for examination have outstripped
the progress made in the organization of courses of
•instruction. The beginnings which have been made at
Bombay, Luck now, Calicut, Amritsur, and elsewhere, show
that the attempt to provide suitable courses meets with
encouraging response; and increased attention will now
be given to the extension of such teaching in large contres
of commerco nnd population. Tho proper development of the
teaching demands that it should he adapted to Indian needs
and should not be based merely upon English text-books.
The London Chamber of Commerce examinations supply
a convenient, test for those pupils (especially Europeans)
who arc likely to proceed to England. Commercial courses,
leading up to this or other examinations, are now being
placed upon an equality -with purely literary courses as a
qualification for Government service. But their chief aim
will be to supply practical training for those who are to
enter business houses eithor in a superior or subordinate
capacity. l.'Vgisters will be kept of tho pupils who havo
been so trained, and endeavours will bo made to find
employment for them by communication with Chambers

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 on
tho work of research, and to raise tho standard of teaching,
can be trained in India itself. Before ngriculturo can.be
adequately tnu^ht in- the vernacular, suitable text-books
must bo produced, and this can only bo done by men who
have .learnt tho subject in-. English. The Government of;
India have therefore under their consideration a scheme for
the establishment of an Imporial Agricultural College in.
connoction wiMi an Experimental Farm and 'Research.
Laboratory, to be carried on under the general direction of 1
tho Inspector-Gronernl of Agriculture, at which it is intended
to provide a thorough training in all branches of figriculturul
science- combined with constant practice in farming work
and estate management. In addition to shorter courses for
those studentB who are intended for lower posts, there will
be 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,: Research
Exports, 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 that
tho proposed institution, may succeed, in meeting - that
demand. Arrangements will also be mndo to admit to the
higher course* those who have undergone preliminary training
at the. Provincial colleges, and thereby to exercise upon
thpso colleges an influence tending gradually to raise their
standard of efficiency.
38. If tho teaching in secondary.schools is to bo raised
o a higher level,—if the pupils are to be cured of their
tendency to rely upon'learning notes and textbooks by
Training college ¥™\ if> j "a ™* d ' Jôpean knowledge
is to be .-diffused by the methods proper
to it,—then it is most necessary that the teachers shduld
themselves be trained in the art of. teaching. Even in
England divided counsels have till rocont times prevented
duo progress from being made with this most essential
condition of tho reform of secondary education. The
Indian Education Commission referred to tho conflict of
opinion iipon this fundamental principle, and to the diversity
of practice which prevailed; and while hesitating to lay

studies; but Hio main object, should bo to render them

capable twicln n , and no attempt should bo made to proparo
them for miy higher external examination. The scheme of
instruction should bo determined' by the authorities of tho
Training College and by the Education Department; and the
oxuminatiun at tho close of it should bo controlled by tho
same authorities. The training in the theory of teaching
should hv closely ussociatod with its practice, and for this
purpose' good practising schools should bo-attached to each
college, and should bo under tho control of tho same
authority. Tho practising school should bo fully equipped
"with well trained teachers,' and the students should see
examples of the best teaching, and should teach under
capable supervision; It is desirable that the Training College
should be furnished with a good library, and with a museum
in which should bo exhibited samples, models, illustrations, .
or records of the school work.of tho province.. Every possible
care should be tnken to maintain a connection between
the Training College and the school, so that tho student on
leaving the college and entering upon his career as a teacher
may not neglect to practise the methods which he has been
taught, and may not (as.sometimes happens) be prevented
from doing so and forced to fall into line with tho moro
mechanical methods of his untrained colleagues. The trained
students whom the college has sent out should bo occasionally
brought together again, a-nd tho inspecting staff should
co-operate with the Training College authorities in seeing
that the influence of tho college mnkos itself felt in the schools.
40. Tho institution of Normal Schools for primary
. Training schools for teachers, which WHS enjoined by tho
primary leathers. Despatch of 1854, lias boon vejy generally
carried out. Recent enquiries into tho suiKiciency of their
number have shown that an increase is called for in Borne
provinces, notably in Bengal; and provision is being mado
for this increase, its possibility depending part.ty upon tho
salaries paid to primary teachers bi'ing sufficient to induce
men to undergo a course 'of training. The usual type of
normal school is a boarding school, where students who have
received a vernacular education are maintained by stipends
and 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 not
less than two years.

•kidcpendent of Government is ma do clear by the fact that

more than two-u'fths of the boarders woro in unaided hostels,
and that of the total expenditure upon nil hostels, ten lakhs
were derived from subscriptions and endowments, as com-
parod with two lakhs sixty-three thousand rupees from public
funds. The Ciovernment of India believe that the system
of hostels, if extended with due regard for its essential
principles, which include direct supervision by resident
teachers, is destined to exercise a profound influence on
student life in India and to correct many.of iho shortcomings
which non' attend our educational methods.
43. The reduction in the number of examinations which
Injecting «mff. i» . being carried _ cut and the genera!
raising of educational standards which la
•contemplated,, demand im increased stringency in inspectioo
and a substantial strengthening of the inspecting staff. In
the 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 less
important than the former, and calls for wider educational
knowledge, greater initiative, and the oxnrciso of a wise
discretion in adapting means to ends. It is a task which
will provide worthy occupation for mon who are imbued
with the best traditions in the matter of school management,
find it 18 through the influence of such mou filono that there
is any real prospect of its accomplishment. Their assistance
can only be enlisted by increasing the cadre of the Indian
Educational Service. Some additions in the lower branches
of the inspectorate aro also needed in order to provide for
a complete system of inspection in situ instead of collective
examinations. Tho Government of India do not require
that inspectors should bo precluded from having recourse to
oxumination as a moans of inspection; but they desire that
inspectors should be much raoro^tli'ULPiery.cxauiiuers. They
/should ncT~o7iTy~j"u<rge~ the results of teaching, but should
guide and adviso as to its methods; and it is essential that
thoy sliouid bo familfaF'witlT the schools in their ordinary
working conditions. The work of schools should be defined
ivith reference rather to tho courses of instruction followed
than to the examinations that have to be passed, and rigid
uniformity either in the arrangement of subjects or in the
classification of the /scholars should be avoided, froc plnv

IN continuation of thiu Department Circular No. 15, dated tho 18thc,iP"NoPgl ,
March 190-5, I am direclod to forwnrd, for your iuformntion, the 20 March lik1
accompanying copy of ;\ circular, No. 15, datod tho 12th January J906,
which Iia3 bonn nd'lrosscd by tho Director of Public Instruction, Bengal,
to .1110"principal oJlicorsi o[ tho .Education Department.
2. I am lo fin v thai; tho views expressed by Sir Alexander Pedler
in 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 bo
ovor-esf imfdc'<h It bus woinoil to Sir And row Frnsor a most deplorable
thing tint 1 tn'a inf'uonco should have of lato yearn boon EO little cxer-
oisotl. Ilia Hoinmr is v/oll.nwaro that many officers share his regret,
• mid strongly d^piocato I.I10 existing1 state of tbingfi. Ho is therefore
contident iJn.l Sir Aloxandor Pedlar's circular will commend itself to1
oxocutive ullioors (broughout tbo Province. There is scarcely anything
moro important lor tho well-being of tho people than a sound and
efficient system of primary education; and tbat District OiBcor fails iu
tho dischargo of 0110 of bis most important funotions who does not do
nil ha can to promote and develop such a system,
. . 3. . Tbo Lieiitcuiint-ttovornor hopes that Sir Aloxander Pedler's
circular will result in Educational oflicors Eoeking tbo co-operation of
Comjni?sioners and District Ollioera in education generally; and His
Honour dosui os on his own part to invite tbat co-operation with the
flflieers 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 that
they should give oiirucst and constant attention to primary education.
The Lieutonant-Govoruor ho]ics that iufuturo tbero will be not only
aa absence of friction, but also roal co-operation between executive and
educational ofliecrs.
4. Sir Alexander Pedler has indicated in his circular that Judicial
officers also may give valuable assistance in regard to oducation.
Esporieuco has shown tbo Ijieutonant-Uovernor that this is speoially
the oaso iu regard to Colleges and High Schools. His Honour is glad
to1 acknowledge tbo valuable aesistanoo which ho has found to bo rendered
by a few Judicial oflicors to High Schools aud Colleges in this Province;
and- ho dom'res to express his warm approval of such a display of
interest in tbo well-being of tho community.
5. With tbeso rojnarks, I am to commend this ciroular to your
earnest attention.

aB a matter of fart tho Magistrate is invariably tho Chairman of the

District Board nnd I ho Executive authority. There is 'no doubt (is to
the soundness ol'tliis i-riuciplo, and it is clear that thoso in charge of
tho local nianngomtjnt ol all public and sorni-pnblic affairs aro best
qualified to understand nnd arrange for t)ie .educational needs and
eircunistancos of a locality.
6. Experienco lu-.s, however, shown that as tho primary forms ot
education bocoino moro'aud nioro doveloped and inoro toohnionl, such
us lias boon tho case by the introduction of tho'new Vernacular Scheme
of Education in J!)01, thoro is moro and more neoiFoi expert super-"
visionToftKd""purely educational aspect of school work. Henco the
details, of coursoa to bo studied iu schools, oven down to tho primary
stage, and the critical inspection of tho work of suoh schools, must be
linnded'over to, nnd roniain uudsr tho control of, moro or Ies3 export
educationists. At. t ho same thno, the moro general aspects of Primary
Education as to its amount, distribution and to its general arrangement
are undoubtedly best controlled by local Exocutivo authorities. Tho
Executivo oflirors can also by thoir inspections greatly assist tho
Educational oflicerr,, and by thoir visists to tho schools they can give
material encouragement to oduoation.
7. In this connection tho following oxtract from the Government
of India Resolution on Indian Educational Policy may be quoted :—
" Iu so far as District or Municipal-Boards arc required to devote their
funds to education, Primary Education should hare n predominant claim upon
tlirir ozpenditurc. Tlio administiatiou ol primnry schools by local bodies is
already everywhere subject to the general supervision .of tho Education Depart-
ment as regards tnitioniil matters, hut the deajreo ot control differs iu different
I'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. But
it is essential, iu ord'ir to ensure tliat tho claims of Primary Education receive
duo attention, that the- Educational authorities BIIOUWI ho hoard when resources
are being allot tod, and that they sliould Jiavo the opportunity o{ carryinu their
representations to Uii;hcr authority iu the event of tbeir boing disregarded. In
future, therefore, so much of the budget estimates of District or Municipal
Boards ns relates to educational charijos will bo submittod through the Inspector
to tho Director of Public Instruction beforo sanction.'"
8. The policy which is hero clearly laid down is, that while the
Magistrates and Collectors and other Executive officers and Commissioners
in thoir Divisions aro chnrged with tho responsibility of fostering
and developing tho. Primary Eduoation in their districts, and with
fjceiug that a sufficient proportion of funds is dovotod to this purpose,
tho Educational officers on tho other hand aro ohargod with tho duty
of rendering an muoh help iu this matter as oan bo given, and with tho
duty of consulting such oflicurs in all efforts made to improve Primary
Education, while thoy aro responsible for the eduoational standards,
tho teaching and the oxpert inspoction of suoh schools, lioth of these
acts of officers can, of course, materially assist ouo another by hearty
co-operation,
iJ. In tho coi-i; of Secondary Education tho principle indicated in

Extracts from Hvmilutinn hj tho Gout, of Bengal, doted 3<)th June 1S7S.
[Pt-is.uird lij Government. Circular No. 30, doled H9th July 1S9SA
" * . * * * In regard to certain bronchos of .Educational
administration, tho '.Resolution of July 1877 laid down a procedure
which required tho mutual oo-oporatiou of Educational and local Civil
officers, and consequently involved numorous references from ouo to tho
other in carrying on tho business of education. Such eo-opsration is
attended wit h no rlight advantages; and it is hopod that the changes
now tobomado will still secure tho interest of Civil ollicors in educational
work, and will onoounigo thorn to continue to givo that support and
assistance wliieh havo boon found so useful an aid to educational
progress. At the samu time, tho Lieutenant-Qovm-nor is"unable to over-
look tho fact'that tho Hj'slem of rautual references in administering tho
business of an important dop.irtmout involves delay, and lessens respon-
sibility to nn extent which may easily become injurious. He has
thorofore resolved to adopt tho prinoiple of a definite, poparation of
duties between tliu oflicers of tho Education Department on tho one
hand and tho Magistrates and the District Education Commit tens on
the other, subject only to tho condition that the oilicors of either olnsses
sliall contiauo to enjoy reusonaUa opporiunilios of obtaining inform-
ation and of giving assistance in regard to work not placed under their
direct control. * * • • - '
''As rccrards Iho proposed division of administrative duf.ien between
Civil officers on tho ouo hand and the olficora of tho Education Depart-
ment on tho other, the Lieutenant-Crovomor is of opinion that in each
district tho Magistrate, associating with himsolf tho Diskict Comraittoo
lisa oonsultativo body, should retain' gouoral control over all that
concorns -Primary Education, including tho administration of the
primary grant, tho examination.for, and award of, primary scholarships,
•and. the management of the third-grade normal schools for the training
of gurus wherever such a school exists. Tho District Committee, besides
assisting the Magistrate in matters of Primary Education,, will further
undertake tho gonoral supervision of the zilla school £0 far as regards
tho maintenance of tho building, the finaucial affairs of the school, and
the settlement of questions of discipline that may bo referred to thom
by the flead-maitor of the school: in all matters in i'aot, except the
determination of the. course of instruction and tho appointment or.
promotion of tonuhorn, though tlioir ropieflentutionson those lust excepted

Lv»rKCTiNG officers must not think thoy aro eimply teachers or

exnminers of.pupils. Thoy should possess the expoiionce and know-
ledge nnodod by teaolieip, but their real duty is to see how far tho
aotual toaoherfl understand the art o£ toaching and school management,
how far they are oorel'ul find-zealous in thoir work; \AI givo them
information on points of work when (hey are deficient or upon whioh
they canuot bo ox[iootod to inform themsolvos; and, in short, to do
everything poseiblo to smooth away their difficulties.
2. Responsibility of Innpec/intf officers.-—The Inspeotor, while he hns
jurisdiction and suporvi.ron over the whole circle, takes under his
special oare the zilla and high English schools—Government, aided
md unaided, also first-grade training schools. The Inspector should

• 4. Intercourse with, parents, guardian*, and members of Managing

Committees.— A vnry important part of an Inspecting officer's duty
(specially thnfc of tho mitivo inppooting staff) is to bo in touoh with
the people. It is advisable, when practicable, that a Deputy Inspector
should arrange to halt at a middle or uppor primary eohool,* and, after
his inspeotion, have nn interview with the Manuring Committee, and
also, 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, aud
induco the poo]lo gen. Tally to take nn interest in oducat ion. Similarly,
Sub-Inspectors and In.;pooting lJandits should arrange to halt in the
vioinity of lowor primary fiohools, rospeotivoty.
5. Inspection and Jvxamination.—Tho proper scrutiny of a sohool
/consists of two principal pails, viz., inspection and examination. By
inspection.is meant llu> process of ficning a sohool at work during its
ordinary roulino, noting tho suitability of the building, tho 6auitary
conditions, tho arrangoniont and organization of classes, the furniture and
apparatus, how th'J accounts and registers are kept, the organization, order
nnd discipline, tho relatiou between teachers nnd soholars, and especially
tho 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 see
whether faults detected by failures in- scholarship examinations have
boon or nro being-corrected ; also to seo how far subordinate Inspecting
officers have niado unitablo • reports. In order to arrive at a fair
knowledge of tho condition of a 6ohool, both inspection and examination
are neeessar}'. Inspection, or at leabt part of it, should usually corno
first, and the cxamirmtiou of pupils afterwards, for the following
reasons:— - . '
Tfii'fit.—By first inspecting, especially seeing t\io work of the
teanhor.H, much may be loarned as to tho standard to
which i-ho impilfi havo arrived, whioh will bo a guide to
tho 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 disoiplino
and 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 witU
the usual routino on the day of iiispootion, so that tho Inspecting
officer 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 usual
Etniements us to r ill-number, number of pupils present, tho averagj

lolling ovoir the doles, fidgoting, standing or silting iu a Blovonly

way, should at ouoe ljt> conodod, Tho pupils should be mide to speak
out, distinctly, and yet not too loudly, as load spenking on tho part of
the pupils or toaohers dismrbs tlio work of other classes.
15. Teacher's position.—'Tho teaolier should arrnngo his class and
take 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's
position. Iu 11 lnrgo ro«m ho will uot prob.ibly bo able to bear
tho pupils at tho tmd of tho'classes, unless they speak very loudly.
I n such a enso ho should get tho boys to como up to his position
in baton"!", but undue no circumstances should ho niovo dowu to the
pupils. Tlio movement of pupils should bo eirixitud by voice and
eye. I t is futid for a toauhor to louoh pupils in ordor to gel thorn into
positiou.
l(j. Notebook.—Every toachor should keop a note.-book, in whioh
b» should, note tho separate heads into which he divides each lesson,
and in which ho should <mler bri'oJly tbo information beyond that
given 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's
work, and give him'an insight ns to tho teaoher's methods, and what
ho should expect from a class. The homo, preparation of teacliera
cunnot bo too stvonsly insisted on. AEnny musters toach with the
text-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 their
eyes iu-(i always on tho bojs' faces —a-groat help in touching ; also this
acoustoins tho bo3's to hoar facts esproBsed iu'different words, ikud
BO discouingcs parrot-like repolitions.
17. Teacher's language.—When listening to a mauler's lessou, the
Inspecting olficor should particularly note whethor the lessou is giveu
in plain and homnly language, such as oau easily be understood by the
olass. Ho will also noto whether- the toucher succeeds in fixing the
attention of tho whole class, nud that he docs not ooniino his attention
to 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 inaxperienoed
teaohers to devote most of their atteution to the few good pupils near
them, to the neglect of tho olass in goneral.
18. lic-'idiiyf) lesson.—Tlio In6peoting offioor having taken up his
position at one side of tho teaoher, far enough away from him that
no may not disturb the clasp, should then note tho leaohor's method—
(1) whether ho reads aloud a passage, the class listening, and then gets
tho pupils to read ; (2) whother ho detoots mistakes in pronunciation,
in not paying attontion to stops, in not emphasising tha emphotio
word or words, in reading wjth expression, and in inflection of voioa
when nocossary, and how he oorreots these; (3) does ho make the pupils
read again a sentence in which a mistako has boon made, or aiinply
correct the mistake nnd thon allow tho pupil to procoed ; (•!) does ho
dovolo a cortnin timo, Ray, 20 minutes, to roading only, und thon, miy,
20 niinutcs to oxnmining and oxpluininjr tho toxt, uud tho. remainder
ot tho timo to p.-irsinrj, pf.o., or doe.B ho do all theso Biuiultaneously ; (5)

very little veal infllniclioii is given. In most oases tho so-called teacher
is in roality only an examiner. Ho looks over oopios written either at
Bchool or at homo, marks niistakos, but really p,ives uo instruction how
faults should bo roinodiod. A good teacher in this subject should, see
that the head lines givpn to pupils arn in acenrdanoe with the several
Ktandaids of hmul-writing ; as for instance, that iurouud hand the letters
in tho headiugs ary of iho snmo si;;o, that one pupil has not different
niae heading from nnolhor; in u'no that uniformity should be observed
in each standard. Thu (ouchor should ulso obsorvo how pupils sit at
clo.slcs and handle their pens or pencils, so as to correct improper
uttitudos or any luulesiiablo habits. Attention should bo paid to the
forming uf lottery and soiling whether pupils are too slow or too quick
in writing. A good Icuclicr will invariably make use of the black-
board in touching writing, and it is nocessary to see that he can himself
wile dourly anil nnallv or. tbo black-board.
2:5. Gaogrtiplii/.—Tho touching of Geography is, as a rule, most
unsatisfactory in Indian schools, teaohew confining their work to
simply seoing that pupils learn by rote lists of names, without teaching
the intellectual-part of the subject; in faot, the teaching is lifeless.
As liVarou remarks : " It is a deplorable waste of teaohiug power, and
is ruinous both to toaehera and taught to let tbo teaohor's time and
vigour bo spent iu telling the children mere rudimentary facts which
the}7 can gniu from a penny text-book." The Inspecting oflioer should
tbereforo direct his attention to the following points: — (1) To see
that the t<iaoher clearly oxplains to his fclass the difference between-
physical and .political geography; (2) that the rudiments of. physical
geography are first 1 aught; (Ji) that maps are invariably used when
teachiug geography; (A) thnt a tenchor docs not waste his time in
simply testing tho pupi's as to .their knowledge of -the home lesson;
(C>) to BOO that the roaoher makos the losjon intorostiug by giving
liis class extra facts not lucutioned in tlio text-book, espeoially
with reference to historical facts and things of iuteiest oonnottod
with the plaeo or country; (G) to BOO that the teaober has made home
preparation for the lesion to bo taught; (7) does ha use blank mups
or, if these aro not available, does ho draw blank maps on the black
board; 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 not
uiernly learned by roto : in faot, when a pupil simply repeats the book-
word?, bo should not get auy credit for his answer. The auswor should
be in tho pupil's own. words, and should be snob as to show that the
subjfiot has boon really mastered and not simply learned by roto.
AYhon teaching history a map should invariably bo used, so as to
give the pupil uu hifvlleclual idoa of the subjoot. The teacher should
liiinr-oH huro carefully road the lesson for tho day, and al.*o read other
books bearing on iho l'V-tuui, so us to bo ablo to exemplify and throw
extra light on. the soil>j<i:t. At tho sumo timo it should be carefully
soon that tho loss on in history does not degenerate into simply lecture.
This is a fuulfc of \ oucr and iucxperionced teuohers.

sion register, and that the ages of pupils who have passed the Lower
or Uppor Primary examination or Standard I t or IV, as entered in the
admission register, ngroo with tho ago stated iu ilia certificate. Whoa
raiy doubt as to the ago of a pupil arises, looal evidence as far us
aviiihilile should be raudo use of. Ages should invariably be stated
in years fcucl months; thus l<)-8 means 12 years <i mouths.

nftor school-hours, hold moot-ings of tbo neighbouring ijurm, in order to
instruct thorn in thu art of toaouing and eohool-management, an*d for
the purposo of explaining diflioulties which may havo arisen in their
•work. They should nho taku this opportunity of explaining to them
departmental mle::, dto. .It(1 is also desirable that from time to lime
they should hold mootingn f tlio influential numibors nf the community,
pointing out to them the udvautuges of education both to boys aud
girls, nud, ns fi-.r as possible, induce thoin to take practical intorest in
education, especially that of girls.
(c) VISITS AND TOURS.

