CHAPTER VIII.
EDUCATION.
THE subject of Education demands a short chapter
to itself, for not only is the subject very important
in itself, but Benares has special features as an
educational centre, and this increasingly so from year
- to year.
No attempt will be made to trace the history of the
various institutions, except in one or two cases. The
aim will rather be to give a very brief sketch of what is
being done at the present time.
No one will dispute the value of education, except
the uneducated, though a variety of views may be held
as to what constitutes "education," the extent to which
facilities should be afforded for the many obtaining
higher education, whether steps should be taken to en-
sure all children getting primary education, whether
English should be encouraged, or whether the vernacu-
lars should be more insisted on,------These and many
other questions of a similar character are deeply interest-
ing, but the discussion of them would not be suitable
here, even had the writer the knowledge to present the
various aspects of the questions profitably.
