The Importance of Religious. All except those who are opposed to all religion, will agree that every child has a religious eduction, and the that every parent can justly demand that his child shall be taught the doctrines of his particular faith. It seems, therefore, on the face of it, to be natural that religion should have its place among the subject taught in schools. Surely religion is, to say the least of it, as important as history, geography and arithmetic. At school, children should learn not only certain subjects of knowledge, but also right behaviour discipline and good conduct. That is eduction must be not only intellectual, but moral for a good character is more important than even learning. The great preactical object of religion must form the most important part of a moral education. Further where secular education is completely separated from religious education, children grow up in ignorance of their religion and often learn to despise it. A purely secular education has a tendency to undermine religion. At the same time, the giving of religious in school is attended by grave difficulties and drawbacks. Where the people are all of one religion, the matter is simple but where as in India there are many religion in one plac, it becomes very complicated.

The Gramophone Familiarity breeds contempt. The Gramophone is so common now, that we have ceased to winder at it. Yet it is a truly wonderful invention and even now if we possible to catch such a fleeting thing as sound, and record it in such a way that it can be repeated and reproduced at will, so that we can actually hear the very words and the toned of the voice of a man who died, it may be, years ago. The uses of the Gramophone, or talking machine, are many. Its main use is to give pleasure all the pleasure that music can give. It is a great boon to music lovers who have little opportunity fo hearing good music such as those who live in small country places or in foreign lands far from civilization. Such can listen to the voices of the greatest singers and the finest orchestras of the day for the Gramophone is now so perfected that a good machine reproduced the finest shades of tone and expression of human voice and of musical instruments. It has too, its educational uses, especially in teaching music and singing. A singer, by listening to a song sung by some great master, can learn how that song should be sung and he can have the song repeated over and over again, until he has mastered it.

The Game of Cricket ?. Cricket is the great national game of the English. Of all outdoor games, it is the most scientific and requires the most skill. It is played in India also but the expense of its upkeep, and the difficulty in some districts of getting a good ground makes it far les popular in India colleges and schools than football and hockey. Cricket requires a very large ground covered with smooth, level closely cut and well rolled turf. It is played with a hard leather ball bats made of willow wood fitted with cane hard leather ball wickets.

The English Language When the Enlish came to India they of coures brought their language with them, and it has been spoken in India, more or less for over a century and a half. At first, of course very few OIndians learnt it butnow it is half.

The Different Kinds of Artifical Lights There is no need to dwell on the blessings of artifical light for they are obvious. If we had to depend entirely on the light of the sun, half the work the world does today could be done. Probably the earliest form of artificial light was the fire, lit for warmth and cooking purpoises the was the fire must have been originally simply a burning stick taken out of the fire it was perfected when it discovered that it would burn longer and more brightly when dipped in oil or fat.      The use opf dat on the torch may have suggested the rush light which consisted simply of a rush stem, or some tow floating in a vessel of oil liquid fat. The indian chiragh is on just the same principle. Both the torch and rush light wew very imperfect the one giving off thoick clouds of smoke and the other producing only a very dimlight.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A great improvement on the rush light was the candle a wick of cotton enclosed in a pillar of hard and soildified fat but the final development of the rush light is the lamp burning a mineral oil such as kerosene and often giving a hundred candle power light.

The Condition of True Friendship Every one has a number of acquaintances but no one has many friens. For true intimate friendship is not common and there are many people who seem to be incapable of it. For a friendship to be intimate and lasting, both the friends must have some very special qualities. First comes unselfish love which is the very essence of friendship. A man who is engrossed in his own interests ans feelings may no doubt like to have an study his interests. But friendship is a two ship can last long which is all give on one side ans take on the always long which is all give on one side and all take on the other. A selfish person is incapable of true friendship. The love and service must be mutual. Constancy is another important condition of friendship. But some people are constitutionally fickle. They take up an interest with enthusiasm, but theysoon tire of it and feel the attraction of some new object. Such chargeable and uncertain people anyone. Two friends must be loyal to each other and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them.

The Benefits of Working for a Living Most of us would like to have been born with a silver spoon in our mouths. We ofter envy the man who inherits wealth, and who can therefore life of idleness and pleasure. As we have not been born to riches we sometimes hope that we may some day suddeniy become rich by a lucky tricket in a lottery not having to work for one's living.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Yet it is certainly a good thing for the community and probably a good thing for us that we cannot live without working. And in our saner moments we probly feel it is a good thing on the whole the whole that god from the first said to man in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and recognize the soundness of the apostly rule if a man will not work neither let him eat.                                                                                                                                                                                         The necessity o0f working for a living gives a man the proud spirit of independence. The beggar who lives upon alms, the parasits who attaches himself to some rich patron and earns his keep by keep by inisincere flattery are types which all right minded people pity or despise why then should we envy the idle rich who live upon the wealth produced by other and like drones in the hive produce no honey themselves.

The Advantages In A School Hostel Life in a school hostel has undoubtedly certain advantage. The boarder feels himself to be more fully a part of his school than can the dasy scholar who simply attends in the classrooms. The day boy is more like a visitor who spewnds the day in the schoo I ans thengoes home. The school day and night. He therefore enters nore to be stronger among the boarder then among the day scholars.                                                                                                                                                       The whole of the education of a school is not confined to the cladssdrooms. A very valuable part of it consists in the social life of the school , and that is almost entirely confined to the hostels.. The boys who live together in a hostel get to know each other and from friendships which may ibfluence them for the rest of their lives. They join together in all school games sharpen earpen each other wits in coversation get their angles and corners rubbed off by mixing together and enjoy all the pleasures of good comradeship.

The power of the press Modern power of the press based on spread of education. New epaper mould public option. The press through public option controls the government. The power of the press in anmy country depends on the number opf newspaper readers and this in turn dep[ends on the spresad of eduction where readers are few newsspaper must be few and can appeal directly to only a small minority of the population. In a country like England, where ever the poorest working man can read the reading population is practically the whole nation hence the large number of newspapersa and their influence on public opinion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Now the great majority of newspaper readers are uncritical. Only a few think for themselves and form their own opinions. Most accept what they read without question papers. Newspaper therefore mould public opinion. In democratic where by the system of election and repersentation the people control the government pupblis opinion is the chief power. No democratic goverment can long withstand a strong public opinion is any question. Sooner or later the government will have to yield to public opinion or be driven out office.
