FEDERATED MALAY STATES
1359
It is estimated that there are in the Federated Malay States about 70,000 children of a school-going age, but only 9,000 of these attend any recognised school, while many live in places far removed from any school-house; it is a fact that education has no great attraction for Malay parents, or Malay children, who might contribute by far the largest number of scholars. The Government offers every reasonable encouragement, and there is even a law in force in Selangor and the Negri Sembilan for compelling the attendance of children who live within reasonable distance of a school. The population of the Federated Malay States is now just over a million. The Federal Council was inaugurated on 10th December, 1909.
The imports into the States in 1910 were valued at $50,094,876 while exports amounted to $102,244,199
