ABSTRACT
The higher classes of Muhammadans are to a great extent excluded from Government schools by reason of no attention being paid to their special requirements. The present mode of inspection by the educational authorities is insufficient to do any real good to these schools. The Anjuman-i-Islám is also directing its efforts to attain this end. The Urdu Series lately issued by the Punjab educational authorities is a great improvement upon its predecessors, and might be adopted with advantage in the Muhammadan schools until a better one is produced As to Persian there are no satisfactory text-books at all. The teachers of each class in conjunction with the examiners seem to me to be the best authorities on the question as to whether a particular pupil should or should not be promoted inasmuch as a variety of matters may have to be taken into account with which the examiners acting merely as such would have no concern at all.
