Last year there were only eight English professors as against 23 Indians, though, during the same 30 years, the number of pupils had increased from a little over 350 to close on 700--i.e., it had nearly doubled.

The Calcutta Presidency College is, even so, far better off in this respect than most colleges except the missionary institutions, in which the European staff of teachers has been maintained at a strength that explains their continued success.

Out of 127 colleges there are 30 to-day with no Europeans at all on the staff, and these colleges contain about one-fifth of the students in all colleges.

Of the other colleges 16 have only one European professor, 21 only two, and so forth.

In the secondary schools the proportion of native to European teachers is even more overwhelming.
From the point of view of mere instruction the results have been highly unsatisfactory.
