The school here mentioned, having, by Deed, bearing date Oct. 21, 1818, been legally placed under the control of the Calcutta Committee of the Church Missionary Society and their successors, Mr. Corrie was requested by Joy Narain to draw up, in English, a detailed statement of the plan and objects contemplated by the school. A draft of the statement was, in the first instance, [11th Nov. 1818.] submitted by Mr. Corrie to the Agent of the Government at Benares, and was afterwards translated into several of the languages of the country, and circulated among the natives of India. As illustrative of a remarkable moral movement, towards the maturing of which the subject of these memoirs materially contributed, the document is too important to be omitted. “The following statement of the object and plan of the Institution, is published, with a view to engage such support as may enable the managers to extend to the utmost the benefits it is intended to convey. “1. In this school, four languages are taught, viz. English, Persian, Hindoostanee and Bengalee. “2. For the purpose of affording instruction in these languages, an English master, as superintendent of the Institution, is engaged; proper assistance and learned teachers in the other languages respectively, are also retained. “3. It is intended to maintain, as well as educate, a number of poor boys, who are to be accommodated in the house, as soon as proper arrangements can be made, and a small daily allowance will be made to such poor boys as cannot be received into the house, to such extent as the funds may admit of. “4. The benefits of the Institution to be at the same time open to all who are desirous of availing themselves of them, without regard to caste or country; and for this purpose, teachers, paper, pens and ink, will be provided gratis, for all the scholars; it being left to the option of such parents as can afford to pay for their children’s education, to contribute at their pleasure to the general expenses of the school, and thereby to extend the benefits of it further to the poor. “5. The primary design of teaching the above languages being, to enable industrious youths to obtain for themselves a comfortable livelihood, the first care will be to instruct the scholars in reading and writing grammatically, and in the most necessary rules of arithmetic; together with the government regulations on the subjects of police, and ordinary affairs: after which such youths as desire further improvement, may be instructed in general history, geography, and astronomy.