In the Qouoral Report on Publio Instruction in Bengal, 1903-04, it C j r D l N o P f r.
is stated that tho minimum number of visits may be reduoed if possible dated 8t'hSe
from 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 well
as giving them ruoro time tc work as Inspecting officers. Aooordingly it
has been romarkcd there that " a day spent on each visit of inslruotiou
and inspection is not too much." This was also intended to put a stop
to hurried perfunctory visits, suoh as have boon common hitherto, and
to ensure thorough, or at least improved, inspection, and to train tho
untrained yurm of primary sohools. The number of tour days should
not 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 almost
certainly show perfunctory work. :
Deputy Inspectors, and those Sub-Inspeotors who havo over 15 D. P. I. cir
primary 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 considered

your letter No. 31.7i>, dated lLa 20th April 1901, and hiis detiroi me
to oonvey the following oivlors, in addition to those contninod in the
Government, 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. It nppeai-s to Dis Honour that the B'ze of the present report
can bo materially roduccd without iui paring its usefulness by—(1)
omitting certain stnlistios now givon in tho body of tho report, (2) by
inserting some nf. them in tho app?ndices, and (3) by embodying others
in a separate Provincial Volume. Any points of impoitaueo conneoted
with them, which you may think worthy of comment, should ba dealt
•\vitk in narrative form in the body of tho report. Annexed is a
statement showing the tables in the (several chapters that are to be
omitted from tho report or otherwise doalfc with.
3. The letter-press of the report should also, oa far as possible, be
ourtailed on the lines laid down by the Government of India, espeoially
Chapters 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. The
names 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 in
paragraph '61 of Chapter VII is to be omitted ; -but the figures should
be kept in.a register in your office for reforence. The remarks of tho
Inepoctor-Genoral of. Civil Hospitals on the Medical schools Bhould
also be considerably shortened. "~
5. With regard to Gonoral Table II, detailed proposals are awaited
from you. as to how tho indiroot as well an the direot expenditure
incurred in orlucathig each pupil should bo taken, into ocoount in
strikingthe average.
6. It has bpeii suggested that the subsidiary Tables I, I I (a) and
II (b) should Ve o:nnm(tod from the report, on the grouud that they aru
never used by you. His. Honour, however, desires that you will be
good enough to furnUh Government with your roasons for omitting
these tables, and pending orders thereon, they should be published in
the Provincial Volume. ;
7. . The descriptive portion of tho roport should not exceed 50 pages
in print: this, it is considered,. will provide sufficient space to deal
adequately with all ruattois oonncctod with the reoent developments in
education in Bengal.

juHtily a ri'C.uifsidi'ralioii ol tin' nr.liter. Tho theory underlying the
decision ol' !''.i;l was. that privil•••..^ leavu is intended to bo jm annual

oilier absent for a tow wools should bo carried on by an officer on the
spot wiiliout t \-|.ra exponsu to (l-.o 8f.ate. Now that the regulationa
permit fho combination ul! pnMlego leave with other kinds of leave,
privilep.i: l'vivo is much less frequently taken by itsolf Cor short periods,
and I"111-. fifl.in^ appointnuiuls made iu consequence of an officer
gninjr on''i-iotiuod 1 leave last, for i'oriods of from six months to two

oliioer tnk"r anv pevio Is from six months to two
years, his inci-.m Iriif-ns draws no aeling allowance for tho first thirty
days, although his duties being new to him are for the first month
usually m ire nrduous than in the la,tr>r perioTl for which he rocoivos an
allowance. Aui'ther illustration ol the nuonialous innnner iu which
the rulo operates is to bo found iu the ease of* an oilioor acting for
nno(iii>i' deputed on special duty, who on the completion of his special
"•work prociMnln on privilcgo leave combined with other leave'. I n this
instance tho acting ollicer is with no interruption or change of duties

Mo. t-52, dated the C25l-h October 18SS, frcm tho Oorl. of India, Homo
Dept., to the Accountant-General, Beiujnl.
I AM directed to acknowledge receipt of your letler* No. 13i.lL.,
•TutiiovJ.ireôf' 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 be
held to include n Principal of a Soliool or College. You explain that
Iho practice of youroffico I.IUH, hitherto, been almost exclusively to limit
tlio 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 lately
ckiimt-d privilcgo leave under tbo noto in question on (bo ground of
his n<-thaving beon absent froni his station for more thau 15 days.
IL'OH add that the claim has been supported by the Director, Publio
Instniclion, 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 principle
cunntantuencnii, Bcujrai, of the ruloasi them explained. The circumstance
that nn oflicer (whoso case may, under certain conditions, bo governed
by rule 2, section 73 of tho Civil Leave Code) procures a certificate
showing that ho has not boon absent from his station for more than
15 days-of a vacation does not entitle him to privileî; leuvo under tho
oidinary rules unless he is oompolJod to furotro his. vacation nud remain
at his post in obedience to genernl or special orders issued by competent
authority in any year. It would therefore bo necessary, under tho
operation of rule 2, for tho particular oUloer to show that tie-had asked
for and boon refused leave to absent himself from his- station during
vacation. 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 may
bo nonhtruod as embracing a Principal of a School or College I am to
add that it should be borne iu niind that all privilege lenve is a privilege
to bo onjoyed at the conyonionce of the public servioe as well as that of
tho oflicfir himself ; and this principle requires that officora serving in
departments entitled to periodical vacations should in ordinary cases
avail themselves of leave only during vacation.

Circular .A'o. -j. dated (he 23rd September 1003, by the Director of
Public Instruction.
I nAVI'. tho honour to invito your attention to Sir Alfred Croft's
Circular No. 04, dated tho 23rd, Juno lfiSO on the "subject of.tb.ai'uli
pay privilege leavo of Principals of Colleges.
2. It was stated in this Ciroular thnt Principals of Colleges, who
wore iu direct communication with this oiDce woro not released f rora
duty during vaoations other than the gazetted holidays sanctioned by
Government, and that if any such officer wished to absent himself from
duty during the whole ot any part of a vacation ho mu6t apply to this
office for sanction, which would not bo grantod unless arrangements
could be made to plaoe ono of tho Professors of tho College iu chargo
during bis absence. i
3. It now appears from the correspondence with the Accountant-
Gonoral, Bengal, that the above statement is directly against the ruling
of tho Government of India, in tho Homo Department, contained
in their letter No. 452, dated tho 25lli October 18SH -which.decided that
Principals 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 to
Articles '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 10
days, yot get privilege leavo under tho ordinary rules aa if they did
not enjoy vacation; Artiolo 271 oificcr.^, if thoy. enjoy even a- single
day of tho vacation, eomo uudor the proportionate cnloulaticn of
Artinto 274 as regards full pay and privilege leave.
5. Thcro can bo no question of an Article 273 officer enjoying tho
whole vacation. It is admitted thnt lie hns to remain on duty for a
portion ol tho vacation, aud a oertiflcatG from him stating for what
portion of tho vacation he was on duty is all thnt is necessary to pass
his full pay privilege leave. An'Article 271 officer on the other hav.d
is supposed to avail himself of vacations, and if he claims privilege
.leavo on full pay, ho has to produce orders that he was prevented from
uvailintr himsulf of tho vacation or part of the vacation in any year.

quoted above thnt of tho two advantages of an Article 273 ofilr-r, tb<y

were- made at one time during the year. It would give this oflico 6p ir \l N
much more latitude in making tho necossary arrangement and iu "
tho end rodueo the number of officers transferred, as the officers could
bo aim ply exchanged instead of being" movod to make room for
others. If tho transfers were mado generally in the Christmas
holidays before- tho now school session oomnionced, the niinimiim

fnr as possible, it would be woll to send in auy applications for

(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, roughly
estimated at Us. 15,000, for the clerioal establishment of Deputy
Iuspeotors of Sohools, and for tho inspootion of primary sohools. It is
explained that the staff of Sub-Inspectors available for inspecting
primnry schools, under the supervision of District 13oards, has been
seriously diminished, without auy corresponding reduction in tho work,
they have to do, by tho fact that at least ouo inspecting officer has been
retained in each district for the schools, comparatively few in number,
which are still under tho direct control of Government. Thoso are the
schools situated within tho limits of municipalities or cantonments, and
those on tho estates, tho property of Government. You obsorvo that
Government has handed over certain duties to District Boards, but has
• failed in the mnjority of districts to provide them with a sufficient
agenoy for discharging these duties; and you propose to remedy this
by making over to the Boards tho Sub-Inspectors still under Govern-
niont, appointing oiTioers of somewhat lower position to replace (lie
latter, 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 inconvenient
nrrnngemont. It involves the retention of a Sub-Inspector by
Government in every district, though thore is soldom sullieieut work
for snob an olFioor, tho unduo curtailment of tho 6taff of Boards, n
system of do'ublo inspoolion, two officers travelling over tho same
ground, nnd a serious restriction on the system of payments by
rosnlts. . Tho remedy suggestod is expensive, and is not freo from
objection, as it contemplates the inspection of municipal schools by
ollioers of lower standing than thoso at present employed.
" 3 . On the whole, thoLimitrmnnt-Governor is decidedly of opinion
that if, ia ' dosirnbl*) to rnako over to the District Boards, oi, whure

i/0) in distributing tho primaiy grauts, District Boards bo
required to take into consideration tho nmounts received
by 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 primary
education in khitt malmh, should be devoird exclusively to that purpose,
and should not, be utilized in tho manner in which it has boen at
Midnn.pore. I nm to request that the irregularity committed there rimy
bo .''lopped. As rrgardfi tho fact that certain District Boards, when
at-'certaining tho amount to be paid as rowaids, take into account, in tho
case of khns mahal schools, the sum paid to the gurus of such schools
from tho ono per cent, grant, I am to re-aflirm the orders issued in 188S
that 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 their
exclusion from the usual system of management. It is understood that
the assistance given to primary schools by private zamindars does uot
affect the amount of the reward assignable to them by District Boards,
and it would not be equitable tbiit a different treutmeut should bo
accorded 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> nlioned
in your letter are not ontitled to any asHBtaneo from Government to
ooropeusato thorn for the aid (hey would ho required to give to the
' primary schools in Government states, owing to thoir having lost sight
of the Government Orders of 188h, and that the proper course would ha
to enforce those orders with ofEi ct from the 1st April 1901. A year's
respite is given to avoid sudden inconvenience to District Boards, and
to ouablo them to .make, in the interval, such re-arrangemoiits as they
iuay consider necessary. .
' (c) CIRCLE SCHOOLS.

1. The circle school system prevails in a few districts only. It was
devised with tho object of increasing tho numbor of middlo class schools
at a small cost. A locality, having two or Ihroo promising upper primary
Bchools situated within threo or four miles of each other, is selected
us n "Circle," 'and over theso throe schools an itinerant teacher,
called a " Circle Pandit," is appointed. It is his duty to travel from
one- to the other, generally upending two days a week at each, and to
improve them into middle schools. It is not uncommon for the boys
of thn first olas? to niovo about with tho circle pandit.
2. By tliia system throe secondary schools take the place of throe
priiiunio . nn'l tho extni cost i? thul of a single paudit such as is
generally put in charge of a singl" school.

No. 90S, dated the 3.">rd B'hrmry 100^, from the Oovl. of
Bengal, Central Dipt., to D. P. I.
1 AM tlivi'ctodifco ncknowlodyo the rejoipt of your letter No. 13844,
duU»l tlio 2,!nl Deaomhor l!)0o, with whioh you submit certain proposals
rogiirlin^ 1.1 to instruction. o£ uboriginal ohildrati during the early stages
of (heir education.
2. You uro o£ opinion that, in the higher stages of vernaoular
education, unoriginal chibhou must, in all cusoa, bu taught in one of the
tbrf>o jiiincij't\l Aryan language? of the Provinoo, viz., Bongali, TJriya
and Hindi (including Urdu); and that ia the lower .stages, when they
umliM'stnud a:iy one of thoso languages, it should be the medium of
instmotion. On this jirineipli!, ifc has beou suggosted that tho Tipporas-
ot ChiUugong.and Ihe.ijantuls of Midmvpore and Murshidabad should
be Isuiirhl. in r<enâli, and I ho Juangs, Kolsond Bhuyans of the Orissa
Division in Uiiya. _'
It has also boou suggested that in ltajshahi, Bugra and other
districts of tho Bajshahi .Divinion, where their number is Bmall, Santals
and other nborigmal pupils should bo taught in Bengali.
3. You recommend, howovor, that in certain special inetanoea the
•vornaouUir.s of aboriginal tiibo3 should bo recognized to a limited
extent; IUJ-K accordingly propuso that Tibetan ia Darjoeling and
Smilali in Alourbhauj in thu Orissa Division and in those plaoes in tho
Chota Nagpnr and 'Bhngnlimr '.Divisions, where neither Bengali nor
lliudi is understood, should be rccoguizod as tho medium of instruction
up to tho Lower Primiu-y standard for the children who speak those
laiiguaî'S. You are rilso oC opinion thai tho (laros and other cognate
tribe** in tho Dacca Uivifion should, if possible, recoivo their oral
jufliiiiirum during tho first tv.-u yours of the irifunt standard in theii
own vinnuoulftv; mid Kii^g'-st tli:tt Lower l'rininry -pat/isulas conduoted
Vy [/urns, who cither belong lo thfif aboriginal clnsses or at least tin

4. You also recommend Hint, whilo nboriginal languages nre to bo

g i e d up to tlio Lower Primnry standard, the language in wliioh
instruction is to be imparted in the higher stages should bo introduced
ns a second langnngo ia standards I and I I ; and that the Muham-
miui-ins of Oriftsn, should bo taught iu Urdu or Uriya at their option
up to. (ho Middle standard.

i n . In middle schools the head vernaculur teacher should bo 11

solnrtod from students who have paseod Iho fiual oxamination of a firdt-l |
grado training school.
17. fu Middle schools nil subjects aro to bo taught through the n. p.
modiinn of tin1 vornsioular; in other word.", tho schools must bo p l a a d !-!r(is
upon M. vernacular basis, and when English is tamrht, it is to bo taught *" ' ' " '
us a ln.i)«i-iingo merely. The same will hold good in tho lower depart-
ment of High schools placed on a vernacular basis.
IS. Tc.nchiiuj of English.—Tho department is certainly not opposed n. r.
to, but in favour of, tbo teaching of English in Middlo schools, pro- o','irAN,'.;'1T
tided thn(. (ho touching of it is aatisfactory. Tho English toucher must, i7
huu'SMi", hii.vo passed at least the I1'. A. examination, and tho arrange-11
raonts for tlio payment of his ealaiy must ho satisEaclory. .'
1". Scliool Library.—If a clerk and librarian is employed by a
school, ho is responsible primarily lor the safe custody of the library
books and school records.
Tho keys of alniirahs and boxes containing. the books should be
in bis bands, but the I1ead.7inast.or i s ' t o see every day, •when the suhool
closes, that thoso have boon duly locked.
Tho clerk is also responsible for the library catalogue, and for <he
proper arrangemont of the books, under the head-master's supervision
and direction. •
At the.eud of eaoh official year the head-master should take careful ;•
stock of all the library books and records, and note and report to
the Divisional Inspeotor any loss or damage that has occurred during
tho year. • ' • - . "
20. Tho Secretaries of sohnola aided by the Department are
authorized (0 grant leave to teachers drawing Rs. 20 and under, subject
to confirmation by tho Inspector in tho caso of high schools and by
the Deputy Inspector in the casa of middle schools. A report of leuve
granted should bo forwarded in each enso. If the Deputy Inspector
doubts the propriety of sanctioning the loave, he should report tho
matter to tho Inspector. Applications for casual loave and lenvo on
urgent privato aJfairs, -which are (uibmitlod after tho leaver has boou
arailod of, nro viewed with strong suspicion, and in uo oaoo is leave on
urgent privato affairs sanctioned, unless the nature of the urgency is
explained in dotail.
21. Leave to teaohers in aidod schools, drawing more than l?s. 20
a month, may bo granted, subjeot. Q> confirmation by the Inspector.
22. Surplus balances at the credit, of grant-in-aid schools, when
they reach a sum of Rs. 20 and upwards, must iuvuriably bo deposited
in 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 show
all receipts and disbursementB. It in strictly forbiddun for such schools
to keep a "private account,''and when it is discovered that this prac-
tice- prevails, the tchool ia liable to forfeiture of graut.
'.M. ] n Un-ping the account? of aided schools, the following
'l.'h'.' lKiOni'uis k>r a month Hmuld bo made up and closed in Ilia

25. In Oovenmiont and 13oard middle schools it should be
understood that (ho jiooplo of Mio locality in "which such sohoola aro
established will provido suitablo furniture and houses for the schools
nnd will lieon them in proper• repair.

(7) The authorities o£ tho schools concerned should therefore \w\>\

thoi,- future priae-dintribvitions just before the Christens holidays in

('•) ]t is hoped tbifc tho District Officers will he good enough to
help lini school authorities, ns far as possible, to curry out these
j'i'oposijd arruiigoincnts which will materially help the school iu its
woik and raise the school in (lie estimation of tho local public.
i><). h.cal Holidays —

(I) Tt appears that some misconception exists in many quarters
regarding tJio scope and application.of IV.ngal Govcrnmeut •Finani'ial
1 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 shotdd
or should, not jôt the benefit pf that circular.
\l2) The extra holidays snnctionod by Govomment are evidently
iijcnnt for Government officers who enjoy'gazetted holidays only. But
zilla schools have a certain totsd number, of holidays sanctioned for
them every year, and, as that total is largo, enough to meet (ill the
requirements of such schools, the head-master of each zilla school should
in the •beginning of every year prepare a list of holidays, including in
it goKotted hiilidnye, summer holidays and all important local holiday*,
the total of ad those not exceeding 65, and get the list approved by the
Inspector of Schools. I t is believed that lists of holidays are already
porpared 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 the
schedule annexed to tho Government circular reforred to above me not
over and above the 65 day* fixed for zilla schools, but are included in
them.
(3)-The!above observations apply also to Colleges and Collegiate
Schools.

