There is one piece of work of general interest to Bangal as a whole which is being actively prosecuted by Mr. West Reader in Education and Principal of the Training College, with the aasist which I feel bound to draw attention. It deals with a problem in which I have long been interested."

As a member of the Calcatta University Commission, came to the conclusion that far too little time and trouble was devoted to the mother tongue in Bengal, that far too rauch was spent on English and with reauits quite incommensurate to the time " second spent. The problem of language in Bengal is in many ways the problers of all but the three or four countries of which the language is in A sense in universal use and which

No one would dream of say ing that Swedish, or 'Danish, or Dutch, or even Russian would suffice alone for the educated, men of those countries Ior not only is that so, but except in the case of Russia, of which I dare pro- phesy nothing, none of those countries is likely in the near future to be able to afford to producs the scientific, tech- nical and learned literature needed by its citizens in order to bring their in- Hformation up-to-date.

out that it is far more important for the vast majority of Indian boys to be able to read English silently than to speak English The problem of silent reading is one which has engaged the attention of many educators and pay chologists, during the Inst few years, especially in America. It is one of the greatest importance to the practical man who needs not to be able to read slowly and painfully word for word, but above all to be able to glance through "tear the "a book or Lewspaper, to heart out of it as we say, to find out The process is quietly what he wants. sometimes called skimming a some what derogatory term. It was: I think Earl Balfour, then Mr. Arthar Bal four, who said in a University address, that the inan who cannot skim, can- not read. The problem, of teaching silent reading and skimming in a fore- ign tongue is the new problem which it was left to Mr. West and his collabora tors to tackle and in dealing with which he has reached most important and in teresting results. I can only touch on the subject, without entering into the details of the many hundreds of experi

Weat and his students in the schools of He Daces, Hyderabad and elsewhere? has brought to light the unexpected fact that one of the reasons why many Bengali boys cannot read quickly and silently in English, is because they cannot read quickly and silently in their mother tongue; that the process is transferable from one language to another; that im provement in Bengali followz jimprove- ment in English, and vice versu.
