The Educational Services.

THE Government of India in the Education Department, in putting forward their alternative scheme for the consideration of the Local Governments, suggested that, "in view of the importance which His Majesty's Secretary of State attached to the early submission of proposals in regard to the Department of Education, it might be desirable, with a view to expediting matters, to appoint a strong provincial committee, on which influential Indian opinion should be represented, to consider and report to the local Government upon the proposals dealt with in this letter." The Government of India also stated that they "desire to elicit public opinion to the fullest extent upon the subject of the educational services which has long attracted widespread interest." The Punjab Government will be shortly appointing such a Committee to consider the alternative scheme and to elicit public opinion on the same. As regards the personnel of such a Committee, we desire to make certain suggestions for the consideration of the Government.