»Sir Edward. Hack to attend a senus of Provincial Conferences and

(joverninont of Imlia beliovod that "greater success was <o be expected

the email reforms which nre within their means and opportunities
would bo moro likely to produoe substantial results tlian special
instruction in particular agricultural processes." It followed theroforo
that (ho oduoational question wbioh was given to euoh Province to
answer was not merely how to adapt education to the trainins o{
agriculturists, but how the plan of instruction should be so fashioned as
to promote in the pupils the power of assimilating easily any kind of
technical instruction.
2. This phase of tho question was discussed at the mooting of the
Bongal Provincial Conference bold on the 6th of January 18015, and
it was suggostod that the oourse of sciouoo in primary and middle
schools should be roconsiderod and so graduated as to include at
different Btnges branches of the olcnionls of agriculture, care being taken
to exclude words or ideas of which the pupils could havG no umler-
otandiug. Effect was to bo given to this resolution by arranging for
the introduction of a oompulsory course of Elementary Science,
illustrated as far as practicable by object-lessons, and the Director of
Public Instruction was asked to roport how he proposed to give efl'out
to these suggestions. This bo did in August 1897, and in March 1898
n stimulus to the ostublishmont of agricultural- education wns given by
the opening of the agricultural classes at tho Sibpur Engineering
College. This was, however, only a scheme for a '• Higher Agricul-
tural Education" and still loft out of account tho objects of the original
Boheme, the pupils of the vernacular schools ; and in August 1S98 the
Lieutenant-Governor called for proposals of a wider nature aimed at

3. Tho Committee submitted n rareful and thorough report in
April 1899. Tho full text of it wns published in July 1899. The
Committoo came to the conclusion that the aims of the Govern-
ment could only bo fulfilled by the introduction of the methods
originally put forward by Froebel and now known under tho name of
Kindorgnrton traiuing. Under that system children are trained and
not taught in the ordinary acceptation of the word. They aro so
trained as to do nnd learn things of themselves. They are oncouracred
to feel that each one possesses a certain amount of innate intelligence
Bud initiative, the gradual development of which depends on tho
child himself and his personal activity. They are led to see that eyes,
ears and hands all help in the acquiring of knowledge, and thfsoVre
the channels through whioh under that system all first knowledgo is
acquired. Closely allied with the methods of Kindergarten touching
is th« so-railed objoot-leBson teaching; and it wns 'lie opinion of tlm
I'triiiit-it' ir indication.
(Joimnitlei! Ihiii Kbjtw't.lnFsoiia mu?t bo insisted on'if habits of observa-

tion nro to be i'o-tiji-o'l, ami th;it they should be mndo a menus for
UKiiilnl e\eit:i;i'IHUI not merely a method of imparting a miscellaneous
or even valuable informal ton. The (Joniniittoe romarked that Kinder-
p u h u I r:>!tiiii'.r "t:i.\ br an i.\pnnsivo find elaborate form of education,
mid tlmi. thi' "liil:if? of 1'ioclji I,'1 tho appliances with which the
system is ord'iiaiily c-irrii:d.out in. European schools, wera beyond the
menus of Indian KHIIODIS. -They nssorted, however, that a form of
Kindergarten endd he ilovihcd for India, which would he suitable to
lho circumstances and local conditions of tho pupils, and which would
yet entail litllo or no (wpemlituro. Tlicy advised that tho prinoiples
thoj' 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 y e n s of a chiUV'fi life, from about 5 to 7,
should lie devoted almost entirely to training tho senses and powers of
observation, 'linn 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 and
inoluding the lower primary stage, and that the viirious subjects tnught
up 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 proposed
that free-hand drawing and drill should run through the whole course.
Manual triiining for boys should begin in the A class of the lower
primary, while needlework for girls should begin in class B of the
jiwe.r primary. A. simple reading nnurso was arranged a? follows:—
.('"or boys in town schools?, somo oloment-nry notions of the simplest facts
nnd 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 girls
in both town nnd country, a similar course of Botany, Natural Hiatorf,
nnd Domestic Economy only; tho renders wore to bo written in tho
most simple anil comprehensible language, and to bo illustrated and
iwpliiined ns fur :IH possible bv means of object-lo;->sons. In the
Writing coun-e Ihc forms of .simple docuniPiits which are commonly
used by raiyat.s were to be introduced as exercises.- Mensuration was
to include a course of nimple ]»ra::l.ieal (ioomotry. In tlie two highest
pliindnrds Kuclid wa siul rod lined a; nn n.l I rrnnlivo, instead of, as at present,
ii r-funpul.sory yubject.' Under the hend of Literaturo and Poetry,-the
snbjoct of moral I laiaing wns to be considorod in the saloction of pieces.
-1. The Onrnmitfne observed tlmi thoie were three neenssary
proliminiirifs to t.h" inlroduc'ion of tlinir scheme. First, I he immediate
introduction of instruction in the now methods into training schools,
t-o an to enable I l.u-ni to turn out .rapidly tuin-hers qualified to tako up
s'-lnifil work under tho new system. Second^ tho traiuing of Inspecting
J'anilil.s. Suh-I nspeclors, !i-nd Dejiuly Inspectors of School.0, who would
bnvo to be familin-iisi'd with tho new methods. Third, tho preparation of
manuals for the Iraehnrs iind (pxt-hoofcs for tho pupils. '1'hey con-
pidoiod I h:i.( a period of two and-a-b.alf yoniM should bo allowed to
rhuuii', fi-.i:iI f.ii • -!.i' ' of pnbli(\i,tifin of Uie syllabus, for schools to adapt.
themselves to tho altered requirements, and they recommended that
their new system should be introduced throughout the Province, and
not 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 information
and invited uny who might desire to do so to submit criticisms on the
proposals. Tho call was widely responded to. Numerous represent-
ations from public bodies were received by Government, aod the
nowspapors commented at length on the Committee's scheme. The
criticisms on tho whole were not by any means unfavourable Those
fHat. disparaged tho schemo were vory ofton based on a misconception
of: tl 10 proposals. Thus, for instanco, it was distinctly laid down in
the original syllabus that arithmetic was to be taught as at present, and
thnt both European and Nativo systoms were to bo included. Much,
however, of tho adverse criticism was based on tho supposition that
instruction in zomindari and mahajani accounts was to bo abolished.
. Another mistaken conception pn which some of tho criticisms
weru based wns that the proposed scheme was meant to give scientific
and technical education of a character suited to the agricultural classes
only. But tho Committee expressly declared their intention to give
into the hands of pupils lesson-books on subjects with which they have
to do ovory day of their lives, instead of on matters altogether i'oreign to
their experience, and thus to help in cultivating- their faculties of
observation and making their education more real than it is at present.
A third objeotion was based on the contention that tho proposed
schomo aimed at teaching too many Mibjoots, whereas in effect the
subjects intended to be taught ore Reading, Writing, and- Arithmetic
as before, with drill and drawing added, the burden on students being
sensibly reduced chiefly as regards the quantity of book work.
This proposed reduction has lod very many of the critics to assume
that 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 was
said that this neglect would affect tlio prospects of Bengali literature.
The obvious reply to remarks of this nature is that a literature
cannot bo callod into existence by the prospects of books being selected
for primary examinations; nor can vernacular literary work of (he
highest merit be prescribed for elemontary sohools since the children
would bo unable to understand them.
6. The former Committee was reconstituted to consider theso
reviews and representations, and they altogether HeJd 15 meetings since
the 3rd of January 1000. Tho results arrived at by the Director of
1'ublic Instruction and tho Committee with regard to the original
proposals as viewed in the light of tho criticisms given, will bo found
in the Director of Public Instruction's report No. 3126, dated 8th May
1900.

tho original proposals might bo modified-iu the following manner:—

(•1) JJambny-work and basket-weaving should be omitted from tltn

(5) Tlio "Writing' eonren should bo extended up to tho Ia3t (that i?a

: flniH (-niptioriblo to pi'cscriho tli.e writing of more vernacnlor
dofiinionts and accounts than was orginally contemplated.
Tlinv admiltcd (ho danger of accentuating the already existing
timdency on (ho piivt of parouts iv ;<ond their children to high schools
or other English schools at tho very commencement of their school life,
nnd recommended, in supplement of their original proposals, certain
measures to chock this tendency and to give that prominence to
vernacular education whioli ought to obtain in the early training of
Indinn bey.1?. They also recommended that a certain elasticity should
bo allowed al. first in tho manner of teaching the proposed course.
^. The Coinmitteo wero not, however, disposed to modify the viewia
they hnd expreescd with reganl to, f ho principles on which (he syBt&m
of vernacular education should bo based. They declined to abandon
tho principles of tho Kindergarten sj'stcm. I t vena, they said, now
nnivcrsnlly rocogiiipud aa.lhs best for infant education, and as touching
\v object-lessons is only an extension of the same system, the whole
srhnnio (liey had reoommonded for tho vernacular school was r e a l y
bnsed on it.
As (o wluthcr tho 6cbei.no fhoul.l be tried tentatively or not in the
first-instance, (he Committee wcro of tho opinion, as before, that it
should at tho outset bo brought into action throughout the whoLe
I'rovinco.

dotailod statement and explanation of them, and he desired tlie

Director to answer tho following questions:—
(1) How far the Committee's proposals varied from the system which
was tried in tho Central Provinces, and to a certain r-xieut
subsequently abandoned; what reasons there were for antici-
pating a different result for the proposed plan in Bengal and
how far the proposals received support from any.esperieuce in
other Provinces.
(2) Whether the new system should bo introduced simultane-
ously into (a) all pri-nmry and middle schools oror the
wholo Province, or (b) into sclented aroai, or (c) into selected
schools.
(3) Whether tho now syllabus should be introduced into the lower
classes of high schools which correspond to tho corresponding
classes of middle-and primary schools..
10. On the first question, tho Direotor of Public Instruction ba3

furnished an explanation in his letter No. 222.Tr., dated 17th -October
J.900, whioh forms an annexure to this Resolution. Ho has explained
that in the Central Provinces the Kindergarten system has been giveu
up 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-day
system, instead of the wholo-day course, and, second, because the
oxponse was found to bo intolerable of the stereotyped and costly
European "Froebol's Gifts." The fact that these gifts are quita
foreign to an Indian child's experienco and that the pupil ordinarily
ooultt not handle the gifts, and eo actually engage in tho object-lesson
rendered success in this particular experiment in Kindergarton a ^reat
difficulty, and almost invif.od its failure. The Central Provinoes systoai
must bo modified in tho future if it. is to become a success, and must
ho made to suit Indian pupils and Indian ciroumstancos, aud also be
made of suoh a kind that ils cost enables every pupil to take part ia
tho exercise. It is opon to very gravo doubt, he paid, whether, the
gifts of coloured worsted balls, wooden cubes, Ao., which may and do
apponl to European children, will appeal equally to Indian children, aud
lienco when the Committee considered the question of tho introduction of
Kindergarten, they very rightly discarded Froebel's Gifts altogether;
and while accepting Froebol's principles, they attempted to work out the
application of his prinoiplos by tho use of purely indigenous materials ;
and of suoh a kind that every child can provide its own gifts to
illustrate the principles of teaching. Honco £ho withdrawal of tho
Kindergarten system from the rural schools in the Central Province*
cannot, in the Director's opinion, be taken to represent at all a itiiluru
of Kindergarten principles in Indian sohools, but it Teullv
only tho want of SUP.CCH.S of a particular (and for Indiu, a
i'oriii oF Iho application of tl'O principles.

primary and miildlo school-teachers in Uengnl, numbering some 50,000

lit tho least, uoino of whom («>., those who are in charge of good
schools) nre fairly intelligent and ablo, while others aro of a 'very
inferior'typo, such as the gurus who start the so-called season patliwlas..
Tho task of trniuing such an euormons number of .teachers would l:e
colossal, and it is feared that tbo difficulties which might arise in this
matter would militate against the success of (he schomcj and might
givo rise to doubts as to (ho soundness of the scheme itself.
In the cn.'iO of (ho second plan, limiting the introduction of tho
sohemo to a sclented area, the difficulties to bo met aro of a precisely
similar nature to thoso just described, though smullnr in amount. Tho
main 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 to
introduce the scheme. Another difficulty would be that of selectiou
of the areas for experiment, and n further slight difficulty might
bo found in cases where boys migrated from a school in a selected
area to another in which tho old course- of instruction wa3 still
maintained.
In the caso of the third course, the proposal would be to limit
tho compulsory introduction of the new scheme to those schools
where boys are being actually sent up for competition for scholarships
of tho middle, upper primary, and lower primary stagos, in which
classes of Bchools the gurus, are generally experienced and trained men,
and to leave tho gurus in schools of a lower typo, such as season
jhithsa/os, either to continue to teach as now the oil system of
instruction, or to attempt the now, should they wish to do EO, or feel
they 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, oxactly
one-third of the wholo, compete for scholarships.
The Lieutenant-Grovernor has no doubt that the lnst is the
soundest course In recently rocomvueuding tho introduction of
reforms 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 on
the fact that time would be required to organize the training of toaohers,
of whom those selected for initial instruction would be aided at
the outset by the couusel and instruction of oxpert instructors. The
Lieutenant-Governor is of opinion that these considerations have equal,
if not greater, weight in Bengal. It may bo hoped that tho inducement
hold out under this third course to tho most competeut of the gurus to
adopt the new system will succood in providing the best schools with
masters willing to learn and more or less ablo to becomn themselves
efficient teachers under tho guidance and instructions of experts. And
progress will be facilitated not only by tho initial restrict ion of tho
numbers to bo trained, but ulso by the circuuistaiu'o that thaso Y.-hn will
come under first instruction will bo the host of tlnnr class. Tho DinMor
has now finally arrived at the samo conclusion, and tho 1 auntiiiunt-
Governor accepting, as he hns, the principle of tho proposal, decides that
they shall bo carried out by this method. Tko scholarship exnimualiuai

(ho last Few ji.'firs tho lowor clauses -of high English schools were
conducted on a vernacular basis, ami aro now conducted on what ia
called tho JinL'.lish busis. This) means that even in the lowest classes
of such schools .1'nplish is alnm*t exclusively used as the raedium of
ijislruclion for the subjects that aro taught in them. I n plainer words
n child is (aught (lie rudinionts. of geography aiid history, through
.English .Bent CHOPS and English explanations before ho has mastered
J'jnglish sontenees for himself. It is not surprising t h a t ' this Rystoin
has boon found to be perfectly disastrous to the sound instruction of
tho 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 English
too young, if ho was to be proficient in the language, and that
it is a wasto of time lo teach him rudiments in his vernacular and
tho higher t;tnge in English. Tho experience of even a few jrears has
ihown this belief to ! be entirely false. The child gets his instruotiou.
from a master of tho lowest clusn ; his instruction is a matter of roto
und not of intelligonce; and his English is of a typo from which it
lmvor rooovers. This most iiernieiouB plan was begun in private
Hfhools; it hns extenilcd to tho Government high B«hocOs and aided
sclioola, appnrenlly from tho fear (hut, they would lose pupils if they
did not follow suit. No proper investigation of the merits of the two
Bj'fitomH appears to lvavo preceded the• nhango of basis, and cortaiuly no
formal ûnction from, tho Government, has over been given to the
system of tvaohing children in a foreign language from practically
lluv curliest utagofi of thoir inslrudion. The teaching in the lowest
chides of high schools through (lio medium of English was formally
oniai'li.'red nhd formally oondomncd at a conference of the Inspootors
of. iiebools which sat early (his year, and by which a return to tho
fonin-r voniaenlar basis of iscfrrnrtion in the lower olassos of sucli
leiiool-i wii? fidvnnntnd. In 8ir I'clin AVoodhurn's opinion tha con-

training in their own vornaoular canuot but bo wrong. Where ins-

truction is given from the very couimenenmont of n, child's attendance
at school in a foroign language, tho result could only b9 what it has
proved to bo—that the pupil loams merely by rote without in most
cases obtaining any intelligent grasp of the meaning of what he is
being taught; and if education, ia to bo on a sound basis, we mast
Tovert without dolay to tho system from which we have so rapidly nnd
almost unconsciously departed. In all Government high schools tho
medium of instruction in the lowest classes will boreaftcr bo in the
vprnuculur, 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 encouragement
to that nnd, ho directs that students in the lower classes of high and
nriddlo sohools corresponding in educational standard to similar classes
in middle and primary schools shall be allowed to compote for nriddlo
and upper primary scholarships on the same terms as students in middle
find upper primary schools. There is at present no examination for
such scholarships in the lower olassos of those schools, and he hopos
that this now privilege will form an effective incentive to the.adoption
of a system which appeals alike to experience and patriotism. Tho sub-
stitution of vernacular for English text-books in the first three lowest
classes is probably the first 6top necessary to the reversion to the old
system.
13. Having decided what should be done, the next and far moro
diffioult step is to settle the manner in which eflept is to bo given to
these conclusions. Obviously, the very first mutter to be taken in
hand is tho preparation of manuals for the guidance and use of the
toaohers in the now system and of roaders for tho children; the second
is the training of the teachers. Details as to tho methods to be
folloAvod with reference to (ho'proparation and supply of the lequisite
primers and Teacher's Manuals will be published presently, but it is
to bo clearly understood that one of the essential principles to be
followed 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 anticipate
that the compilation of thoso manuals and primers with tho caro aud
clearness that it is necessary will occupy .tho bettor part of a jrear. In
the meantime, tho Kurscong Training Sohool (whioli will commonco
work in February and for which a Principal of spooial experience has
already arrived from England) will be utilized in tho careful instruction
in tho Bystein of tho masters of tho nine otli9r training schools of tiio
Province
As soon as tho teachers' manuals hove boon prepared, a copy will
in tlio first place bo supplied to each momber of (ho inspecting staff
(Inspectors, Deputy Inepcotors, iSub-Inspectors, Inspecting ]'ainlils,

tlinfc in porno cns;os literary studies had been positively improvod by tho
introduction of tho now system—a result accounted for paitly by tho
in.crpp.Fcd intelligence of tho children, partly by tlie constant change
and variety of their occupation, ond partly by thoir incnasod intercut
in tlieir work." It is true that tho reformed methods will have tho
effect <>l! giving to those boys who intend either to follow practical
professions, sucli as thop.o of Mcdicino nud Engineering, or to take up
as tho occupation of their life nny of tho various trades and handicraft a
of the fi'iiin.try, a far better preparation than tho narrower system
1
hitherto in 1'oreo. Ho far this is an immenso gain. For, as tho Irish
CounnisMonors pointed out,' tho present system of primary education
is so one-sided in its character that it leaves the pupils quite unprepared
for technical education.' But, to quote their concluding words, "the
Bystora of education modified as we propoEO" (and it may be noted
that theeo proposals coincide in principle entirely with thoso embodied
in tho present scheme) "would givo an all-round training to tho
faculties of tho children, and would thus hi}' a solid foundation for any
system of higher education, literary, scientific or technical, which might
afterwards be found suitable to their talents aud circumstances." The
width of the Commission's enquiries gives a special weight to their
findings, nud the Lieutenant-Govornor believes that tho results of the
system will not be difforent in Bengal from thoso which have followtd
it elsewhere. . '

Some solids may bo converted info liquids by hooting, e.g., wax.
Porous bodies.—Tak« a piece of charcoal and show tho pores.
Examine also a pieoe of ini'lazod pottery. Wuter percolates
through tho pores. Examine blotting paper.
Liquids and some of their properties.—As an example, take water.
I t has no shape of its own ; it takes the shapu of tho vessel into
which it is poured. Jt breaks into drops. It flowB down. Fill a
bottle full of water. Try to cork it. Tho wator is difficult to
compress.

The action of water in nature and on the surface of tho land.
Water, when it falls in tîe form of rain, etc., partly runs
over the surface of tho ground into tanks^ streams, and rivers:
it partly sinks into tlie ground to pass into wells and to
re-appear in the form of springs, etc., at a lower level, and
it partly passes again into the air in the form of vapour.
Tho aotiou of heavy rain in cutting channels in the
earth 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 or
river, should he carefully watched hy the pupils.
The pupils should study tho nature- of tho nearest stream
of water, determining1 in what part of the stream tlie current
is most rapid, etc., and ugcortaining how it carries away soil
and even snanll stones, and how it cuts away its hanks, etc.
The turbid water produced hy a rapid .stream should
he placed in u glass tumbler, and the deposit of silt or soil
found at tho bottom on standing should bo observod.
Attention should be drawn to the faot that iu this way new
earth 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 or
sloping? Is tho ground in tho neighbourhood of tho school,
village or town level or sloping, tho nature of tho land being
ascertained by watching the flow of water after rain (i.e.,
by tho drainage) ? It should be noted that tho greater the
elopo of tho land, tho moro rapid will bo tho flow of water.
Tho action of rain and running water in modifying tho
eurfaco of tho land must bo fully oxplainod.
Tho differences in tho erosion of laud by running water
when (a) the land surface) is bare, and (b) when the imid is

engaged tho attention of this Government during tho years 1899 to
IS'01. Tho chief problem lo bo Bolvod concerned the requirements of
the iu;ii':nHurul. population, hut it was recognised that tho educational

1 to VI, which is still iu force. It was stated that the syllabus
referred to-was based on tho methods originally put forward by
rioebel and generally known undor tho name of Kindergarten train-
ing, and that that system had them adapted to tho oiroumstanres 'mid
local conditions of tho pupils of this Province A separate svllnbus

