 that there should also be such facilities for the highest education in India itself that ordinarily our youth need not go abroad for the best liberal education. Here again we ought to explain that as no country can specialize in everything and do without the inspiration, instruction and information which can be had abroad, we are not against but for our students going to foreign countries after they have received the best education in this country. Germans, Frenchmen, Americans, Englishmen, Japanese, etc., go abroad for finishing their education, in spite of the ample educational facilities to be found in their respective countries. Such should be the ease with us also.

And in order that our educational equipment and arrangements should be up to date, adequate and progressive, large sums of money are required.

No province of India has so much cash as Bombay. Bombay can set the example to the other provinces of India, if only her many multimillionaires have sufficient cultural patriotism and enthusiasm. And as they are hard-headed men of business, they should be assured that such patriotism will pay both in the literal and the figurative sense.

The other point in Sir Chimanlal Setalvad’s address to which we wish to draw attention is that he is in favour of journalism being taught by our Universities. This is not a new suggestion but is nevertheless a good one. Already journalism is absorbing a few of our University men. It would be good if future journalists had a previous training for the profession.

Some of the subjects which a course in journalism must include, such as economics, political science and sociology, are already included ïn some of our graduate courses. Those who would go in for journalism might be asked to attend these courses, for which there are already professors and lecturers in some Universities. For other subjects, teachers will have to be appointed.

We believe the national University founded by Mrs. Annie Besant in Madras teaches journalism. Suggestions regarding courses may be obtained from its syllabus of studies. Then there is the London syllabus. Syllabuses may also be obtained from America.

Some of the regular lecturers in journalism will have to be drawn from the ranks of professional journalists; and there may be in addition occasional lectures or series of lectures by distinguished journalists.

The students will have to receive their practical training in connection with some periodicals and daily and weekly newspapers. Apart from party views, and differences of opinion, in choosing the journals in connection with which training is to be given, it may be necessary to discriminate between papers according to the principles or want of principles which govern their conduct. This may not be quite an easy task, but the difficulties which may present themselves are not insurmountable.

Sir Chimanlal concluded his address with the following message of Rabindranath Tagore to the students:—

There can be no question that journalism plays a very useful part in society. There are abuses of journalism which give rise to great evils. But we are concerned here with only its right use and proper functions. There is no field of politics, religion, ethics, education, sanitation, economics, industry, business, literature, art, scientific and philosophic thought, law, fashion, etc., in which the journalist may not have something to say. Therefore, journals may have great influence, as some of them undoubtedly have, and had in the past.

But this should not lead any sensible
