(Received August 26, 1905.)
[Answered by No. 68.]
High Commissioner's Office, Johannesburg, August 7, 1905. WITH reference to my despatch, No. 738 of July 31st, I have the honour to enclose, for your information, a copy of the undermentioned documents on the subject of Imperial education.
SIR,
I have, &c.,
SELBORNE,
High Commissioner:
SCHEDULE OF ENCLOSURES.
1. Letter, No. 138, from Secretary, North-Western Rhodesia. July 21.
2. Despatch, No. 99, from Acting Administrator, Southern Rhodesia. July 26.
(No. 138.)
Enclosure 1 in No. 23.
Administrator's Office, Kalomo, North-Western Rhodesia,
July 21, 1905. I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of His Excellency the High Com- missioner's despatch, No. 20/94 of the 28th ultimo, on the subject of the Secretary of State's circular despatch, relative to Imperial education, and in reply I am to state that there are, as yet, no schools for white children in this territory, and, as there is no white child population, it is not anticipated that any will be opened for some considerable time to come.
In the few native schools which are in the country, the pupils have not yet reached a sufficiently high stage of educational development to enable them to appreciate the lectures which the Secretary of State suggests inaugurating.
I am to state, however, that His Honour will, when the times arrives, make every effort to further the wishes of the Secretary of State in this direction.
The Imperial Secretary,
Johannesburg.

I have, &c.,

High Commissioner to Resident Com- missioner, No. 17/21 of May 29, 1905. High Commissioner to Acting Adminis- trator, No. 20/94 of June 28, 1905.
Administrator's Office, Salisbury, July 26, 1905. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's despatch, No. 22/99 of the 11th instant, relative to Imperial education. In reply thereto and to the previous Communications noted in the margin, I have the honour to express to Your Excellency the sympathy of this Administration with the objects set forth in the Secretary of State's circular despatch of the 13th April last, and the hope that at no distant date Southern Rhodesia may participate in the scheme set forth. At present the European population is so sparse and the centres

so few that its adoption would seem premature, while the Southern Rhodesia native population is not so advanced as to be able to appreciate instruction of this nature.

The High Commissioner, Johannesburg.
I have, &c.,

Acting Administrator.

August 30, 1905. REFERRING to Colonial Office letters of 13th September last, No. 37132/1902, and 5th May last,* of same number, I am directed by the High Commissioner to ask if you will kindly inform him by return where the lectures and lantern slides on a journey to England from the Eastern Colonies can be obtained, as he has been requested by his Government to procure and forward to the Education Department in New Zealand the lectures and slides, Nos. II, and IV., on "London, the Imperial City," and "Historic centres and their influence on national life," respectively, and he would, if possible, like to obtain them in time for enclosure in a case leaving this Office for the Colony on Monday next.

SIR,
[Answered by No. 46.]
Downing Street, September 1, 1905.
In reply to Mr. Kennaway's letter of the 30th ultimo,† I am directed by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton to express his regret that, as the lectures and lantern slides on a journey to England from the Eastern Colonies have not yet been placed on sale in this country, it will not be possible for you to send them to New Zealand next week.
You shall be duly informed as soon as the lectures, which are now in the final stage of printing, have been published, and where and at what price the books and the slides can be obtained; but so far it has not been proposed to place the lectures and slides on sale otherwise than in complete sets.