2. The Government of India rovertod to tho subject of education
in rural primary schools in tlioir lie-solution of tho 11th March l'JOl
which reviewed the history and progress of education in India They
ebiled, ia parngraph '21 of tho Hosolution, that tho instruction of the
masses in KUCII wtbjuctti as would best fit thorn for tlieir position in life
involved eomo differentiation in tho courses for rural sohooh, especially
in connexion with tho attempts which wero being rmido to connect
primary teaching with familiar objects. They further laid down that
tho aim of rural schools should bo, not to impart definite agricultural
teaching, but to give to the children a preliminary training0 which
would mako thorn intelligent cultivators, would train them to be
observers, thinkers and experimenters in however humble a manner
and would protect them in (heir business transactions with the land-
lords to whom they pay rent and tho grain-doalera to whom they
dispose 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 of
agriculturists to a Committee of Government officers. This Committee
found that the principal points in respoet oc which tho rural schools
of the Provinces were deficient, wero—•
(«) that tho courses of instruction were too long, too advanced
and too diversified; and
(b) that tho text-books proscribed wero not written in simple
language whioh tho rural population could understand.
The Committee were of opinion that in purely agricultural tracts
the existing lower primary schools should be converted into schools
intended primarily for the sons of agriculturists, with short courses of
instruction specially suited to tho needs of that class. It wns not
proposed that any change should bo made in the instruction given in
the lower classes of upper primary, middle and high schools, or in lower
primary schools m towns or in villages in which agriculturists did not
preJominato. The Committee recommended that tho rural prinmry
schools which they proposed to create should toach a oourse extending
over four years, and contain an infant class for children under seven
years 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 TJIQ
Committee further suggested tho linos on which the curriculum for'(he
four classes proposed might proceed, and recommended that u Com •
irntteo of duly qualified officers should bo formed to prepare model

men find ii!;!:oc[:iLiiniK wiwo ' consultod. All tho material collected was
tlvjn tlisciif sod by ii Commit too 'of'of Hoi n! a and others "interested in.
education. This Committee did not altogether ngrec with the proposals
nim.lo h>- I ho provions Committee. What t hoy proposed was that the
loner primmy course, slightly modified, Bhould bn dividod into two
Eontions—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 the
other lo bo directed to tho study of such additional matters as the
training of tho POUROS, drawing, drill and manual exercises. The first
KL'cliou, it wns proposed, should bo no anunged as to provide for impart-
ing Iho nrUnifMits of souud cduoatiou to all, inoludiug the ohildren of
africultvirists. vhilo tho other would bo taken up by those who
napinid to a higher education. rJ.'lio second section was in fact to bo
supplcinenfiirv to tho first, and was intondcl to bring the curriculum
of a rund school taken both sections up to the standard of an urban
prim my Bchool. Tho subjects of the first section wove to be taught in
tho morning, and tlioso of the socontl or supplementary section in the
evenin"- or vice reran, as ciiomustances might dictate. No change was
proposed in regard to tho existing course of studies in the lower classes
of upper primary, middlo and high sohools, or in lower primary
poliools in urban areas. As to the preparation of test-books, this
Committee mjootcd tho proposal of the former Oommittoe that the
books should first be prepared in English and then translated into the
vernaculars, und roooinmondod tbaf representative Committees Bhould be
appointed to prepare text-bonk? in tho vernaculars according to a
pyllabuR, which was to be worked out by a Committee with-wider
educational experience. A. Special Committee was accordingly
unpointed to draw up tbo svllahu; of etndiosior rural primary schools.
!j. Tbii Special Uominitlou, which consisted outiroly of persons
actually on"-.igod in work oonnfi.;tfid wifh education, found themselves
ciillod upoiM.o'proparo a detailed syllabus on lines which did not appear
to them to be nltogotbor sound. Tlroy could not, for example, admit
that' a pouomo of instruction, which was intended for the children of
ngrioultumt.n, but which relegntod tho training of the senses to a anp-
plemontnvy cutrioulum from which such children would bo for the most
part excluded, could bo regarded as anything but rotrograde. They
were also :Uongly of opinion that, tho defects roforrcd to at tho begin-
ning of paragraph 3 above, which had been found in tho courses of
instruction followed at, and in tho .text-books used in, rural schools,
oxistud. equally in Iho caso of urban schools. I n short, the Committee
Cult strongly '.hat tho existing curriculum for tho lower primary stand-
anln was'' not stitislactory for -schools of any class. Jt necmed to them
nKUTMivisr t-lia*- if a pylbihus could be formulated_ which realised Iho

essentials equally adapted to urban ond rural areas. Keeping in mind

the mnxim of tho Government of India that the aim of rural ?ohoob
should be not to impart definife agricultural teaching, bat to give to
the children a preliminary truiniug whinh would make them intelli-
gent oultivntore, and would train them to be observers, thinkers aud
experimenters in however humble a manner, they did not see how it
oould ovfiii bo hoped that this would bo obtained as the result of a
syllabus, which, confined itself mainly to the "<breo R V ' . Nor c«uld
they admit thai, a syllabus in which "nature study," by which is meant
the actual nmdy of natural objeots, did not find a prominent plnoe,
could bo regarded us a serious attoni|t to renliso the aim of rural
Eolioob us the (iovernmont of India had defined it. I n the opinion of
the Committee tho syllabus of 1901 had failed, booauso it bad allowed
reading about objects to bo substituted for the study of tho objeots
themselves, and had ignored the fact that tho faoulty of observation is
not 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 cultivating
classes than in that of any other section of tho community ; and it
appeared 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, compaia
and contrast the objects which -surround them. The principles which
uudorlio the development of a child's faculties are the same in the
oountry as in the town ; it is the application of t.ieso jumciplus which
varies with tho environment.
6. As a result of these considerations, the Special f-omtnittee drew
up a syllabus of studies for infant olasses and standards 1 a n i II,
designed to embody educational principles applioabln to both rural and
urban soh::ols, and to indicate- the methods by which those principles
can bo oarriod into effect. As n proludo to the syllilmsan introduction
is given, w:>ioh is intended to illustrate lhn fiinclion whicli a soiiool h a
to poriorm in rotation to the larger life of tho community in gouoral and
to emphasise tho ethical aspect of. all true education. Science primers
have 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*aru
therefrom, has been insisted upon. Tho value to tho future cultivator
of studying plant-lifo on these linos has boon emphasised, and an
extract from a Note on Sohool Garden* recorded by .Mr. F. (J. Sly,
when olliciatin^ as Inspector-General of Agriculture in In'lia, has been
opponded to tho nyllabus in order to emphasize the conditions under
which alono a sohool garden can bo made of Iruo eduoationul value.
Finally, provision bas been ma.de for the teaching of supplementary
subjects. Tho syllabus thus drawn up was subraiti.ed for opinion to tho
gentlemen who constituted tho OonuniAtoe referred to fit the beginning
of 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 been
mado in the 6yllubus.

their studies in 1910 for tho lower primary examination to bo held at
tbo end of 1911 will Btudy during 1910 according to the revised sylla-
buses. No further lists of approved books for the infant section nud
standards I and I I will bo issued until books written in accordance
•with tho now syllabuses are ready. Tho first list of approved books
written according to the new system will be issued in July 1909. The
use of books written in accordance with the syllabus now in force will
not be permitted after the let January 1911 in any schools maintained
or aided by publio funds, or in sohools which enjoy the privilege of
competing for Govoinrnpnt scholarships or of receiving Government

Ho should ninkn tho picture a lifo-ltke anil instructive exhibition of

oharnotor, 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 the
ufio of music in wpll-ohoson songs or of appropriate passages from the
best 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 uiera
cheerful observance of school regulations. Iu the matter of this moral
training the most important fuotor will bo the habitual oonduot of the
teaehur iu the eohool. If he is thorough, patient, kind but firm, and
eorupulously fair, those traits will ovoko birnilar traits in his pupils, aud
will give point and force to any moral instruction ho may attempt. A
toaohcr who is obviously slipshod and lazy discoursing to children about
tho value of industry and thoroughness is nn absurdity which cannot
but prove morally disintegrating to a child. Stories iu roadeis
dosignod to inculcate morals tend, if silly as they frequently are, to
make moral instruction ridiculous. Even if they are good, thsy are of
little value, unless they are backed by personal example.
Tho ovory-day incidents of school-life will enable the teaohers to
impress upon the children the importance of punctuality, of good
milliners, of cleanliness and neatness, of cheerful obedience to duty, of
consideration and respoot for others and of honour and truthfulness in
word and aot. Children will notice such details iu the conduct of u
teaoher as punctuality, order, neatness, and gentleness, and they will
imitate what thoy see aud hear. They an1 quick to observe; and if the
teaoher's conduct is iu these respects defective; his example must almost
certainly have a disastrous eifool; on tho habits of the pupils. Thus the
punctual and molhodicul performance of duties, even iu matters of
trivial routino, will impress upou tho ohildron hotter than any lesion,'
the importance of orderliness, and the good habits of the toucher will
be even moro powerful than his express requirements in shaping hU
pupila for the proper oonduot of life.

(a) Colour.—Children should IJO initiated into the appreciation of
colour by being givon objeots, pieces of wool, flowers, coloured slips of
wood or paper which represent the oolours red, yellow, green and blue.
Tho ohildreu should b.o made to gi'oup these objeota uudor the various
colours.
\b) Form.—The ohildren should be taught to draw on a lnrgo 6oale
suoh natural objects as aro simple in shape. This work should bo done
with chalk on blackboards.
(c) Number.—Children should bo initiated into the idea of number
by means of objects; whioh mu3t be »ivcn to (he children for them to
handle. What (ho objects nro is immaterial, eo long as they lire small
and 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 should
first, of all bo given a small number of objootfl, not more than 20, niid
having learnt numeration so for, they should bo marlo to understand the
numbers 1—10, by making sets of each, diridiug them into their com-
ponent parts, otc. Thorough familiarity with th^so numbers should be
aimed at, rather than rapidity of progress. When these numbers havo
beon graspod, tho number of cbjouts giron to the children may be
increased, and the process of grouping and analysis continued. In this
way the principles underlying the four simple rules of nrithmetio should
gradually bo elucidated. Tho iufants of tho first-year class should bo
taught the principle of addition by being made to put together sets or
groups of numbers wbioh they have made. Thus, from the first,
children can bo taught to add rather than to count by units. Tho
infants of this class should also be taught to construct multiplication
tables 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 50
in figures.
Heading and hand-writing.—The children in this class should be
taught to recognize tho simplest sounds of their veinaoular language.
This should bo done by putting bnforo them, not isolated loiters, but
lot tors combined into short words. Words of two consonants should
tlrat, of all be iiRi.'d. The ordor iu whioh theso sou.ud.-i aro taken is
important, and oxpwionca bus phown that it is best to hegiu by oal'injj

Observation and expression.—The logons designed to dovelop the
power of oxproimiou nhould now aim definitely at training tho children
to reproduce their thoughts in lngienl eequenoe. The topics of the
loflnont! may theroforo bo giaduiilly oxpnnded into greater detail, and
tho (.'onveifnlioual form of (ho lesi-on gradually givo way to a system of
more lontinuouu narration, on Ilic part of tho teacher. Thus towards
the middle of tho year tho elms should be ablo to follow a simple
story ay it k narrated to thonr by the tcaohor. After tho story has
hi'iui t'ld, individual children should bo usked to reproduoe tho gist of
it in their own words. In (ho fransitiou from conversation to continu-
ous li'i.'-'.'ti'i"!!, '.";i"at care should Im tjiki 11 to ensure (lint Ho tthildn.-u

ft, ho may auaume that they have not been actively following him
and havo reonmso ngiiia to tho more conversational method. Similarly
tho ecopo of tho leBsons designed to devolop tho power of nrouroto
observation mny bo extonded, and should aim at giving the children
delinito information about fiomo of tho most familar natural objects
v.-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, one
lesson loading up to tho next, and tho later lossons constantly requiring
Bnmo of the earlier lessons for thoir explanation. Tho object of oaoh
les>mj "hould bo tho discovery of some now fnct, but it is quite useless to
giveohiklron.various items of information about a number of diaconneot-
e(l natural objects. Tho study of plant-lifo is recommended 88 capable
of boin<r systematically handlod easily and economically, and as it i* .
. especially adapted to rural achoolB, it muet on no account be negleoted
in them. • Tho teaoh.br should make an ospeoial study of at least one
brunoh of nature study. Technical terms shnll be, as far as possible,
avoidod. Theso lessons should not always be given in the school
building. The children should be taken out by the teaoher and
encouraged to colleot speoirnens, oto.
Second yflar.—In the second year of the Infant CIRSS the lessons on natural
objocts should be continued, but sonic very elementary lessons on the most pro-
minent natural pheiiomona should bo included. The children sliou.d, for
esample, he made to observe tho varying position of the. sun at the various
seasons oE tlio year, and lioiv tlioso different positions are accompanied by
varying temperaturei. It will not bo possible in this class (o explain raRny of
the 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 the
monsoon, thsj' will in this way acquire material from which observation* leading
to n proper undei standing of the monsoon mil start- These lessons should
ocntro rou:id the nensons of the y » r , hud should be, BS fir as possible, brought
into lino with the lessons on plant-lifo. Thus a simple lesson on the rains might
well lead to a lussun on the crops nhich ripen at that season, such as early rica
or jate.
Ohject-lesson8 on romrnan domestio objects may also be given bolh to ths
first and to tho second-year infant classes.
(a) Colour.—Tho children should be taught by the method indicated
for 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 should
be continued. The children should also be taught to model in clay the
natural objects put bofore them for the observation lessons.
(<j) Number.—The ohildren should bo taught by moans of concrete
objects the prinoiplos underlying subtrnofion and division ; they should
also be made to construct the multiplication tables up to 10 x 10. They
should then bo made f.o work out by moans of tho objects given to
them irmple calculations nud problems, involving the application of
tho four simple, rules. Whsu the oliildrau have learnt to writo ligures,

micros!.. As regards roading aloud, clearness of utterance and flnonoy
Hliould alwnyrt ho l<opt in view, but it is also essential that the children
nhnuld bo <aught to road intolligeutly. The teacher should make tho
<J[HI of tho pii.Mji> cloar bcsfoi'o it is read, so that the general meaning
nmy bo iiinstori'-d boforo it is rend out in class. Without this the read-
ing must bo miiclmuical, because it is unintelligent. I t is advisable that
tho teachor flliould oociiHiotially roud out a passage to tho claBs by way
of illustration; hut in thin cns;o also tho class should go through the
pioco bofoiehnnd. The reading material put into the hands of the
ohildron IR of the groatost importance. The Primer should contain
nothing whinh in iiot written in good language, and in words wliioh

ftitbin tho range of ibo ohildren's comprehension nnd interest ; des-

cription!* of the various scenes and episodes of rural life should also
be included. Provision should also boiuado in the Primer for acquaint*
ing tho children with Homo of the rooro impressive stories of English
and Indian History. The whole should bo written in an easy niirnitive
Etyle. A passages having been prepared beforehand and tho dillioultiea '
elucidated, tho actual reading lesson should be as little as possible
interrupted by the tenohor, nnd all long disquisitions on points
BUgyohtfid by tho fiubjoot-niattor should bo avoided. At tho end of
tnoiy reading lnsgon tho ohildreu should bo questioned on tho subject-
matter individually, aud should bo trained to givo individually and in
their own words an account of what has boon read.
i-rn7/<;n<rti<\—Notation up to 1,000. Tables up to 12 X 12 and the
10 times tables to bo constructed, andlenrnt. Calculations and problems
ijjvi'Iwiifr tho npplioation of tho four feimple rules, tho principles of
which v/iU have been learnt in the infant classes. These calculations
and probloms should bo worked both mentally and with the aid of
ooncrcto objects. In the hitter part of the year work should be doue
rcgulaily on paper, but the problems and calculations set should not
take 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 have
recently seen at their reading lessons. Spelling being almost entirely
a matter of the oye, tho childron should never bo made to Jearn by rotu
long columns of words, and no spoiling1 should be taught opart from the
words contained in the writing and reading lessons. When the first
difficulties of hand-writing have beon mastered, ohildren should bo
mado to transcribe sentences from passages in the Primer whioh they
havo reoontly gone through in class.
Droning and modelling.—The drawing of natural objocts with chalk
on blackboards should be continued, aa »1KO the clay modelling. This
work should be kept in closo.connection with tho nature observation
work, tbo objects selected for drawing or modelling being invaraibly
those with whioh tho ohildren aro doaling in their observation lessons.
Habits of observation are bettor cultivated by the thorough osaminafion
of a few objects than by a less careful examination of mnnj' ; therefore
it is desirable that the children flhould be made to model tho objects
which 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 readiug
lessons. Another method which may with advantage be employed is
to 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 what
has been read. It should bo remembered, however, that the teaching
of composition does not mean more than the training of children to
exproPM wh»t is in thoir minds. "What is taught is not really assimila-
ted, urfil it can bo reproduced. Thereforo the teach ing of composition
should form a part of oyory lessou given in lhe.6cb.ool. It is advisable

Ago about 9 ycara.

Heading.—The reading lessons should be conlinnod on the lines laid
down for Standard 1. The stories containod in- the Primer for this
class 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 should
the language used be such as is generally intelligible to all. The stories
should he slightly more detailed and complex than those 'written for
Standard I. In the case of rural schools the Primer should also contain
short and simple dbsoript:ons of the ehiof _ crops, fruit*, oin.. of the
district, the conditions .under which they thrive, their value, use, etc.
These lesbons should bo olosely connected with the nature observation
losBons, the observation lesson on a nvmgo, for oxaiuplo, being folljwed
by a rending lossbn on the same subject. S'ories of tho more importtinfc
events of Indian and English history s'-ould be included in the I'liiuor.
Arithmetic.—Notation abovo 1,000. The children should continue
to work, mrmtally, with tho aid of oonorote objects, and on piipor
problems and calculations involving the applioation of tho .four simple
rules. They should alao 1)0 taught tho valuo of tho various coins of
the ourrenoy, and the weights and measures which are in u e in villages.
Tho&o"should not bo taiight mir-ely by roto. The children should he
supplied with token coins, and they should be taught to work out
reductions', oto., with thiso coins, before abstract reductions are
attempted. When the childron are able to rnoko reductions in the
conoreto, sums which they have worked in this way ma}' bo expressed
on tho blackboard or on paper, and an easy transition thus m(ida
to abstract work. Similarly, with weights, an ordinary pair of scales
(toldari) should, where possible, be provided, and the children, not
only shown their use, but mado to work out for themsolves at the scales
rcduotions from seers to chitakSj etc Similarly, with land mea?ure-
monts, the children should be taken out of tue school building and
nvule 1-0 nietwuro out for thcrasolvos bighas, cottahs and chit'ik*.

tho lonelier, this exorcise being varied by (ho occasional repetition to the
children or th'.i reproduction iu tlio teacher's words of a story oithor told

tho children Inivo acquired fomo facility iu writing.'tbo teaobor should
f-how to tli'i eliiît various specimens of hand-writing, aud draw their
attention 1o their pimulnrifies. If tho teacher can in this way get the
children over the initial diflionlty of reading hand-writing, he should
ociMiff ion ally <rivo them letters, and in tho case of rural primary schools
easy t-peciinenH of knbuh'i/a/s, jainnl'ivulis, khasaras, pittas, rent receipts,
etc.. to puzxlo out in class and then read out individually. The
difficulty involved iu reading those1 docuinonts can only be surmounted
by pniotif'o and individual etfoil. A number of different manuscripts
should therefore bo, distributed among the class, each child being given
a difl'ernnf. ono. In connection with tlio hand-writing work, the
rudiments of posthl information should be imparted (ride Circular
No. 8o of tbo Director of i'ublio Instruction, Bongal, dated the 16th
Juno JSlOo). •

Com'position.—Tho teaching of composition should be continued on

thn panio lines and principles as are laid down for Standard 1..
The children should also occasionally bo made to reproduce in writing
what thoy have road or heard. As regards this, however, it must be
remembered that tho difficulties inseparable from writing hamper a
child's freedom of expression, and that, while- it is important that
those difficulties should be removod, it is ossontial that they should uot
bo allowed to obeok a child's natural oxpansiveness which should by
this time have been developed into a certain power of expression. The
easiest mot hod of transition from oral to written composition is for
the tcaohcr to write on tho blackboard at the children's diotntion. This
will enable him to explain the division of a passage into sentences.
When the passago is written on tho blackboard, tho children should
be made to transcribe it. Written-composition however should be
only an occasional exercise; oral composition must never be discon-
tinued. Again, whilo noatness should bo insisted on, children should
not bo allowed to stop and rule lines, eto. Such practices are, not
only a waste of timo, but they divort a child's attention and so hamper
bis power of expression. At those lrssons excessive attention should
not bo pnid to tho formation of letters, etc, for -this also tends to
diversion. The main object of the lessons is, not the formation of
hand-writing, but the doYelopmont of the power of expression.
I'oelry.—Tho Primer should oortain pieces of simple but good
poetry, and theso should bo lonrnt by heart by the children. Extreme
care 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?eu
said " that learning by heart is valueless, unless in the procoss the
memory is enriched with a store of beautiful thoughts, expressed in
beautiful language, whioh will serve as a. touchstone to the scholar's
own method of expression and be a constant source of pleasure to
him." When a pioce of poetry has been seleoted for the class to learn
by heart, it should always first of nil be read aloud by tho children
individually. It should moreover always be learnt individually, ar.d
never 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 may
httvo. It is not in tho least necessary that all tho children in fJie
class should learn the same pnnsigos or the same amount of poetry.

(3) The education of thoso who will dovoto themsolves to
commerce as distinguished from tliosa who will apply
themselves to manufacturing industries.
3. What appears to bo tho fnost desirable aim is that a common

course should bo dovised for the modern sections of tho first and second
classes of zilla sohools whioh all students would join who intend to
follow (he prootical pursuits indicated above, and that at the end of
this oourse they should be allowed to specialise, acoording as their
choice may docide, whether it bo for an engineering or for a comnlor-
oial-lifo. The following statement shows (A) the general subjects at
presenttaught in the first and second olasses of zilla sohools; (B) the
subjects which Mr. Slater wishes to toaoh in the proposed first and
seoond ola6ses leading up to Sibptir, and (C) the subjects which it
would be ensy to teaoh as a preparation for practically all the
kinds of ieohflical education referred to in (2) and (3) in paragraph 8

l.t is the express dcsiro of tho Chamber of Commerce that, special
pains should be taktn to iuculeato in tho students lionpsty, honour, and
truth fulness.
Tho oourso would last two years, and tho examination at tho end
would be the equivalent of the F.A. in tho literary oounio.
'J. The Linutenant-Govomor is most; anxious that tho examination
for both standards should b(; conducted by Um University, and ho trusts
this 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 or
Leaving examination, to be held at the end of the two
years' course on the modern side in Entrance schools wjiich
introduce the conmieraal course ; and a second or a Final
examination lor the commercial courso only at the end of
the two years' courso in tho speoial classes which it is
proposed to open ;
(2) to accept the First or Leaving Certificate as equivalent to an
Entrance Pass certificate for obtaining Government employ-
ment and for all public examinations (excluding the Univer-
sity oxnraiudtions); and tho Hnal Certificate as equivalent.to
the .F.A. Pass certificate, ae, for instance, in the Muktearship
oxaruination or other examinations of a similar nature and
for obtaining Government employment.

