Indian Education

1904

It was the duty of the University he urged to train and inspire the teachers and to endeavour to improve the secondary schools and to reform their curriculum as University work was at prsent hampered by the low intellectual standard of many of the public schools; secondly to kindle the intellectual enthusiasm of the averageEDUCATION IN ENGLAND. [...] THE revision of the primary code of the Bombay Presidency (and in particular the revision of the curricula fixed under that code) has entailed as a necessary corollary the recasting of the series of vernacular readers used in Native Primary and AnglVernacular schools. [...] They are the teaching of the letters and the general rudiments of reading the extetion of the appeal to 'interest ' the introduction of a more personal and more practical attitude into lessons dealing with nature and common objects the reconstruction of the science lessons on a more experimental basis the cultivation of the germs of the historic sense through historical story and biography [...] Now in the Aligarh College where I have served as head of the school department for three-and-a-half years a direct method of learning English has to some intents and purposes been applied ever since the College was founded owing to the life and spirit of the place and the relations between the staff and the students. [...] A great deal will depend on the zeal of the teacher and his capacity to interest the class ; there must be none of the depression of the sleepy conventional lesson with the well-known reprimand of " Keep your eyes on the book." Under the more rational method a boy will probably be punished for looking at the book too much.
