Bethune Collegiate School Magazine 1934

1934

May God grant it a long and properous life By the grace of the almighty the Bethune School the premier instittion for the education of women in India has reached the eighty-fourth year of its existence. [...] Female eduction in the meantime has made rapid wides in the country and has far outrun the expectation of the fouders of the instiution. [...] The system of co-education that was adopted in "pathshalas' appeared faulty and the discussions on the point attracted in 1819 the attention of a Baptist missionary who made an appeal to the public on the lamentable illiteracy of Hindu ladies and pointed out the desirability of giving the girls a decent education. [...] The nice and attractive bronze images kept in the almirah the delicately curved earthen pots the matchless image of the Nataraj " the incomparable bronze eighteen armed 'Tara' all speak highly of the artistic taste of the time and these prove beyond doubt the antquity of the Indian civilisation and the cultural height which Indians reached in the earlier ceturies. [...] The place seems to be the quieest parts of the world and when one stands there on that height and looks far far away into the distant corfields on which the game of hide and seek is going on between the sun and the clouds one hears as if the midday prayer rising up into the sky with the sweet sound of bell and conch-shell.
