§ * MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of Bombay has issued a Resolution expressing regret that the advance of education in that presidency has been accompanied in recent years by a lowering of the standard of manners in schools and colleges, that this is due in some measure to the tendency of masters, boys, and students to associate themselves with political demonstrations, in which the way of anarchy is prepared; and, if the Answer be in the affirmative, whether he will place a copy of the said Resolution in the Library.
§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BUCHANAN,) Perthshire, E.The Resolution referred to has been printed in the public Press, and the Secretary of State does not think that anything would be gained by placing a copy in the Library.
§ * MR. REESIn view of this statement as to the result of the present system, will the Government consider the propriety of changing the system?
§ MR. BUCHANANI hardly think that arises out of the Question.
