Indian Education

1904

With the effect of the House of Lords' judgment on education in Scotland the readers of Indian Education are little concerned bust it is worth while to quote the words of a writer in the London Times because what he says of the Free Church Colleges at home illustrates the position of these in India. [...] And the importance which the nation is attaching to physical well-being is steadily turning public attention to great problems of social reform—to the evils of slum dwellings to the need for a more scientific diet to the perils of intemperance to the iportance of ' ventilation in houses and in schools to the value of open spaces :xercise and recreation to the advantage of physical culture [...] But at any rate the book must be a serious attempt to convince the reader of the safety of the foundations on which the system rests The doctrine itself must on the whole be clearly stated and carefully reasoned and the conclusions must be in agreement with one another and the principles from which the author started Can we say that at least in these respects Mill's Logic fulfils the requirement [...] Now in a very general way the processes of development and organization in the cells which control the movements of the other joints of the arm even to the joints of the fingers follow in regular order down the limb and the cell-groups in the brain stand at regularly increasing distances. [...] On the other hand the steady increase in the number of candidates for the technical examinations would seem to be evidence of a growing desire in the youth of this country to qualify themselves in technical branches of knowledge while the rise in the percentage of success obtained in the examinations of the year indicates an improvment in the quality of the instruction imparted in the schools
