Excerpt from History of Education in the Madras Presidency
This is the first attempt that has been made to present to the public a continuous history of educational operations in the Madras Presidency. In 1854, Sir Alexander Arbuthnot gave a brief narrative of the efforts that had been made by the Government of Madras for the extension and advancement of education in this Presidency; but these efforts, as will be seen, were fitful and spasmodic and wanting in continuity. In 1884 there was issued, under the authority of the Education Commission, a statement of the Progress of Education in the Madras Presidency from 1854 to 1881. This statement, though dealing with important measures from time to time introduced by Government, does not claim to be a history of education the information given in it being meagre and mainly statistical in character.
In the compilation of the work I have had access to original records and reports kindly placed at my service by the Director of Public Instruction.