7.-TEACHING.
(a) CULTIVATION OP ACCURACY AND THOROUGHNESS IN INDIAN
STUDENTS.
A MOST serious and far too common defect among Indian students n.
in present times is want of accuracy and thoroughness in (heir work. (11Sepr 'i>-No
There is a carek-ss, slip-shod, unlidy air in all they do and in ull thoy '
say, and, as hardly any stops aro lakon to root out the habit at school
and tit homo, it clings to thorn throughout, telling eventually on their
future eilioiency as members of tho various professions. That the lest
of public examinations which they pass, does not provide adequate
safeguard against it, is a fact generally admitted. Taking the 1'Jntniunu
Examination, for example, the present system of valuing answer-papers
tends rather to encourage carelessness and inaccuracy. Murks nro
subdivided into small fractious among tho various points which tiro
likely to make up the complete answer to a question ; and even the
most ill-prepared lad, with no clear notion of what ho is about, is suro
to win tho pass-marks if only ho accidentally hits upon somo of these
points, no matter how ridiculous his ignonuieo of the other points may
lie. '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 Examiner
oxpeots eight cities to be named, ho would award hall' a mark to ouch
name; 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 the
o-xieij! of one mark which is. jiml what lin requires to onab|o hi,,-. (., j, ;li ,j

uniiiuili.lruetiires.
5-. J'j(jimJl)' important with manual work is drawing, tlie practice
of 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, up
to tin; Kiifranee fctago, no detailed comments seem to be needed on its
toaohiiif;, cxoo.pt that, it will perhaps take some years yet to get tho
roipiml" number o.t teachers qualified to loach it in all classes of schools
ami equip thorn with the uoeossary models and patterns—onds whioh
the Department has boon strenuously trying to accomplish ns quickly
as possiblo by opening guru-training schools, including drawing in
tho curriculum for vernacular training schools, taking proficiency in
drawing into account in tho award of junior scholarships, and devoting
largo sums to tho purchase of apparatus, year after year.
v. Allied to drawing are calligraphy and map-drawing. That
many boys write an abominably bad hand, and that hardly any cure
is taken to improve it, are facts too well known. As a rule, no teacher
should 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 hardship
to. tho boys. The use of ruled paper, indispensable at the outset, should
be discontinued as soon as the child is expected to be able to write in
straight lines under tho guidance of his eyes alone. In handwriting,
instead of tho pupils writing out a, now piece daily, they should be
direoted 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 expected
to attempt too largo a size of letters.
7. Map-drawing is a very important school occupation. The boys
should start with making plans of schoolrooms and other familiar
placos by actual measurement, and proceed thoneo, step by step, to maps
of villages, districts and other larger geographical units, inserting lints
of latitudo and longitude where necessary. Detailed hints will be
found in any good book on the art of teaching. The matter is referred to
hero simply because it materially helps in securing accuracy and nentness.
8. Tho use -of slates, though recommended on the ground of
economy, ong].it to be judiciously restricted, if not dispensed with
altogether, as likely to encourage an untidy and inaccurate habit, it
being 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 writing
materials that can be used from the lowest stage. When slates are
used, tho teacher should see that they are kept clean, and that the boys
never acquire the dirty habit of spitting on them to. rub out work.
9. Tho very demoralising influence, of printed keys, guides, abstracts
and other similar literature must have been felt by many; l.nrt it
is much to bo regretted that they are coming even into greater use
than before. By keys are meant not tho commentaries on clnssical
•works which are suggestive and critical, but those wivtehcd prints which
encourage tho habit of cramming, which, by dispomiug with the
neee.'miy for oonhnlting dietioniirios, xiriko at the root, <if self-help, ;iud

TIM; ihitisU Medical Congress, at thoir general meeting held in
July 1001, .suggested- the adoption of rnoasures for tho piovontiou of
the 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. This WHS translated into tho vernaoulnra
.and distributed to nil Medical Ollicers in Bougal, wilb tho request thnt
attempt should be-confined for the present to tho onsa of patients at
Municipal or Head-quarters' Dispensaries, and thnt evciy suitable
opportunity should bo takon to impress on thorn tho fact thnt tho disease
ia convoyed by expectoration, and thnt they should, therefore, bo careful
not to spit on the floors of houses or vehicles, and should, if possible,
destroy tho sputa. I have tho honour now, at tho inslanco of (rovern-
mont, to request tho favour of your issuing ft Circular to tho Principals
of Collegia and Schools, where lectures are delivered on Sanitary
Soionce, asking them to arrange for the delivery of one or two lectures
on .Tuberculosis (consumption), setting very clearly before tho.studonts
tho fact that the disease is contagious, and i3 often communicated by
the habit of spitting indiscriminately. It is (ho desire of Government
that the people should be educatod, as much as possible, in this subject,
and I'think this cannot bo butter accomplished than by imparting know-
ledge on the subject to tile, students who are the riaug generation of
tho people.

.I'riuripal ami Professors of tho Prcpidency College did not consider
it either'leMrnlilc or practicable to throw opon the proposed common'

rc-porl'ed lh;it thero was no room in tho Presidency College buildings
which nould I'" utilised for tho common room, and suggosted that
adininistriitivn sanction should bo given to Iho construotion of a room,

recommend that nil. initial grant of Us. 2,186 for furniture, aud u
recurring graul, ol Hs. 2-50 per annum, is required for tho common rconi
of that college. Tho total coat, therefore, of tho soheme, which you
roronimeiid should bo mot by Government amounts to Its. 29,344 for
inilial uxpoiif-'oa and Hs. 3,600 per annum for recurring charges.
3. It appears from paragraph 11 of your letter No. 13950, dated ihe
24th December 1903,. that it is iutcndod that part of (ho reeuiring
grant of lie. 1,000, which is asked for on account, of tho common room
of tho Presidency College, should be utilised in defraying tho expenses
of tho Athletic Club. As, however, tho scliomo contemplated is not
coneornod with out-of-door amusements, tho grunt asked for the Presi-
dency Collogo should be reduced to Rs. 500 per annum. For similar
reasons, tho grant of Us. GOO rcoom in ended for tho Calcutta Madrasah
should bo reduced to Us. 300. «It is understood that you have no
objection to these reductions being mado. The total reourring grant
which would bo required is, therefore, lis. 2,800 per annum.
4. I am now to convey sanction to the establishment of common
rooms in conneotioh with the twelve Government eollegcfi named in tho
mnrgin of paragraph 3 at an initinl cost of JJfl. 29,33-X aud a recurring
cost of Us. 2,800. I am to roquest that 3'ou will bo so good ns to
suggest ro-appropriation for meotiug the charges for 1904-1905 wlien
the budget allotments for that year are published. A further commu-
nication will bo made later regarding 3'our application, already referred
to in paragraph 2, for administrative sanction to the construction of u
common room for tho Presidency College.
f>. • In conclusion, 1 am to state I hat Government agrees with tho view
takon by 37ou in 3'our letter No. (5301, datod tho 11th June J.!)03, (hat
tho romrnon room which it is propofed to establish in tho Presidency
Collogo should bo for tho fludouts of I hat oollogo only, and that if a
general Under—Graduates' Club is to bo established in Calcutta, it would
bo 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 this
subject which you may wish to bring forward.

Unit certificates at tho different Etages of vernauular education are

that the Gommittoo on Rural Primary schools, in thoir report dated

those o£ tho former Lower and Upper Primary tests, tho certificates

Jfree Studentships,
and misinterpreted. Tlio rule as to 8 por oent. was originally intended

to bo calculated not on tlio total number of pujnls in a school, but only
on the total number of Muhammndau pupils in a school. This order
was modified by this office circular No. 78 of 1897 which changed the
8 per cont. from boing applied to iruliammadan boys only to its being
applicable to the total strength of tbo school with the proviso (hat not
more than .12 such Muhammadan freeships should bo given. This
rulo in practice gives rise to great inequalities. Thus in a school of
150 boys with 138 Hindus and 12 Muhiiminadans in it, all tlio Afuhani-
lrmdnns or JuO per cunt, might bo adnjittod iron, while in another
school ol 150 boys with 75 Hindus and 75 Muhummndiins only 12
Muhainiu»diui3 or 1G per cent, can ho admitted freo. I t is not at
present proposed to oaucel circular No. 78 oi: 1897, but head-musters
should bo onroful not to abuse the rulo aud to limit such freeships as
far 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 granting
of freo Kt.ude.nlships to timo expired scholars and of extension of freo
studentships to time-expired free students under tho "two-scholarship
r u l e " by Inspectors of Schools, in the case, of collegiate sobools whioh
are directly under Hie control of Principals of collogos, is open to
objection. • ._ •
7. As (ho objection raised seems to bo reasonable, this office
OircuJnrs NOR. 122 aud 164, dated tlio 2nd September 1S!1-J, mid Otli
December l8:)-!3, icspeotivcly, aro niodiflod so far ns to allow of tho
freo studoutRhips and the extension of fnio studonlsliips mentioned in
paragraph G nbovo being granted by J'rinoipnls of collogos in the
collegiate schools under them.
8. A£;iringers of aided schools or of aided colleges may, if thoy
like, allow, with tho sanction of the -Inspectors ot schools, in their
Schools or col login to schools, as the ense nuiy bo, tlio freo etudonUhipa
provided in panigrnphs 4, 5 and G for Government behoof, mid Govern-
moirt ocllcgiate schools, but in no case should tup maximum, fixed in
those pjirngrti-phs bo OT""<fded.
(b) IN COLLEGES.
.As a rule, free sindontphips in Colleges are not. granted. This
is in nccordanco with tho recommendations of tho Universities'

recommendations related both to school*) and oollegos. For tbo former
it was suggeateil—
(J) that, gymnastics aud fiold-exeroiscs should bo recognized as

system of mnrks and prizo3 for efficiency in gyniuaetiea
should be introduced;
('2) (hat punishments for breaohes of discipline should ho arranged
so as to fall on the otl'endev, and that with this aim tho
imposition of tasks, deprivation of privileges, a judicious
use of the rod in tho enso cf young pupils nnd finally
oxpulsion in cases of nggrnv.ntod and jicraiitint misconduct
are more suitably forms of punishment than fines;
(o) that good-ennduct registers should be proscribed, extracts from
which should bo sent to ilm parents and guardians of the
boy at stated inlervals with tho dofinilo opinion of the .
. }iend-mastor on his cluirnotof nnd boln\yiour, and t h a t '
prizos, for good conduct pli.uuld be awarded at the end of

(•I) (hat hostels and boarding-houses should l>o established at tho
larger echools aud colleges in lurgo towns and cities for the
accommodation ol: studouts whoso inrailies aro aot resident
in the place whero they are being educated;
(6) that selected hoys from tho higher olosses of schools should be
appointed monitors for the purpose of maintaining discip-
line during, aud, us far as possible*, out ol school-hours;
(<">) that any boy who, thiough want of diligenco iiud attention
to study, fails to rise to a cortain class by tho time ho has
reached a cortain ngo should bo rcrjuirecl to loavo tho school;
(7) that inter-school rules, defining the comlifions under whioli

Uiiukd that no profit will result from auy further discussion as to
how Inr flio preBont state of things is due to defects in the system
of education tind how far to forces eithor independent of, or
antagonistic to, that system. Tho evil is admitted on nil hands,
and tho problem! is to find means by which the method of
publio insUuof.iou may be strengthened and improved so ns to combat
and overooi.no it. Holding these VI'OWH, tho Governor-General in
Council considers it rnattor J'or congratulation that Local Governments
nnd Administrations and tho ro|>r< sontativea of tho different native
communities in India have generally aocopied his suggestions with

G v f schools, that teachers of athletic sports should bo appointed,
and (hnl a (THIKTUI competition in athletic sports should bo arranged
o\-<»rv vcar in'litilrict-hnid-quartora, tiro reviving consideration at the
bunds of Iho ciliiiiuliiuial authorities. Iu the North-Western Provinces
nn<l Oiul.li 1.110 (|iirat,ion of physical education has lately been considered
by a CW fen-woof Wdnoational Olliccra, and His Honour the Lioutenant-
Governor uml Chief Commissioner engages to consider with favour
any practical allocations that may bo made. In the Punjab, it is
inU-ndocl to prescribe) gymnastic couraes for Primary, Middle, and High
school?, mid to permit boys to present themselves annually for examina-
tion in pyniii!i:.tu;s, and to receive certificates if successful. Cricket
niul athletic hiurnruiieiits, open to Government and Aided schools and
Unaided school;' suliject to Government inspection, are to be, promoted.

HieHisrli i5i:lu>i-'lti in rotation and to give a capitation allowance for

teachers of gymnustics have been provided in many schools. The

UovernnuinN-and AfJminiRtnilianK approeiato tlio valuo of physical
fxm-ciî.'S, iind aro toady and willing to enciurago them; and it is
believed ' tluit much CRII be doni in (his direction \fithoulincurring any

or "about to be. undcrtakou to promote physical oducation, a system of
marks tind pri/x-;, which no doubt will bo largely supplied by private
liberality lor pro.licioncy in gymnastics and athletic sports, should be
everywhere introduced'.where gymnasia and play-grounds have been

Local Cinvommrulr, aud,Administrations will, on suitalitoopportunities,
entbavour to mnko ivrrangoinents to carry this suggestion into effect.
5. I n indioitin;', its view on tho punishment of breeches of school
discipline in pnragraph i t ol: tho letter of Hist Dooombor .1887, the
Governor-Gcnornl in Council left this quostiou to the judgment and
discretion of Iio«al Governments and Administrations. At tho same

L e l i u l towards securing punctual attendance. Tlis Exoollcnoy in

Council accepts tho general opinion on both points, and desires that
effect should bo givon to it. Without desiring that a oode of offences
and punishments should be drawn up, to winch evory breath oE
discipline should bo directly reducible, Mis Excellouoy in Council
considers tbat punishments in schools and colleges should take such forms
ns loss of position in tho class, impositions, exclusion from lessons, sus-
pension, from attendance, monoy linos, corporal punishment, and, as a
final resource, expulsion. ,. It will be lor (.ho various Local Governments
and Administrations acting through their Educational Departments
to lay down for the guidance of masters such rules as may bo consider-
ed desirable to enforce a disreet use of tho different forms of
puuiebment.
6. The suggestion for tho maintenance of good-conduct registers
has been generally well received. The Bengal, North-AVestern
Provinces and Oudh and Central Provinces Governments agree to the
introduction of such registers iu the manner proposed in the Homo
Department circular letter. In- Bombay th&experirneut is to be tried
under .selected head-masters. • In Uurma, registers are to be opened
in all Government schools ; in time they may bo prescribed in aided
schools; but in this Province it seems premature to insist on tbis at
present. I n Assam a start has already been made iu keeping pood-
conduct registers, in giving prizes for good conduct and in making
every boy appear periodically before (ho head-master ; and tho system
ia to be further extended. In the Punjab the authorities are opposed
to opening good-oonduct registers and to giving prizes for good
• conduot; but they propose to nitaiu the objects iu view by directing
that certificates are to be given for good conduct, and that serious
cases of bad conduct aro to bo ruportod to tho pa rout or guardian of tho
offender. The Government (if Ma-drna is advorso to llu> sjstem, on
the ground tbat the moral defects of students and of sdiool-boys are
not such as can be marked by register.'-, of conduot, and doprecatos tho
suggestion that attention should bo givon to good-conduct rogisteis
in selecting candidates for the public service on tho ground that it
would bo cruel and unjust to place on • pormanent record the faults
committed in early youth, While admitting that fliero is force in the
last objection, the Governor-General in Council considers that it may
bo met by head-masters refusing extracts of the cailior entries in the
registers which would produce nn uufair imprcssiou of the pupil's real
charaoter, or adding such romarks as would prevent their having tbis
effect. 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 'to
whom ho offers his services .than tho rorlifieiili-s of character now
generally {iiven, and from this point of view thc-y will probably not be
without their UL-O to Government oflicir? in neli-rUng (i.'ni.lid.'iks for tin-

on it of public-fmnip. In Bombay, provision will bo rondo at the fow
.Government eollegoa (hat exist, for tho enforcement of stricter discipline
and for the re:,i<li>niji> n( or near tho collego of tho Prinoipal or a
Professor. The further ex tension of the residential sj'stora will be left
to private lihorulily. Tho OR!abli.'-binont of hostels is an essential part
of the educaliiMial policy of tlio Governments of Bengal and Assam
where funds me available; and I ho publics has occasionally contributed
toward* such fniindnlionp. In tho North-Western Provinces and Oudh
every district s'.haol and college Ims a boarding-house attached to it,
cud they nro all full. Sir Auckland Oolviu is not in favour of the
extension ol tlio nyshsiu to seliools at tho. head-quarters of tahails,
he.ea.uso ho is not. i;iitiatiod that they would be property supervised. I n
the Punjab (ho boarding houso system is VQTy widely eslondod1; and the
Lieutenant-Governor contemplates authorizing local bodies to requite
that out-i'ludenls attending a school to which a boarding-houso is
n!Inched should livo in if;, provided (hero is-accommodation, unless
they nro living w! Mi relatives or friends of I heir parents or guardians

In the Central Provinces, local bodies will bo requested to improve or
enlargo existing hoarding-houses whom iho accommodation is bad or
iiis-.ulliciont. I u Perur, several boarding-houses .with accommodation
lor resident innslers huvo been established, and it is proposed to increase
their number. Tho Govcrnor-Gcucral in Council rocognizes the wil-
lin.'.rniii?-"". of JiOeai Governments nnd Administrations to do what is
r'nniifil in thp provision of boarding-houses. Tho State* already bears
a disprop'irlioiialo share of tho expenditure on high education, and the
obligation, of providing boardijig-honses whore they do noi, exist is
cue which .IJOCILI iroveruincu's and Administrations arc naturally loath

system is well suited to Indian ho3-s, and with the improvement of tho
quality of teuohors, it will bo possible to extend it generally if it is
found to succeed iu the better schools.
9. On tho proposal to enforce tho exclusion from school of boys
who do not reaoh a certain class by a certain ago, tho general opiuion
is that a rigid application of a rule of this uaturo would involve tho
risk of iujury to classes of society whose backwardness requires encour-
agement. Tho Governor-General in Council recognizes the forcn of
this argument; and, as he thinks that there is not the same objection
to big and small hoys being associated together nt day-schools as there
is at boarding-schools, Bis Excellency in Council is content to leave
the matter to Local Governments and Administrations, on the under-
standing that the recommendation in paragraph 18 of the letter of
31st December 18S7 will not bo lost tight of.
10. Tho question of infer -school rules ia 0U9 oE groat importance
in tho interests of discipline, and rules on tho subject aro already iu
force in noaily every Province. Tho points which it is essential to
secure- are that, without the consent of tho Educational authorities, a
boy shall not bo token into a school who has been dismissed from
another school for misconduct; that failure to pay his school-fees in his
former school shall debar a boy from admission to another school, except
uiidor similar coneent of tho Educational authorities ; and that, if
received into another school, a boy shail not bo placed in a higher
class than the class ho was iu bofoio leaving the other school, except at
tlio beginning of a new term. Tho rules on tho last point should only
be applicable to schools of the same grade; those on tho first and
second 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 Bengal
and the North-Western Provincos and Oudh seem to îve more or loss
effect to the tbieo essentials; hut tho point of dismissal for lniseonduot
might be brought into grouter prominence oven in thc?e Provinces. In
1ho Punjab, rules have boon t.rfpuad which apply to all Government
and aided schools, but it is not proposed to ns-k tho I'Jnivejsify to co-

•Government or Aided. Sir Stcuart Bayloy also expresses himself in
favour of a system of granting certificates xu tho art of tencliing in
proforenoo to an extension of Nonnnl schools; tho possession of such
eoitificateK to bo marlo a condition of employment in Government
and Aided schools. In tho North-Western Provinces and Oudh con-
siderable attention has been devoted to the training of masters, and
a Normal school for teachers in Primary nnd Middlo institutions is
located at the bead-quarters of each-Division.' It is. found, however,
that present arrangements do not adequately provide for the training
of in.istors.for iho higher class cf schools, nnd it is proposed to establish
a central institution for this purpose, in 'he Punjab, there is a central
Training college at Lahoro for masters in Secondary schools. No one
can be employed in auy Board school, whether Secondary or Primary,
who does not hold a teacher's certificate. Tho amount of grants to Aided
schools is to a certain extont dependent on their having cairlideated
teachers. In tho Central Provinces, sulticienr provision for training
vernacular teachers is said to exist. The Anglo-Ven.aoidar leaohers are
supplied by (ho colleges. Tho Chief Commissioner is # in favour of
establishing normal classes for Anglo-Yernaoular masters, and arranging
for 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 religious
character, adequuto arrangements for twining masters for Primary
schools exist, and the Chief CommWionor is working out a sob em o for
attaching to existing schools departments for the training of middlo
class teachera. The supply of trniued teachers for Secondary schools
in Assam must be procured by indenting on Normal schools in Bengal
when established, or by sending teachers from Assam for training
in those schools. In Bernr, arrangements have been ma'le for training
teaohers for Primary school?, but the Seoondnry schools aro not
numerous enough to justify a special training institution, and mnstors
W theso sohcols aro procured from Bombay colleges and High

attention, Tlie Madras Government thinks that tlio teaching staff

at collogos should bo leavened by a larger proportion of English
teachers who have paid spociol attention to the art of teaching ; and
at its request the Seoretary of State will bo invited in solecting
graduates for educational appointments in India to iusist on their
possessing expevienco in" teaching. In the North-Western Provinces
and Oudk, tho question of employing European musters for a few of
the lending FOIIOOIS for limited periods is, the Government of India ia
ploneed to lonin, under consideration. Tho Governor-General in
Council is convinced of tho valuable stimulus that tho example of
good teachers from England would givo to schools; and ho would be
glad if tho Bombay, Bengal and Punjab Governments oould soo their
way to giving tho proposal their further consideration.
14. Tlmro romaius the question of the extension of a system of
teaching which has a direot bearing upon personal conduct, and whether
an attempt to eltect this extension should be made by prescribing
moral text-books for schools and colleges.
Having given this important question its fullest consideration, the
CJovernment of India is satisfied that the end in view would not be
attained by prescribing for use in colleges and schools a treatise on ethics
or a book of didnctio instruction in, tho rules and principle of conduct.
It believes that the careful selection and (-.raining of teachers provide
the most efi'ootual method of establishing n good moral tone iu a
school; but it also considers that the influence of tho teacher may be
greatly strengthened and the interests of morality promoted by the
use in Bohools of text-books having a direct bearing on conduct
eithor by means of precept, or example.. The Governmuut of India
understands that this viow has commended itself to the Syndicate, of the
Calcutta University, under whose auspices Mr. Tiuvnoy, Principal
of the Preaidoncy College, lias been oug.igcd to prepare a book of
Boloctions for tho uso. of candidates for matriculation. Tho instruc-
tions laid down for Mr. Tawnoy's guidance in preparing this book
nre—first, that at least throe-fourths of thebook fd;all consist of proso
taken from authors of the prosont century ; second, thai at least oiio-hnlf
of the prose portiou shall cousist of e-xtracts having n direct: bearing on
conduct either by way of procept or example ; and, third, that a similar
principle shall bo, as far as possible, kept in view in tho poetical selec-
tions. Thus, the Calcutta University has already (ikon stops to give
effect to what, in tho opinion of the Government of India, is tlio most
practical way of introducing moral'training into tho highest class of
Indian schools, and furnishing teachers with the opporfunil}7 of impart-
ing instruction in morality and in tho principles of natural religion
to their pupils. All that remains now to bo done, in Bengal at all
events, is to supplement this action of the University by providing
for tho lower grades of schools, and for each class in those grades
suitable text-books compiled on similar linns. Similar action in other
Provinces is equally called for; and accordingly the Governor-General
in Council doHir.es that each Licnl Government and Administration
should tako this matter at onco in hand; and eithor by th

