ABSTRACT
A very remarkable circumstance occurred during the author visit, the first of the kind in the history of India; it excited the extreme indignation of the conservative party. This is another remarkable sigu of advance; for in India the women are not allowed to take meals with their husbands, they are often treated as servants, wait upon their husbands, and take their meals afterwards. The occupations which are generally followed by women in this country are not permitted to tho women of India. It is the men who do the needlework for the women in India. The Calcutta gentlemen were much opposed to the establishment of a female normal school, or to anything which indicated change in the condition of the women of India. In the placo, the younger classes sit in the schools without any possibility of suitable occupation or interest, and their education is exceedingly neglected.
