284 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. — 1920. 



Public Elementary Schools ' and of the ' Syllabus of the Board's Final Examina- 

 tion of Students in Training Colleges, 1922.' 



There are sixty-eight County Directors of Education in England and Wales. 

 A questionnaire was prepared for these, and Miss E. P. Hughes undertook its 

 circulation to the twenty-nine County Directors in Wales. In addition to the 

 thirty-nine questionnaires distributed in England, personal letters were written 

 to eight other Directors of Education. The response was not complete, but a 

 mass of valuable information is in the hands of the Committee to be dealt with 

 later. 



Much time has not elapsed since the appeal was sent to Scotland and Ireland, 

 but some returns have already been received. A considerable amount of work 

 remains to be done before the survey can be considered to be complete. 



Since this report was drafted the Committee have received from Mr. Shyam 

 Shankar, Pandit and Secretary to H.H. the Maharajah of Jhalawar, the terms 

 of a proposal for a Students' League or League of Empire for Native Students in 

 India, which has practically the same objects as the schemes which are herein 

 referred to. The draft will be considered in connection with similar proposals 

 for other parts of the Empire in a future report. 



The Committee desire to record their thanks to all who have given assistance 

 so far, and, since ' gratitude is the sense of favours to come,' they look forward 

 py additional help in pursuing the research and preparing a final report.