'honoety, truth and honour in their schools, nnd Ihat they not ODIJ incnloata
' upon tlieir children the general duty ot consideration and Tespeot for
" others, but also the special duty of obedience to, and reverence [or, their
" parents ;
'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." It is in
this spirit aud with this objoct that tlio Governor-General in Council would havo
toRchen; 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 to
commend the subject to the eurly aud earnest attention of tho Government of
Beugnl.
Tho book of selections reoontly prescribed by the University for the
Entranoo examination of ISO I will afford an earnest and conscientious
tenohor abundant opportunities of impressing* oii Eouior boys the
precepts 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 shall
be maintained in every Bohool, and that extracts from the register shall
be cbmraunioated at stated intervals to tho guardians of pupils, in
aooordanco with the praotice prevailing in schools in England. The
extract (a form of which is appended to this letter) should show the
progress mado in each brauoh of study. Under tho orders of tho
Government of India,—"The entry regarding general conduct should
ba filled in by the Ilead-masler, and should represent his opinion of the
boys' moral character and behaviour, based upon his personal observa-
tion and the reports of his subordinates. At tho year's end prizes
should bo allotted for good conduct, of such value as to mnke them
objeots of eager competition." Attention is also drawn to tho follow-
ing suggestions of tbo Government of India, which havo been accepted
by the Government of Bengal: —
In order to enable tho Jlead-mastnr to keep up his personal knowledge o£ all
boys in tho school, it is worth conside.riiiR.whctlicr a practice, under which eaeh
class appears periodically before the ile:id-niivster should not bo adopted in
schools where it is not already tho practice.
In this connccti'on it••may also be fm'»ue«teil that, measures might ho taken to
provide that, in Glim? up appointments in Government oHic.r.-vs-ocisdrojMrd shall
bo paid to tho entries in !ho conduct, resistor. Ai |jrcs<-iiL npjilirnnls for such
appointments frofjuontly produce cerlifiratus of elunar!IT given with ie.(VreiuN> to
the apiiointments sought. Under the" system now sujjt;csto<l, disorderly conduct
during the closing years of school career would seriously iifl^'ut flic candidate's
prospect of obtaining o/licial crnploymcut aflor ieavin? schoul, and no doubt
private employers would uot bo slow to folloiv the example- sit by Government
in this respect.
I t is suggested that extracts from the registers should bo forwarded to
parents or /juardians twico in tho year, mnicly, ufter tho annual examinations for
promotion, and befovo the Durga J'uja vacation.

caeea of persistent and aggravated misconduct—these eoam to be the obiof

mofchods of puniBhment for breaches of discipline available to Head-
masters." The imposition of finos is also commended as direoting tlie
attention of pnronts and guardians to tho shortcomings of pupils, and
interesting them in the preservation of discipline In a report made
to (fovorurnont in 188-1, I observed thut school .punishments might
roughly bo apportioned as follows: For irregulnr attendance), squalid
dress or other faults for which the parent is partly responsible, a fino
night properly bo imposed; for idleness, inattention and othor techni-
, cul ofTences ugninft aohool discipline, impositions and keeping in would
bo Kuititlilo; for continued disobedience and insubordination, or for
gross iud<sness of behaviour in or out of school, tho cane might bo
employed, and in tho worst ca=oa expulsion; while expulsion should
invariably follow tho proof of moral turpitude. 1 also stated that the
existing order did not forbid the uso of the cane, nud observed that
the matter should be left, as at present, to the discretion of Head-
masters. There were no doubt offences of a~ disgraceful kind for
which the cane was the best punishment; and in othor cases it might
bo inflicted, with tho consent of( the parent or guardian, as an alterna-
tive to expulsion. liut it was to be clearly understood that eauing was
to be an exceptional form of punishment, that it was to be administered
by tho ITead-mastor alone, and that it should bo so administsred as to
infliot pain only without any bodily injury. Any school in which tho
oane was frequently resorted to would be regarded ns inefficiently
conducted. I may add that when it is known that tho oane is a
recognised instrument of discipline, it will not ofton bo necessary to
have recourse to it. Many an ill-oonditionod boy who would laugh nt
a fine, and regard expulsion as a welcome relief from a tedious round
of duty, would probably pauso before the uplifted rod.
Circular No. 47, dated the bth April 1890, by the. Director of
Public Instruction.
In continuation of my Circular No. 45 of yesterday's date, in whioh
various points conneotod with the maintenance of discipline in sohoolg
were ooufliderod, I have the honour to forward, for your information,
the subjoined extract from the 'Resolution of tie Government of India
dated tho 17th August 1889, on tho subject of the provision of trained
and certificated teachers to high schools:—
" Tho Bengal Government, ori tho ground tiint tba education of teachers ia
costly, and that the. educational grant is insufficient to adequately provide for
elementary.and technical education, status that there is no prosont prospect of
funds being available for tho genoral introduction of a eystcm of training teachers
for their profession in spocial institutions. His Honour tbe Lieutenant-Governor
believes that training in the art of teaching should b« givon in addition to, and
not as a substitute for, tho education of tho University ; and urges that there is
no want of masters trained in the usual English method al the University, an<l
that it is on this ground and on t.ho ground of expense undoniniblo to im]>ort
English masters for doGnite periods. His Honour is prepared, Bliould tlio

(b) DISCIPLINE IN COLLEGES.

Circular No. &6, dated the 3rd April 1890 by the Director of
Public Ins!ruction.
In continuation of my Circular No. 45 of this day's dnte, on fin
subject, of ilio maintenance of disciplines iu schools, 1 havo tho honour
to conununioato to you the following further instructions with regard
to oollesyoa.
2. i n considering tho question of t!io maintenance of discipline, in
ooUego;?, whore, from tho nature of tho caso, positivo rules, tho mt>tho.l
appropriate for schools, were comparatively ineffective—tho Govern-
niont of Fndia observod that tho tono of a collegiate body as a whole
could only Le raised by distinct moral teaching, and hy cartful moitil
supervision. Tho question was how euoh supervision could bo nmda
more effective, and how the sentiments and habits of students .might bo
bost inlluuiioed for good. I n this matter far more ,was to b3 expected
from tho oxample and personal qunlitios of tho Principal and l'rofes-
sors than from rules, but rules in support of authority might be
useful, and from that point of viow the followiug regulations might ba
bouelicially ouforoed:—
(a) that woekly meetings should bo held by tho Principal and the
Professors to consider questions of discipline ;
(i) that the Principal should havo tho powor of ordering the
expulsion or rustication of a student, and of fining him for
disorderly conduct; and
(c) that every Professor should havo the power of suspending a
student for a limited period of tinio, and of lining him
without reference to the Principal.
3. After receiving the opinions of Looal Governments on these
suggestions, tho Go vornment of India issued tho following order:—
" The suggestions [onuiiu'riiled above] for the improvement of discipline in
collegos, linvo received favourable eonsidonitioii by Local Governments aud
Adminialrntioiis. In .Bombay nnd tho CVuiral Provinces tlie rulo as to weekly
meotiiig3 of College Councils will bo adopted. In Uengal and tho North-Western
Provinces and Oudh the rulo is considered unnecessary; nnd iu tlie Punjab
fortnightly meetings havo beon proscribed. Tho ru!o (unpoiveriii^ a 1'rincipal
to expel, rusticuto or Cua a scholar is accepted everywhere. The rule K'V'"S
powor to a Professor to suspend a student for a limited (iruc, or to line him
without-referonco to the Principal, is accepted by .Bombay, Beimil a ml the
CVntrnl Provinces. In tho Punjab it is delinitel/ restricted to slii.lunts of tho
Professor'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 nnd
tho Worth-Wcstora Proviucos and Otidh favour tho autocracy of tho Principal in
matters of disciplino. Tho Government of India is content with the nie.-isuro of
aocopt.-ineo which its suggestions as to colleges have mot, and dous not wish to
press them furthor on the Governments which have not found thomselvos able to
adopt tlipm."
4. I n directing that these orders should bo issued to all
fcionnl oiii'jors engaged as Professors in Colleges, lhi:
Governor drew attention to tho man3' opportunitii s whioh the stu-ly

nil teachers should constantly bear in mind their duties in this respect.

ami deed. No opportunity should be lost by the teacher in impressing
upon the students the importance of this, and in exposing the ignoble
mid 'contemptible nature of a mind which does not hesitate to resort
to a lie. The teacher should furnish himself with as many tiles and
anecdotes, bearing on this point as possiblo, from auoieut or current
history or from actual every-day life, and use these whenever an
oppoit.i.nity offers itself. Special attention to this matter should bo
paid in tl'o lower forme, as impressions mado in theso earlier stages
ore 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's
may bo induced to aohially put into practice tho virtues tnught, as far
as circumstances will allow. It does not appear necessary to fix a
particular period for "moral teaching," puro and simple, but no
toucher should c&naider his work for tho day dono satisfactorily, unless
ho hud devoted a portion of it to making an attempt to develop the
moral side of tho pupils placed under his iustruoticn.
6. ''Example is, however, hotter than preempt," and a teaoher
who is himself unpunctual, or who is uot highly respected himself for
his chnractor, cannot expect that his teachings about truth or punctual-
it}' will attain much success;' Tho Department has therefore alwnj's
expeotcd, and will in future oxpeot, its teachers to sot the example of a
high character before the eyes of the pupils undor them.
7. I t should bo romembered, howovcr, that moral instruction
must not go boyond its sphoro, and should in. no way alfeot the 6ocial
and religious idoas of the students generally.
8. The conduct of the boys outside school hours should also be
attended to. In the case of students living near the school, (ho bead
muster or some tenohers deputed by him may occasionally see the
guardians and ascertain the conduet of their wards at home, and
improt-3 upon the guardians tho fact that without (heir co-operation
the formation of o'huructor of ihoir ward* would bo imsatisfarslory.
•). In of er ciisos, whenever possible, some ouo or oth>r teacher
ot (ho schools should see as muny guardians aud aa ufton »is possible
about their wards.

Politict.
2. Tho question affeots tho entire Geld of higher' oduculion,

Imt Hi« principles to he applied and tlie procoduro to bo adopted will
cliitdr uncording as school-boys or ocllogo students, 6chool-ma6terB or
Profc-s.sovs ol' colleges havo to be dealt with. The case of tlie pupils
of hii'li schools pivsonfs little difficulty, in tho intorost of the boys
tliQm:ielvoH it is undesirable thnf they fhould ba distracted from
their •wcn.'k by attending political meetings, or engaging in any form
of political agitation. In tho ovent of suoli misoonduct being persisted
in nnd encouraged, or permitted by tlio masters or tho managing
uutboiitief, 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 the
privilege of competing for scholarships and of receiving
Echohirehip-ho'.ders ;
(b) by tho University, which can withdraw recognition from
tho school, the effect of whioh is to prevent it from
sending up pupils as candidates for the Matriculation
examination! -
Action under the Bret head oan bo taken by the Local Government
of its own motion without referenco to the University. Should this
measure prove inadequate, and should it be thought necessary to havo
recourse to the more sevore punishment of withdrawal or rocoguitiou or
tlio threat thereof, the facts of tho ease should be reported to the
University which alone is legally competent to inflict the requisite
penalty. In euoh cases following tho practice of tho Government of
India in conducting their own correspondence with tho University, the
communication may be addressed to the Registrar, through the Hector
of the Calcutta University.
3. Tho ense of students of affiliated colleges Flauds on ft somewhat
different footing. Thoy aro uo lonper schoul-boys but under-*
graduates, atd a certain proportion of thorn are Bachelors of Aria
wbo may reasonably claim aoina wider liberty of action than is
permitted to eohool-boys. In regard to them, therefore, tho Govern-
ment of India aro not prepared to lay down, as a general rulo, that
more attendance at political meetingf, as distinguished froni taking an
active part in their proceedings, would necessarily call for the adoption
of disciplinary ineaisures against the collepe. Although, however, they
admit that tho degree of discipline which is essential for a school-boy
may bo inappropriate and even undosirablu in tho ease of a student,
still they must insist upon tho principle that colleges exist for the
purposo of education, and thoy caunofc rogard with indifference tho
conversion of such, institutions into centres for the dissouiination of
political doctrines of whatevor oharactcr. If tlieroforo certain students
of an atliliated college were to attend political meetings, and there so
conduct themselves us to bring undesirable notoriety upon tlmir college,
or to ••ngugo in political ngilation in such a way as to inlmfpro wi'h
tho corporate lilt) and educational work of tbo pluce, an<l si ill moro

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

EHract from teller No. S6T., dated the lltth May 1906, from the
Director 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 the
report, duted the 3rd August 1905, of tho Commiltpo, which ndviaoil
Govurnmont iu regard to Euralgchools. In parogroph G of that report,
tho Committee expressed their opinion that, while tho course might
very advantageously be extended over n period of two years, it would
be scarcely practicable to insist upon this at first, and (hat on tho
wholo 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 radical
departure from tho terms of their reference Tliis subject ia fully
dealt with in parngraph «$ of inv nnto on £?i<v«-TraiiHii{j schools of tho
11th February 1900, the views oxpres;od in which havo been endorsed
by tho Speoial Conimitteo in tho noto rccorclod by (hem on the sulijcoL
at 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 the
proposals made by tho Speoial Commitleo is that (Jm general rule should
bo that tho training should bo for two yonrs, disrrotion being given to
Iuspeotors to allow exceptional men to outer tho second year class nnd
to pass out after one year's training, nud,' conversely, that tho Insptctor
should be allowod discrotion to permit a man who lias failed (o qualify
aftor two years' training, otherwise tban owing to wilful oogloot, to
contiuuo in tho school for one 3'car more, still holding his afipond. As
Qoverumonfc will gather from my noto referred to, I lay tho greatest
stress on this proposal, believing, as I do, that Government money ia notv
largely being frittered away on the existing G'Knf-Training BOIJOOIH.

impniolicahlo to work tho schools satisfactorily with Iho present Limited

H-lnlf ul two toacbor.s.
10 Tlie views oxpressod in pnrngvaphs 6, 7, 8 nnd 11 of my noto
of the U.th February 100G wore, it will be observed, unanimously
adoplnd by (lie Special Commit!oe. The question really amounts to
this: "Slmll wo continue the preRuuf aystGin, whiok may look very
well on p:iper but \vhiolj in pracfieo is largely a sh;un and n waste of
public money, or t;hall wo proceed on business-lik<> lines? l a tho first
])beo, according to tho present system, n Guru teaching in a eohool is
ullowid to go through the course at a Guru-Training school without
giving ii]) his (school for tho time boing. I t is ncodluss to comment on
this. "What hnppc-ns is this : tho Guru prosents hinisolf merely for an
hour or so at the 6'i/rK-Trainiug school, llo then attempts to do in thnt
6h.ort period what ho should aiteinpt to do in a full day's work. Tho
course at tho Giini-Tmmiug 3chool represents two full years' work.
This the Guru abovo referred to tries to do in about one-sixth of tho
time. Again, tho idea underlying the present system is that the Guru-
Train ing schools must be taken to tho Gums, and not that the Gurus
should go to to tho Guru-Tr&imng sohools. I t has beeu assumed that the
latter plan, whioh is the only business-like one, is not feasible. Ou
tho ether hand, wo have olear evideneo that Gurus are willing to go to
thesis schools, and thoro is every reason to think that they will resort to
t;!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 place
merely moans inefficiency, because it is impraoticablo in thnt case to
construct suitable school-houses or to provide hostels for the students or
quartors 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 3rd
August 19(J5 of tbo Committee which advised Government in regard to
J.lvnal 6ohools). Last but not loast, the public which is interested in this
form of edneution judges us by our works, and cannot beliovo that wo
aro in oarcest as regards these, schools whon thc-y see that so littlo care
and thought is oxpended on them. I cannot too strongly therefore
impress ou Government tho importance of those propoials.
20. I now come to the vory importaut question as regards the
proposal mado in paragraph (> of tho report of tho >'3nl August 1905 of
the Committee, which advisod Government in regard to Rural Primary
schooJii, that a special stipond of We. 2 a month over anJ above his
ordinary emoluments should bo given to ovory Guru wlio qualifies in
a Guru -Training sohool so long as.ho continues to teach satisfactorily in
a school recoguiscd by tho Education Department- Tho Cornuiitteo
based this proposal on a consideration of the fact that tho Euherae of
establishing new (?f/;'«-Training sohoolsmust fail entirely, unless teachers
find that it is to their advantage to pass through tho Training schools.
1 cordially ngreo, and so do tho members of tho Special Committee, who
have further considered !he subject, with this opiuion. I concur how-
ever with the ypDcial Covuiuittoo that tin* paitieular moans proposed to
that end by tho Committee roforred to aro not practicable or thy bost.

