rtmental method of
election does not admit of sufficiently wide publicity of notice to
attract the best candidates.

83, 628 (II) _System of training and probation._--As regards probation
and training, Educational officers should first win a reputation as good
teachers before the appointment is confirmed as they are transferred to
important colleges.

83, 629 (IV) _Conditions of Salary._--As regards conditions of Salary,
the pay should be moderately high, but not extravagant, and settled once

bring about that harmony which is so necessary among all the members of
an educational institution, professors and students alike.

Civil Service, I am under the impression that they are somewhat
strained, but of this I have no personal experience.

83, 633 (IX) _Other points._--I have endeavoured to give my opinion on
the definite questions which have been asked. There is another aspect of
educational work in India which I think of the highest importance,
though I am not exactly sure whether it falls within the terms of
reference to the Royal Commission. I think that all the machinery to
improve the higher education in India would be altogether ineffe
