tenant Governor Of Punjab admitted in a
recent address in Patiala that the educa-
tiou Of native chiefs of India had not thus
far been crowned with success, he also
added his reasons for the failure In the
first place. he said that it was because the
State authorities never would accept undi-
yided responsibility; and. secondly. be-
cause the march OF events and the change
Of modern ideas rendered it necessary
that those destined to be rulers and lead
ers should be qualified to deal not only
with questions Of passing age: but also
with those of the present and the future
not only with the science of government
as known to an Akbar, but with the de-

maintained to the utmost.

and a fellow officer named Watson were
ont riding, when Roberts greyhound
started an antelope. and the next moment

f! some distance a band of Sepoy troopers
riding toward them. Checking and turn