(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 nro
beinjr tistuliliiihod, only thqno who tiro (onoliers in Lower Primary schools
ond whohiiVo reached tho Lower Primary standard will for tho present
he admitted, {oitle tho proceedings of tho uovonth mooting of tho Special
Oommitteo, 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 and
luturo years might be utilised. 1 suggested that they might be
utilised—
(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 teaching
staff at these sohools; and
(4) in giving rewards to men who pass-through tbo course of
training 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 in
paragraphs 18 and 21 of this h ftcr, would aiono absorb till available
resources. 1 dipouss this inntfer in iho nextparagraph.
23. Tho addition of a toacher ou Us. 8 referred to in p g p
18, and tho raising of the stipends iu tho mauner proposed in paragraph
21, for the existing ffwrM-Truining schools will involve an additional
annual expenditure of E B . | 3 9 , 5 4 4 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 of
Us. 2.97, 200 providod in the current year's budget for primary educa-
tion nnd new educational schemes. Then, as regards the question of
opening new ffwu-Training sohools on tho improved lines proposed, I
. find that, after making provision for the oponing of the Bhagalpuf
Central Training School and the re-organisation of the Educatioual
Ben-ices out of the lump grant of Us. 2,97,200 abovo referred to, thore
will remain only a sum of about Its. 33,220. Most of this monoy
will be required for tho improvement of wakials, as sanctioned iu
Government letter No. 157T.— G., dated tho 24th April 1905. Tbcro

.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 tho
teachers employed .in schools, it will, hi the future, bo necessary to take
oven possible and legitimate opportunity that may present itself fn
rf>plano incompetent and untraiued teachers, and also those- who may l->o
expoijFiiieed, but .still not successful teacher.*, by trained and ennip'-tent
lii.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 properly
qualiCiedteachers in all classes of sohools should bo maintained- by the
JMmation Department in .Bengal. Each school in a Division should
therefore be required to supply tlio Deyuty I nspector of Schools concerned
with 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 register
in tho preseribod form for his oflice, which will contain the particulars
therein lefcrred to in regard to teachers of oil schools in his district who
receive salaries below Ks. 8 a month or who are only paid out of public
funds by grants paid partly or wholly under the old system of payment by
results, whioh is however about to be done away with. A similar register
will bo kept up in the office of the Divisional Inspector of Schools for
teachers 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 the
Olfico of the Director of Public Instruction, Bengal, a list showing,
6cuool by school, all such .particulars of teachers who nre in receipt of
salaries of Rs. 50 a month and upward?. Those rcL-u-ters should contain
only those who are in the opinion of the inspector properly qualified
f.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 which
schools .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. A t first the admissions to these registers of duly-qualified
teachers will have, possibly, to bo fudged by a rather lenient standard,
and those toncliers who havo given satisfaction as touchers to their
head-masters, or who have become experienced -teachers by long and
successful servico in schools, will have to bo admitted a? qualified; but
after the initial registers, havo been finished, and afterwards dining
their revision, onceiu every throe years, ihn admissions to such registers
should 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.y
diplomu, or a certificate of having passed a practical examination in the
art of teaching in a training cullego or school, or of having satisfied a
competent Inspector or Deputy Inspector of Schools that the applicant
for admission to tho rugis-tor iy p.-operlv qualified rip a. fca-ohnr. .A I 1 ho

7.—TEACHERS UNDER TRAINING.
TKKM.S UNDJvR WHICH NATIVE TKA.OHEUS SHOULD BE ALLOWED

TO ;ATTEND .TRAINING INSTITUTIONS.
No. 79Vr.Cn, dnlwlUw M June 190!;, from the Govt. 0/ Bengal, Ociwral
Dept., to the Govt. of India, Home Dept.
I AM directed, to acknowledge tho receipt of your endorsement
No. 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 upon
which native, teachers should bo allowod to attend training institutions.
'.I. It is observed that tho Government of India have no objection
to thfoo.of tlio proposals made in my letter Mo. (HIT. —G , dated tho
30th May,,19013,.viz : (1) that teanhers,;whilo under training, should
bo allowed .10 receive travelling allowance in.rcspeofc of their journeys
to,and from the training institutions, and (3) that (hey should not be
subject to forfeiture of privilege leave earned before t bo commence-
ment of their deputation. With ril'oreuoe to tho suggestion that the
period spent bj' toacliors undor traijiing should be fiHo\vcjd to count as
service, qualifying for privilege leave nnd iucrenifutB of salary, thu
Government of India are of opinion that the former concession should
not bo allowod, but thero is not tho fame objection to tho grant of the
latter.' .
0. As regards the liftli proposal made iniuy letter above referred
to, that full pay should bo given to a teacher wliilo undergoing training,
tho Governmort of India .points out that, as the arrangemont by which
a 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 allowod
exactly the sarao terms as if ho .were on service. He has lighter work;
bo is relieved of responsibility ; and, wbilo under training, ho is adding
to tho pptential .value of..his attainments. To grant full pay in such
.casc-8.would.be equivalent to tho creation in perpetuity o£ a number
of special appointments tonablo in tr(iining . schools; .while it would be
open 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 these
reasons, tho Government of India are reluctant to sanction, generally,
proposals which would have (ho effect of giving teachers under training
tho full pay of their . appointments. They, nro disposed to prefer nn
arrangement by which, a teacher would IJO given a fixed, b i t

1.—ZANANA EDUCATION.
tiesotulion No. 72'2T1—G., dazed the l^lh June 1903, by the Goi>t.
of Bengal, General Depl.
IN paragraph 5 of the Resolution of this Government, No. 387o,
dated the 17th December, 1902, it was remarked that, one of the chief
causes of tho slow progress^ of female educatiou Ln this country was (ha
want of a system for educating women of respectable family and
position, who, by tho custom of tho country, do not appear in public:
Having regard to this observation, the Director of. Public Instruction
drew up a schenio for zanana education and referred it for opinion to
a conference of experienced educational oflioors. The officers in qurs-
tion, having duly oonsidored tho subject, submitted lo tho Director
their proposals in tho form of tho following seven resolutions :—
(1) That this Conference is of opinion lint tho (ruin " Zanana. Education"
menus tho education of females, who do not come out of their homys, i.e., parda-
na.ihin Indies and girls.
(2) That zanana education should be based on a system -which is acceptable,
to native socioty, find be imparted through popular books of wholesome, tendency
embodying Hindu and Muhammadnii traditions.
(')) That in a populous villngo a small committee, consisting of three to fire
members, should .bo forniod, who by their position and character would command
MIK roFpoct of thoir community'. If tho village is mostly uoiiniosuc] of Hindus,
then nil Ihe members of tho committee should bo Hindus of (lie orthodox class,
one of liiom beinp; a (rovernnicnt servant or a Government punsionisr, if ai'iiil!.iblo,
and ono of the priuslly casto ; if on (lie other hand, tlie residents ol' the i-illage
ar« chiefly j\[ulinninindans, all the members must bo IWuhnmmail.ins of tlio
orthodox class, one of them boing n Govornment lorrmit or a OorurniMiiit
I>nnsioner, if availablo, and ono a jVlaulvi. Tliis Commilios should huro tliu
power (J) to select a competent female teacher, (2) to chooso a convenient cuntro
for flio purpose of assembling the feinnlo pupils of tho village at tho bouso of
soino rcspeclnblo pontlciunn, (3) (o advise the te.tehcr, wheiiyr«r necessary, as to
Inn- v.orl:. (J) to fix f)m amount, of her ivm«ncj-.ifion within ilio liniil.s sjuiclionocl
by tho l'"iliiciiTic ii I)i parlinciit, ind (6) to m.ilte arranj;einrnt,s for othitr parti-
culnrs. Tho cominitlei- should, litiewiuo, bo ru^ponstble to iho Dopartiuent for

INTRODUCTION.
Til !•; purpose of a school is to form and strengthen tho character nnd
to develop tho inlclligenco of tho children entrusted to it, and to innko
tho 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 of
education, 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 because
children will acquire- the bad habit ol idleness, both whou tho work
doniandnd 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 to
clinuoo; on this side no loss than outhe intellectual fido fhe purposo. of
tho teacher must be cloarly ooni'oivod and intelligently carried out.
Honu'lhing may bo done through tho expression aud reading lessons.
I n Hioso the children may bo taken through the biographies of typical
horoes or luroincs, and these biograjihics should he treated in the maiu
with a view to illustrating tho actions of real persons and tho principles
of conduct nnd qunlitios of chamfer whioh piomoto tho wclfuro of (he
individual and society. ,
Q1]^ lives of great men and women, carefully Eolecfed from all
Ftations in life, will furnish tho most impressive oxumplos of obedience,
loyally, ciourago, strenuous effojrt, serviconbloness —indeed of all tho
qunlirioR which mako for good citizenship. The teacher should place in
i-oliol* th.osiv act ions of her heroes or horbinos which exhibit their higher
qualities, but should take caro not to raise (hem loo far above tliolevel of
common humanity by Iho omission of their faults or shortcomings. She

Observation and expression.-—The l<:-;'oin> deaiijned to develop the
power of expression will generally, owing to ;i lade of staff, have \o bo
combined with those ttexiynad to dovolop the power of accurate observation.
Tho.-e lessons should usually (n-ko tho for.n of talks between the .teacher
find (li'i childrf-n about familiar thing*. Tho ;iubjee(s will vary with (ho
.surroundings mid conditions of tlio school : (ho ossonlial point ia
that the. themes solectcd should he wulJ within 'tho range of (ho child-
ren's couipii.heJJ.'iion and interest. Occasionally the children themselves
should bo a.Mcod to suggest a to|)ie. W'hon tho chiof nim of (ho iosson
is 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 of
a shiking el-i;u-iictor: when (ho chief .iim is the dcvelfipmind o/'ubwr-dinn
thoMihJL'ct of tho lessonfihouhi alwa^'s bo sumo eoncreto object. This
olijed, should a ways bo pliiced bolorn (lio .children, find they e!:oukl bo
{.riven every oppoilnuiiy of oxMinitiin^ it. J n these lessons the teacher
should add'refs.herself to tho cliildion individually rnthor than to tho
cluss colloctively, and her object should always bu to make (lio cliildrou
do most of tho talking. Indeed, throughout the?o lossoiis it is ofsontiai
llmt tho ehildicn should bo tuiined and cneournged to talk individually.
Uullor tivo answering cr .eolh'otivo iepi.'i(ion oi (lio words of tho teacher
by tho cliif-s should ncv(r bo allowed, 'T.ho.:o pvnelioi ?; not only render
those oxeroifcs valucloss, but (hoy im; an actual hindrance (o the

a child's liberty of speech more than 'is acluiillyneoewnry. Unnecessary
repression makes a child 1O.-.K coniniimieativo aud less <;blo to express his
own thoughts, consequently Jess capuhlo of clear thinking,
W'hon nn observation lesson is given on a natural object, the
object should always be treated as a living wholu and in.relation to ita
life. .Even in the cailicst lessons, tho fact that each part of an animal
or plaut is what it is tis contributing a necessary element to tho lifo of
the animal or phint should always bo kept in view. Thus irom the first
(ho teaeber should by questioning lead her pupils to analyso tho several
impressions which go to niako up their total impressiou of tho object,
and then briug out the relation of each to tlio wholo. Aftor this
process of analysis, tho separate uspocts should bo reconstructed to
restore- the unity of the impression of (bo object as a whole. Great
stress should not bo laid on tho utility to man of tho natural object
which is beiug studied.

Observation and expression.—Tho lessons designod to dovelop tho
powor of exprossion should now aiiu doh'nitely at training tho children
to reproduce their thoughts in logical seijuonoo. The topics of the
lessons may therefore bo gradually expanded into greater detail, and
the conversational form of tbo lessons gradually give way to a system of
more continuous narration on the.part of tho teacher. Thus towards
tho niiddlu of the year tho elafi.s should bo able to follow a simple

pupils to master printed or written mutter for their own information.
Silent reading should, thciol'ore, be practised fioni the• lirst, and the
teacher will soon get tho children into tlio way of this, if, to bog-in with,
she gives them, short pieces lo read and tiller 11 short time goes round to
tho children individually and asks for an account in thoir own words of
what has been read. Such pieces should bo full of iunident and
interest. As regards reading aloud, clearness of littoraneo and fluency
t-honld always bo kopt in view, but it is also essential that the ehildivu
uhould bo taught to read intelligently. Tho teacher should make the
gist of tho piece oleur be-l'cru it is read, so that .-Iho general meaning4
may bo mastered before it is read out iu class. Without this tho read-
ing inu?t bo mechanical, because it is unintelligent. I t is advisable that
the '.eacher should occasionally read out a passage to tho class by way

uf tlio curriculum rhould supplement the other. Tlio aim of the

school being to train cbildron to obsorvo intolligently what they see
daily arouml tlicin, the teacher cannot m g l w t altogether the raost
important physical features of tlio locality. A rational study of these,
combined with instruction designed to mako tlio children appreciate
to some ostont dimension and spatial rola'.icm can bn mndo up into n
system 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 suggested
Ihut f/io children should first of .all bo (aught; to nutiuo the variation in
the filunlow of tho snn cast by tlio school buihling at different times
of tho dny. In this way they will learn by actual observation tho
.'cardinal point?, and -will thus get a fixed standard by •which to
arrange objects in tho school, tlin playground and iho inimedirito neigh-
bourhood. They should thon proceed t:o actual jnonsuroni'mts—luru
thu teaching can bo brought into liuo with tho aiithmcliu work,— and
iht'FC meiiHuremonts should first of all bo dono in a small area, and by
a rough-arid-ready method, such a? stepping. Measurements by timo
r.honhi' fdso, if possible, bo practised, i.e., a child should bo made to
walk certain distances which she has already paced^ and tlio teacher
fihould tell her how long she took to cover each. Tho next step should
bo to measiiro Inrjjer areas outside tho school. When the child has
acquired somo fairly accurate idea of distance, sha must; bo taught to
represent what sho has measured. This is a difficult stop. Tho first
plan 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 tho
child (itop the spaco of which she is going to draw a plan, record her
fitepR and thou tell her that tho louglh of her tJmmb-joint is to
ropresont ono etep. When slio lias mastered tho ido.i of drawing by
fcido, fho should, if possible, bo shown a map of tho neighbourhood
or village and gradually trained (o draw plans of larger and tnoro
complicated areas, tho g'lal lining- to bo able to draw a large scale
plan of tho neighbourhood. For geography teaching tho childreu
fihould not bo confined to tho school buildings. It is essential that they
should, whenever possible, bo takon out to walk distances and to seo
with their.own oyes.
Elementary drill.—More difficult exercises on the lines prescribed for
Standard I. Tho subject is not compulsory, but should bo taken
whenever possible.
H't/id and eye training, include1';; drawing.—Drawing in pencil tlio
natural objects, studied in connection with tbo naturo observation '
lessons ; the drawing of natural ol jeotn from memory should occasion-

may bo introduced, if considered desirablo.

on tho ordinary grant. This a'lditiouitl allowance h\ proposod, in oulov

to encourage tho • maktabs of Glasses 1 and II to adopt tho full
departmental standards.
Tim ftbovo payments will of oourso havo to be mado out of Ilio
primary grant at (he disposal of Dial riot Boards, and in non-ljoard
dislri'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 probably
itmouni; to ubout lia. 50,000 a your.
5. As regards tho curriculum of studios, T agree with the Oonferem-o
that it would bo dosirablo to treat tho maktabs in Calcutta separately
from those in tho mufu*»al. Paragraph !) of tho oflico noto ubovo
alluded to contains a statement showing tho usual course of studios
adopted in tho Calcutta inaklabu at pra-ont. Enquiry is being mado
as 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 regard
to tlio • suggestion mado in tho papors submitted by tho Conference that
tho Calcutta maktahs should bo under dilforont control from other Pri-
mary school, and bo placed u n d e r the supervision of Dr. Boss, I regret
to say I think this would bo a most mistaken polioy. In my opiuiou
theso maktabs should always bo treated, as far as possible, in tho samo
way as ordinary Biuall Primary schools ; for in tho future it is to bo
hoped they will gradually conform to tho requirements of primary
eduoation. Honoo to separate (hern from tho ordluary scheme of
inspecting 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 which
tho 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 that
tho teaohing of ono of tbo languages,—ILituli, Bengali or Uriya—iu
addition to the Urdu, ma}' be itisistml on; .while in those coming
under class (b) tho only language the teaching of which can bo
in»i»tod-on is the vernacular of the disfviut, Urdu being here- taught
in a second language. Persian should always bo treated as a wholly
optional language for all classes oiinaktnh.
7. Tho question of curriculum again does not come up in connec-
tion with C l a s s ! of the malilahs (viik paragraph o); while, as regards
Class 111 of the maktabs, Bugles1 ions will havo to be made ouJy in
reference to tho Urdu or Persian books to bo taught iu thorn, as in the
olhor Kubjoots they will strictly follow tlio standards laid down for tho
Upper Primary and Lower Primary schools under tho new vernacular
scheme of education. A statemout showing the Urdu or Poisian bookd
that 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 that
detailed directions as regards the courses of studies aro iiocos.sary, and
1 be;: to append a statement (Appendix ]3) giving a course of Etudies
for this class of maUabs, based, as regards Urdu or Persian, ehioil}' on
tho statement proparmi by JLnulvis Muhammad Ibrahim and Abdul
Karini, which was attached to tho printed ollieo note, aud in tho case of
<:liH other subjects, on tho courses prescribed under tho now vernacular

7.-STATE TECHNICAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NATIVES

OF INDIA.
IN iha year l!)03, E i s Majesty's Secretary of Stato for ludia nengi
( cn
minetioned, us a provisional measure, tha iustiluiiou of a certain \ }\
number cf scholarships, tenable by unlives of India, in lPuropo or N",' I
A-inpriea. Tlio purpose of those scholarships WHS to provido for 16 Mm
natives of India that higher technical education whioh'might qualify
them fo assist, in promoting existing native industries, and developing
now industries, wherover tin's mi^ht be possible. Ti-ohnical education
lor this purpose was defined an—(") the study of tho Rcioutilio methods
nnd principles underlying tho practice "1 nny handicraft, industry or
profession ; and \b) the application of these methods nnd. principles to
tho handicraft., industry or profession in question. Law, medicine,
forestry aud veterinary scit-uce being already provided for, were not
included among (ho subjects to be studied by the holders of tbo
technical scholarships, and agrieulturo was exoluded from tho scopo of
the scheme. As far as Bengal was concorned, it was decided that tho
mininj;; industry oil'ered the most favourable field for tli" iuitiation of
tho experiment, and tho scholarships hitherto awnrdc-rt on. tho reoom-
niendntion of the Government of Bengal have been utilised for the
encouragement of that industry. Eleven Shite technical scholars havo
been sont from Bengal in the four yeaia 1904 to l!'0>.
2. The Government of India have now dcoidod to award, during
ihe year li)08 and tho following years, one scholaiphip annually to
each Province,-provided that tho Local Government or Administration
concerned has a suitable candidate to nominate, and that its recom-
mendation is submitted in accordance with tho principles wbiob are
ftatod in paragraph- 0 below, nnd that tho industry to bo studied is
uitlif-r already devplopod or in the process of dovelopnu nt.
3 Tt mny, howoviT, S'imotimos hajipoix that, owing to tho dearth
of eligible candidates in cortniu Provinces, two or moro•.Kcholnrthips
may 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 be
submitted to the Government of India. In such cuses tho oaudidates
need 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 mining
industry. It has further beeu dooided that tho industry which should
be considered as coming next to tho mining industry as regards its
claims to encouragement, is tbo loather tanning industry. Ouo oan-
didato will; if possible, be recommended for a scholarship in connexion
with the mining industry. The question whether, in the event of
this Government recommending to the Government of India more
.limn "no c.findidalc, tbo selootions will bo made for <be mining
industry alnnc-, or for both the milling and the leather tanning
indiiRtiij's, will dopcind largely OII tho chaiao'or of the applications

7. It is essential, not only in the interests of the scholars thovn-
Bulvos, but also in order to nvoid unnecessary extensions of scholarships,
that (lie beginning of the period of thn Fcliolar's residence in Euglnud
should coincide with the opening of thu acaduvnui.il Hussion of tho

iirnmged, in consultation with tho Secretary of State, that seholats
shall report thoiosolvos iu England not later than tho miJdlo of

thorn to loach England oarlior thnn this, and that consequently they
should not ordinarily leave India before tho middle of August.

OF TEXT-BOOKS.

'•KKSOUJTION.—Tho principles which should bo followed in the
fielontitm of toxt-books in schools wero affirmed by the Government of
India sovnrnl years ago. An investigation into'tho •mnuner in which
thi-ne principles have boon followed in practice has satisfied the
Governor-General in Council that tho directions of tho Government
of India have not unfrequently beeu ignored or contravened, and that
it is desirables to issue fresh instructions based on those laid down in
tho past, and to tako steps to ensure that those are strictly carried into
piaotico. I n the present orders the Government of India propose to
confino themselves to a consideration of the que-lion, ns it a {fools
primary and secondary schools and tlio lower dassns of high schools
which are not eugagod in the study of tcxt-hookn prescribed for tho
University examinations. Before proceeding to stiito tliu prinoiples
that should bo followed in selecting text-books for schools of this
oharnot-er, tho Government of India think it desiiable to "ivo a brief
account of the manner in which tho existing orders ouiho subject
J
originated. .
"2 Aftor considering, in communication with Local Governments
and Administrations, the recommendations of a Committee appointed
in 1877 to inquire into the system of prescribing school books and to

tho functions of tlio Local Government as tho finnl authority by which
text-bocks should bo prescribed havo been abdicated either in fiivour
of tho Educational Department or of tho Text-book Committee.
" f>. Tho question of tho constitution of the Committees may bo
(irst inferred to. Tho Government of India contemplated that tlio
I'risidcut of the Committees in each Provinio should bo tho Director
of 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 Central
Proviiu'-H, nud Assam, tho Director is tho J'resident of tho Committee.
In JMiidrna the President of the Committco is a Professor at a private
sollugo. I n Bengt.l • thero aro throe Committees. Tho Central
Committee is presided over by a Jndgo of tho High Court, and tho
liihnr and Orissa Committees hy non-oflloiala. In tho Hyderabad
Assigned Districts thero is no Committee at nil. I n Bombay thero
is 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 primary
cbools, each presided over by an Inspector ol Schools.
" Tlie Committees vary very much in sizo and constitution. In
Madras there are 31 raembors, of whom 2U aro Europeans nud 10 aro
11 the employment of Ooverniueut. Tho Central Committee in
Hengal consists of 24 members, of whom 5 are Europeans and 19
mlivea of India. Fourteen members of it nro Hovcinment servants
noptly in tho Education Department. The Bihar Committee is
iomposi.'d of 31 natives and 2 Europeans, and .-contains '^0 Govern-
uout eorvantfi. Tho Orissa Com mitt GO conluins 5 Jîropenns and 11
lutives, of whom 12 of its meiubois aro Govirnment bervaiita. In the
Bombay Presidency the mem horn of the Committees vary from 6 to 13,
aid tho majority are native officers of the Education Department.. In
Uirma thoro is a Committee of 7 (5 Europeans), of whom 4 are in
JroverniiK'iifc service. I n tlio North-Western Provinces and Oudh
hero aie 40 members of tho Committee, of whom half hcloug to it
x-ojficin. Tho remaindor are annually appointed : o by Hio Director
if Pub]io Instruction, 5 by the Jriseioniiry Education Union, and 10
iy the Local Government. I n the Punjab tho Committee consists of
10 mombers, half appointed by Government and half by tho University.
.n tho Cuntral Provinces the Committee numbers 20, of whom 18 aro
ppoiuted ex-offieio and 12 are Govtrnm.ert servants. I n Assam there
ro 10 members of tho Committeo for selecting books in Assamese, of
>'hom 2. are Government servants. Tho text-books in English and

