DUTCH EAST INDIES; SCHEME FOR TRAINING CIVIL
A SERVANTS.
For a long time past, writes The Hague correspondent of the London Observer, there have been rumours that certain important concerns connected with the Dutch East Indies had offered to endow Utrecht State University with as many chairs as would be required for the com plete training-of-future-colonial civil ser vants. Events now show that these stories are very well founded.

It was suggested that the Leyden professors gave undue emphasis to questions of ethics and that their teachings on the responsibility of foreign capitalism to the natives was Fience liable to misinterpretation.

The Government has by no word of action shown its disapproval of this pri- vate enterprise, which act only accuses Leyden of anti-national teaching, but which will tend to give a very definite and one-sided colouring to the new tuition? In an article in the monthly De Gids, the six Leyden professors involved refute the allegations entirely point by point. and sum up the polity of their teaching as based on the co-operation with the natives, and continuous furtherance of Indonesian social interests.
Requests have reached the Minister of Education, from various quarters, asking him to withhold his sanction from the The juridical faculty of new faculty. Amsterdam University is one of those, as well as professors of other faculties, at Groningen University and of. Utrecht University itself.
Amongst those mentioned as possible occupants for the new professorial chairs are Mr. I. A Nederburgh, ex-president of the Dutch East Indian High Court, and Dr. F. C. Gerretson, a director of the "Balaafsche Petroleum Maatschappij " (Royal Dutch), and known through this literary work under the pseudonym of Geerten Gossaert.
