ABSTRACT
Encouragement of a much more pleasing character is to be derived from the attendance at the missionary schools, where the whole instruction rests upon divine truth. Some years must elapse, before children of Christian converts under instruction, can be fitted, if ever they should be disposed, to engage in duties of charity, towards their benighted countrywomen. The ‘Ladies’ Society’ in Calcutta, in the hope that their countrywomen will not turn a deaf ear to so strong an appeal, have made known their readiness to provide visiting teachers, whenever they may be called for. The necessity of an avowed Christian direction to the efforts which may effect the elevation of the Hindoo females from their present degradation to their proper level, having been prominently set forth, the history of past attempts is offered in the hope of exciting further endeavours on their behalf.
