Abstract

Government collect aspecial cess for educational purposes, and it is to be regretted that this fund is not spent for the purposes of which it is collected. It is said, are without any provision, what ever, for primary instruction. A good deal of their own poverty, their want of self-reliance, their entire dependence upon the learned and intelligent classes, is attributable to this deplorable state of education among the peasantry. Even in towns Brahmins, Purbhoos, the hereditary classes, who generally live by the occupation of pen, and the trading classes seek primary education. The cultivating and the other classes, as a rule, do notgenerally avail themselves of the same. A few of latter class are found in primary and secondary school, but owing to their poverty and other causes they do not continue long at school. As there are no specialinducements for these to continue at school, they naturally leave off as soon as they find any menial or other occupation.
