DescriptionPleads for missionaries of devotion, tact and education to help promising schools at Burdwan; the opposition, both native and governmental, S. at first encountered has now disappeared; teaching in the schools would be a good way of getting to know the ways of life and thought of the natives, and they could itinerate among the nearby villages; S. can accommodate them; his other occupations prevent his giving as much time to the schools as formerly, and the need for help is urgent
