 obW obttacle* in tbo way of .-j.Ubli.hing new aohooU are the .mall 



sums devoted annually by the government for educational purposes, 

 and the difficulty of obtaining qualified teachers. The Bombay Board 

 ation has adopted a system somewhat different from that fol- 

 lowed in the other presidencies. It has provided normal school* for 

 the training of teacher., and requires that teachers should give instruc 

 Uon through the vernacular language. It looks for Iocs] sasutano 

 the nstives, and require* small fees from the pupil. ; but it assists in 

 th* building of school-rooms, furninhing book*, &c. not only for the 

 schools but for village libraries. The ' Elphinstone Native Educa 

 tional Institution' is the principal establishment in Bombay, where 

 about 600 scholars attend, about one-half of whom pay a fee. There 

 ar* a few provincial English schools, and a considerable number of 

 Government District Vernacular schools. There are also several 

 village schools. There arc two schools, founded in 1 815 by Archdea- 



Bames, for educating the children of the European poor, in v 

 327 children are boarded and educated ; they are mostly the orphans 

 of soldiers. There is also the Orant Medical College, and a medical 

 college founded by Sir Jeinsetjee Jeeieboy, a Parse*, in connection 

 with the hospital Th* Scotch Church ha* a school in Bombay, and 

 an Orphan A.ylum for female*. The Scottish Free Church ha* seve- 

 ral schools. Both bodies avail themselves largely of the assistance of 

 natives a* teacher*. Other religion* bodies also contribute by tlu-ir 

 efforts to the spread of education. The manager* of Charity schools 

 are now empowered to apprentice the children under their charge, 

 and magistrates of police nave authority to bind those that fall into 

 their hands, to learn trade* and professions. Schools of industry 

 have long been established at Bombay, for the reception of the desti- 

 tute, and for the instruction in the improved practice of arts and 

 handicraft, of all who care to resort to them. 



A literary society has been established for many years in Bombay, 

 and several quarto volume* of it* transactions have been published. 

 In 1810 the society became a branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 

 of .London. A geographical society has also been established at 

 Bombay. 



The military charges for Bombay presidency amounted in 1851-52 

 to 1,633,8281. The total receipts of the presidency for the year 

 1851-52 amounted to about 2,733,9U2i. ; the disbursement* to 

 3,200,5331. The public debt of the presidency on April 30th, 1851, 



is about 1,346,6581 



During the year 1S45-46 the amount expended on the construction 

 snd repair of road*, tanks, and building, was about 20,0001. ; during 

 184647 it was about 31.50W. Since that time, in addition to the 

 ordinary outlay for such purposes, a special grant has been in..d.- for 

 the construction of a mole and road at Kurraclu- The 



total amount expanded during fifteen years (1837-381851-52) -., 

 public works, comprising road*, bridges, embankments, canals, tank*, 

 and well*, wa* about 570,1 7 </. 



In th* Hombay presidency the revenue settlement is chiefly riyotoar. 

 A new survey is now being made, and under it the land* are iiibdi- 

 vided into field* of moderate nixe, so that each subdivision may be 

 without difficulty cultivated by a farmer of limited means. Th 

 government asassanicat is laid separately upon each Bold, and leases 

 are granted for 30 years, at a fixed mini, Haahl government 



for th* full term : th* cultivator having on his part the option of nur- 

 rendering any one or more of hi* fields, or altogether putting an end 

 to his least at the docs of anr given year.