Tho liiiuntor of I'ublio Inntriioliou publishod a list of such books in

" 8 . 'J'ho oriiois of tho Government of India issued in 1881,
•wliilo lea\ing matters of detail to tho Local Governments, contemplated
that uniformity should be observed in regard to the general principles
for tho sclectiou • of text-books. The account which is given above of
tho orders now in forco showy that this essential objoci! ln:s not been
attained under tho present system; The Governor-General in Council
has now determined that no time should be lost in bringing (he system
of selecting text-books into accord with tho principles which were laid
down long ngo, and which ho now desires to ro-nflirm. But before
doing so ho wishes to record his cordial and oropluuic approoiaUun.
of the great assistance which tho Piovincial Text-book Oi'iunrittees
bavo, for so man)' j'oars past, rend.ord to tho cuu.<o of education. Tho
fact that tho original basis upon which (heso insitutioim wcro con-
stituted has in sonio ro^]ieo)s boon lost sight of, in uo way detraots
from the value of their labours— labours which have in tho majority
of ea6os been prompted solely by a BOUSO of.public duly.
" 9 . In tlio first place, His Excellency in Counoil desires that the
position of the Text-book Couimittco towards the •Educational Depart-
ment hud tho Local Governments and Administrations shall for tho
future bo more precisely defined. I t wns never intended that thoso
Committees should themselves prefcribo tho text-books to bo adopted
in schools.- Their functions should bo strictly limited io advis-ing
the Local Governments am] Administrations. Tlio ultimate decision
as 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 the
authority of tho Local Government in the official Guzetto. I t appeals
to tlio Government of India that there is a danger, il Committees aro
required to examine n.uy text-book which may bo brought to their
notice from '1113' eource whatever, that the duty of recommending texU
books may fall into the hands of a few nionil:ers who may have more
leisure than tho rest. In order to provont the possibility of this remit,

ixistonco, viz., that only text-hooks to which no exception can bo

nken rihall be proscribed in Rohnols for thn tuition in which tho Stata
s either diroctl)' or indirectly responsible. In this respoct the Gov-
Mviment of India cannot coiiEcnt to divest itself ol! tho responsibility
that iittaches both to its interests and to its prerogatives. IE it is to
Lend the resources of the Stato to the support of oortaiu schools, it
oannot abrogate its right to a poworful voice in tho determination of
the course of the studies which is thoro imparlod. Othorwiso its
responsibility censes to be any moro than a nnmo.
" 1 1 . The Text-book Committee of 1877 rocommended that tho
Committees ehould draw up a lint of suiluhlo books divided into two
classes—tho first claxa comprieing books whioh might: bo used both in
Government and in aidod schools, and the second comprising books
which, though not prescribed for use in Government schools, might
bo usod in aidod sohools. . It has already been mentioned that tho Gov-
ernment of India, in passing orders • on this report, determined that
thcVo was no neceBBity to restrict aidod schools to tho USR of text-books
authorized for Government institutions, but separate lists of toxt-booka
—tho ono for Stato and tho other tor aided sohools—havo not been
prepared. As a mattor of praotico, the text-hooka included in the
lists framed on the advice of tho Text-book Committees have, as stated
in paragraph 7 of this ltesolulion, boon in most Provinces used in
aided as well aa in Government sohools. In tho opinion of tho
Government of India, it should bo definitely laid down that no book
not authorized by the Local 'Government or Adinriuistration should
bo used iu any school which roceives support from public roveuues.
In tho schools maintained by tho Government or by Local Bodies ti
largo list of toxt-books is not requirod. Tho c<".rse of instruction
ill each class of school 'should bo laid down, and iho loxt*books for
enoh particular course absolutely proscribed. In thu easo of aided
schools a widor choice is required, and earo should ho lakeu that
tho authorized lists are BO framed as to nliord it. But the Managers
of such schools should, as a condition oC receiving a grunt-in-nid from
Government, bo required to adopt no text-hook which is not included
in the list ol text-books authorized by tho Local Government without
the sanction of tho Local Government. Tho Government of India
entortain no doubt that, if the Manager of an aidod school wishes to
adopt a text-book not included iu tho authorized list, the Local Gov-
ernment will give every facility to have tho book referred to tho
Text-book Committee, with a viow to ils inclusion under tho orders
of 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 the
text-books in unaided schools. But tho Government has a direot
interest in tho course of instruction in sohools which do not tseok ite
aid financially, and, in tho opinion of the Governor-Gc-noral iu Gouncil
the condition may fairly be made that candidates from nn unaidec
Bcbool :u'O liablo to bo oxcludod from auy publio examination, i'o:
passing which a nortilicnto is given, or from competition for si Uovern
ir.cnt scholarship if text-books which are disapprove-! by Govcnunon
are iu uso at the school in question. Lastly, it nppeiu-s to th

1. Inspoctors of Sohools nro authorised to tako steps for tbe
poriodioal chocking of all payments of money into the troasiiry on

as 6hown bolow in tho books of tho Accountant-General:—

to . i Im Oirolo Inspector at tho expiration of each quarter of the

My 0'ivnlitr No. l'V3 o[ 1003 Rooms to havo given rise to some

misi't'iiccplion, ami some Inspecting Ollicors aro ol opinion, that so
muctr.iilial.inj; of accounts will bo required in future, under that
Circular th;d it will interfere with tho other important aud legitimate
portions of inspection work. Tho matter of embezzlement of money
by olllooir, through whose hands money passes is a most troublesome
and difficult altnir, and any plan, euch as has been proposed" by one ot
tho In :ppi loin of Schools, by •which the Deputy Inspectors will help an
Inspector in examining- tho acnounts, seems to me to bo an advantage.
2. It is not expected tliut Inspectors of Schools should do vote a
whole day or moro to a ruinuto examination of the accounts of a school,
or that they s-hould curtail tho number of- their visits to schools to make
linio tor BUO.1I a thorough overhauling of a year's or six months'
accounts, Tho oNiunination of iiccounts is ouly a pait (und not tho
most irupcii'iivnt |nu-t.) oC inspection.
'•}. !U would bo s\ipoi'UuouB to point out that whiln it ia very rarely
possible in praclieo lor tho Head of a Department or of a branch of
the a'huiiiiKtr;vHon, personally, to" look into all the minuto details of
work, ijovi-'ruinent is quito justified in holding an officer responsible
for llio coiu.liKit of his subordiimtoB.
4. "What is wnntod is that each Inspector should be able to
pvoduco su'.;h n morul iniluonco over his subordinate officers, that such
Kubnnliu;iti.'!i sin mid loci sure of being found out if they did anything
wrong. 'With thin viow, tbe Inspector on tho occasion of his visit can
t: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 the
v<::iv, nud, with tho help of tho class Registers, Collection-Books nnd
Treasury riceipls, try to ascertain "whether tho accounts are accurately
kept, and tho wholo of the nionoy received is "regularly sent to the
Treasury or not. directions may also bo givou that the Head Master,
being f.orsjonnlly responsible lor the correctness of tho accounts of bis
fchoo'l, filiould keep u strict oye over his clerks and office, and, over and
ubovo thi.'-:, that t]ie clovks may be changed every three- or four yearBto

I'inancuil Dept.
THK Lii'uh-Tisml-Govoruor has noticod that applications. for new

the objctitinn tnken to it, and the necessity for the particular
th:aiô wliicli IJH:\ advocate. In stiou CORCB it has been not unusual
to cnll on the I'ixcxailivo Engineer for a detailed plan and an estimate
of. cost, which gonoi'iilly takes that officer a grent deal of lime aud
trnublo to propnro, and to send them up with a rooomniendatioa
ior tho sonclion ol Govoinmunt to tho project, and for an allotment of
tlio amount, required, and then, niul not till then, has Government an
opportunity o[ nmîJoring whether tho pvojeot is renlly uecefisary or
roationahlo. Thin practice must be stopped for the future, and all
ollicers of Gnvciniiitnt must understand that ovury'project which hag
to jome bofovo Uovertiment UB involving lnrgor expeiidittue than

VvUdiny litqinsilions.
Hoada of -Departments are authored to sanction by themselves

must 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 tho
Financial Departments, but tho first concerns ilio initiating oflioora and
the d'-jartmonts interested. Administrative winctinn will bo given by
the Department of tho Secretariat which deals with tho ordinary
administrative business of tho officer or department concerned, und in
applying for this, it will rest with tho ofliocrs themselves to provo
the necessity, on administrative grounds, of tho work which they
recommend tho Government to undertake. No application should
reach Government which does not contain such a clear account of tho
matter as shall enable it to decido, not only whether administrative
sanction 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 -a
sketch of the ground plan should generally bo scut up; and, iii
neoessary, the local Public Works officers may be nslicd for their advice
and assistance in preparing those: But regular plnns and estimates
should 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, that
Department will issue the neceasaiy instructions for the preparation of
detailed 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 obtained
no work should be entered in the statement of demands which Heads
of Departments and others are required to submit to tho Pul'lio Works
Department of the Secretariat on or before tho 15th November of each
year for the provision of funds in the following financial year. In
cases of urgency or in very exceptional oases, where tho necessity for
the work arises only a short time before tho statoment is duo, and
could not havo been foreseen, the officer preparing tho oslimato may
include the work, stating at the snme time in a note that administrative
sanction 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 are
built ond repaired by the Civil Departments concerned, it may often
bo found convenient to submit the plan and estimate with, the appli-
cation for administrative sanction. Care must, however, he taken that
this departure fioin the regular procedure laid down above is only
resorted to M-hon no question can arise as to tho necesBity of the
expenditure. It is one of the objects of theso oiderB to save the waste
of time and labour that is involved in preparing plans and estimates of
projects which are uftorwads rejected for administrative reasons. For
all- largo schemes, therefore, aud for any proposal that involvos' a
departure from the standard policy of the oflice or' department in such
mutters, administrative sanction should always be obtained before plans
and estimates are prepared.

l'lttUODlCAL REPArRS.
IT bus boon noticed that tbo bulk.of periodical repairs to buildings B«npjalGovi.,
u oljurge of. this iJopfirtiueut ore undei token and burriod through K P3 . 28n-S5'r.' :(
luring tbu lasl three months of the oifioial year, in order to prevent A.,yioOctr. T
he 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 to
March, as the long vacation iu the hills is during those months.
/ / / . Civil and Criminal Courts Buildings.—All internal repairs
luring 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 procedure
ihould bo observed in future: —
A, 11 repair estimates for Jail and Educational buildings should be
submitted to the Superintending Engineer's oflice by tbo Executive
ind District Engineers by tho 20th March, and the estimates should
be sanctioned by the Superintending Engineer on tbo issue of the
Budget estimates. All other repair estimates should be submitted to
Lbe Superintending Eugineor not later than (ho 15th August. The
repair works can bo commoncod b}' tbo Jet October nt tho latest, by
which date all repair estimates should have beou sanctioned aud funds
illottod.
4. Tbo instructions given heroin will, it is expootod, ensure repair
works being done in a systomatio manner, aud are not intended to
prevent a Superintending Engineer from making such nrrangemonta
tor carrying out works as may best suit tho convenience of looal olficers
and the public in general.
6. It ip hoped that, if due oaro is taken and proper arrangements
are mado boforehftnd, it will not bo necessary to have any annual repair
works oarried out between the 31st Docember and the 31&I March BB
has hitherto been tho practioe.

produuu stagnant air. In this country wlmro tho mnin sourco of
li^liting usually consists of <loora or windows upun to tho ground luvol
aud ftliinlcd by a venindnh, it, is desirable to bavo (1) 11 window near
the roof on the wall opposite tho teacher lor tho purpose of supple-
mentary light, mid ventilation, and (2) a narrow open space or a Bi-ries
of open Rpacim between the top of tho walla aud the roof for tho puiposns

tute for glass, especially iu the case of windows intended for the
purposes of ventilation. .
7. Sky-lights aro objectionable, particularly in "this country-i and
should only bo resorted to when othor forms of lighting are impossible.
8. Bofjfdi'8 being oontinually ventilated by the means above des-
cribed, rooms should, as often as possible, be flushed with fresh air
iulniilttid through open windows and doors. Short intervals should
bo allowed between lootures or lessons when tho rooms should bo
emptied, and every window or door should bo thrown open and the
air completely changed. •
9. It may also bo noted that the gradual deterioration in the
purity of tho air in a room is raroly noticed by tho occupants, though
it is at once apparent to any one entering the room from the outside,
i t manifests itself mainly in the inoreafiing lassi.tudo of tho scholar?,
nnd tho difficulty of Eoouring their attention and interest in the work
beforo them.
The abovo considerations should materially influenoo (ho design
of.sohool buildings. It will be impossible to apply satisfactorily the
principles laid down unloss attention is paid to them wheu the original

of olhcr (Hues whore teachers in l'u'iialo schools gyt froo

appointment on tho i'ree lift.
(g) Tho Medical Oflicor stationed at tho Civil Engineering
College, Sibpur. This Colloge is practically isolated,
and many'I'rofossors, .students, eorvanLs, &.<)., reside there.
It is therefore ndvisablo to require tho Lledionl Officer
to livo on tho promises, and if this is made a. condition
of. his nppointiuct.it, it is nocossury to allow him freo
quarters.
(/<) The Head Clerk, Foremnu, Coinponndors, Head Laboratory
Assistant, Agricultural Lecturer aud Rrofodsors of tho
Civil Engineering Colloge, Sibpur. From the nature
. . of duties these o/Iicors havo to perform, it is considered
advisablo that tlioy should continue to havo tho privilege
of free quarters which they now onjoy.
3. l'n accordance with tho abovo principles, I am to submit two lists
Elbowing (A) the class of officers who should always get froe quarters
and (B) the class of officers to whom free quarters should be allowed
only during the oocupanoy of the present incumbents. All tho officers
named in these lists at present enjoy free quarters. Of those mentioned
in list A, Ncs,. 1—23 are included in tho list received with your letter
No. 29C.W.B., of the Gth January 1899, addressed tu the Publio
Works Department of this Government, and it is in resjieot of the
others that tho sanction of tho (lovortimont of India is requested.
With regard to list B, it would appear from tho list altaolieii to the
Government 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 allowed
to ouch sueoesHivo occupant of the pn<:f,s roi'orrod to, whereas undor the
principles outlined above suoli Is not uooossary. Tho other otHcors in
this list, viz., Nos. 12—lf», havo also hitherto enjoyed freo quarters,
but without- tho requisite tiuiotion. Mis Honour, however, considers
that to suddonly withdraw this privilege in tho ease of these 10 officers
would entail some hardship on thorn, and I am therefore desired to aek
thnt tho Government of India will sanction tho enjoj'nieut by thorn of
the privilego in question as Jong as ihey hold their present posts; future
incumbents being required to pay rent in Accordance with tha ordinary
ruIcH.

{<>) QUARTERS FOR PRINCIPALS AND PROFESSORS OF

COLLEGES.
Iiciululinn Ac*. S19—331, (luted (he 16th May 1306, by the Goet. of
India, Home Dtpt.
IN the lluiuu Di'pnrlmoul letter of the 21th January 1905, Local
G->vornnii)tit:! worn asked to furnish tho Government of India with their
views- upon the general question of providing quarters for Principals
and l'rofessoi'3 of (.alleges, and to submit dofinite proposals for giving
J'rei> accommodation to ono or two officers at each Government Arts
I'ollcge, together with an estimate of tlio approximate cost of suoh an.
arrangement. The Government of India expressed the opinion that
tlm provision of fruo reaidonoe should undoubtedly carry with it the
obligation on purl of tho ocoupaufc to discharge certain specified duties
in connection with the supervision of the students and the direction of
tlioir studies and recreations.
2. The replies received from LOCHSI Govornments show that they
hrivn generally uceoptod the proposition that Principals and a certain
number of 1'rotopaovn in Govoviunoi.it Arls Colleges should ho provided
with fine u'lcoinniodarion. In tho cuurso of the discussion,, two
subsidiary questions have been raised, viz.—(l)whether the concession
plionld be resti icted to oflicers of Arts Colleges only, nnd (2) whether
it should bo limited to officers belonging to the superior service. The
Ifovi'iunient of India do not think thoro is sufficient reason for restriet-
iug the scheme to Arls Oollogos, nor do they consider it desirable that
miy limitations* should h> In id down as to the status of tho officer for
vih'ini free quaiI.DIK should be providod. Locul Governments genorally
•joiisider tliat il. irs uo< desirahlo to lay down prcoiso directions as to the
fiTi'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 may
MI iMiriahly be lii-ld reypoimiblo for Fiipervising the students out. of
•••n!!i;rii hiiurs and for seeing that tho buildings and grounds are
iii':inf;iiiiecl in a [iroper niaimor. On this understanding the
' ii vrinnr-l Jenoral in Council is content to Ieavo it to the Local
i. ioM'riinie.iils to enforoo BUCII conditious as may bo considered
ni'i'i .--,ary anil jiraolieablo.
•'. Tlio proposml.i wit.li regard to tho provision of fro© quarters
N.r i diicatiomil ollicors wliich tlio Govornmont of India have
nceordingly 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 to
tho collego building, tho Local Govornmont may, without tho
sanction of tho Govornmeut of India, provide free quarters
for not more than tho Principal and one Professor, on
tlm condition that defiuito duties aro assigned to the officers
thua yrivilfgod in oonneofion with the supervision and
I'liTfiieul ivulfnro of tho fitudtints.
XIV. BUIUHKOS AN1> II RSIHRNCT.S. M9
Government J.tinds.
(b) in any case in •which it is considered desirable to extend the ;

privilege to more than two ofiioers, tho Local Government
fjhall refer the matter for tho consideration of the Govern-
ment of India, with a, full explanation of the ronsons for
1,1 ID proposed oxtonsion;
(c) allowances will not ordinarily bo givon in liou of froo quarters
and no such allowances mny bu given without tho sunction
of tlie Government of India;
(-/) tlio provision of residences being diroetly and immediately
connected with tlio duty of supervision, shall in no oaso be
ropiirdod as a right or olaimuil by Runiorily, but the
residences shall bo assigned to those uioniboiB of tho college
btulf who are considered bout iittud for tho duty.
I HAVE the honour to say that from sovoral cases which have come
up 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 tho
various olassos of Educational officers.
2. Tho result is that, when plans and estimates aro submitted,
frequently the amounts estimated by the Publio Works Department
are either in excess of or less than tho amounts admissible. It is
desirable therefore to inform the officers of the Department- what rates
nro admissible, 60 that when they <;nll for plans and estimates for
residonoos for any particular class of oifiners, the}' nuiy be able to
inform 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 Educational
Servioo, Rs. 7,209;
(3) in tho ease of mombers of tho. Subordinate Educational
Sorvico, 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, of
Bengal, Municipal Dcpt.
1 AM directed to address you on the subject oE thopaymentof muni- .,
cipnl tuxos imposed on Government buildings which avo ocoupird by 1S>U v/n-.'
Government servants for tho purposo of rcsidouco, whether on payment
(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 Government
will pay the owners' or landlords' taxo?. TJnrior tho Bengal Munioipal
Act 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 levied
under section 89 in places whore the tax on persons is in forco. In
Calcutta half tho consolidated rate is payable by the owner and the
othor half by tho occupier. Under paragraph 1CG8-1 (e) (ii) of tho
Tublio Works Code tho owners' taxes payablo on Government buildings
should bo included in tho rent charged in respect of such buildings, and
steps are now bein-g taken to revise tho rents where necessary iu
accordance with these orders.
3. Furthor enquiry has shown that the orders already issued in the
ubovo Circular require to bo supplemented in several respects, and 1 am
accordingly to convey the following in.-lruetions : —
(1) The rent, including owners' taxes, will still bo subject to the
limit 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 Government
building or block of buildings which is assrssod as a singlo
holding, as for instance a II.ouso Surgeon in a hospital or
an Inspector of Polioo occupj'ing quarters in tho polico-liues.
(3) TVhoro a building is used partly for Govorumont purposes
and partly as a ronideiino, and tho ocoupior is not obliged
to live in it for tho propor pnrtormanco of his duties, tho
occupier'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 the
remainder.
(1) It will bo open to nny ofUeor whoso rent ie raised, owing to
theso orders, to make a representation on tho subject, if ho
considers that there are reasonable grounds for doing so.

publio i-ervicii of oortnin conccstiiojis designed to ouuhlo thorn, when
bitten by a rabid animal, to prooocd without dolaj' to tho Pasteur
iiietiluLo at Xnsanli or Ooonoor for treatuiout.
2. In the case of Qovoruraont sorvants, tho Government of Iudia
considor that ft distinction munt bo nrndo botwoou tlioso who are too
juior to ]>rocced at their own oxponsc to a Pasteur Institute for treat-
niont, and thuBo who onu uflurd eventually to pay for their jimruey but
havo a difliculty hi finding the raijuiutu moans at ouoo. Tho fonuc-r
me, in tljcir opinion, tit suhjocts for State beneliooucu: the needs of
tbo latter can most suitably be mot by tho grunt of advances. The
question of giving similar assistnuco to private individuals stands on a
di/foreiit footing, and it may bo argued that the positiou oi' facilities to
enable thi.-m to obtain treatment should bo loft to private- charity. The
fjrovtTiiuienfc' of India however rocognibe that thay ocoupy a very
.•special position towards tho subjVct of modiral relief, aud that tlio
circuin.'itiiuees of this partieukir oas:o call for special oousideriition, since
tho 'Bufi'oror's rocovery doi>eiids on his being ublo to .start for n Pasteur
ln.stitiito at once, a condition which private charity cannot ho counted
on to secure Tho Government of India havo therefore decided to lay
down tho following rules for the guidance of Local Govern moats and
Administrations:—
J.—Any Government -servant who hn° IK en bitten by a rabid
animal, and who is too poor to proiwd to Kasauli or
(Joonoor at his own expense, may, provided (hat he is
drawing not more than Its. 100 a month, be granted—•
