Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Vernacular Education in Ceylon
It would be presumptuous to attempt any systematic report on vernacular education and the working of the compulsory Ordi nances on so short an acquaintance with the system and anyone in Ceylon who is conversant with educational problems would be more competent to perform suchia task than I. The following pages are merely a few rough notes intended to bring out certain points in the Ceylon system which may be found of interest in India at a time when the question of mass education is being much discussed and local legislatures are introducing measures permitting the adoption of' compulsion. They are intended for readers in India. I regret that, imperfect as the notes necessarily are, my present duties have prevented my bestowing that care which I should have desired upon their editing.
