Sir. In view of the grant of 333.333 (50 lakhs) awards increased facilities for native education. announced by his Majesty the King at the Durbar, letters have reached the Committee of the Education Fund for Europeans and Knroaians in India, quiring whether the said grant would not, at least partially, obviate the necessity for the fund. We should like to point out that 313,000 tion of 3 IS, 000, 000 works oat at about 1.000 persons. How little this will touch the section of the community for whom are appealing is therefore obvious.
