JHUMAN LAL. Our Correspondent's views so far as they go, have our entire approbation. Froin the point of view of economy, practicability, and utility they seem to be unexception. able. Also it may be easier for the promoters of the college scheme to reconsider their position in the light of the remarks inade by B. Jhuman Lall, as the climate of Sabaranpur las suited the constitution of the Mahavidyalaya very badly and it has resorted to a change of air in some more agreeable land. Our young Mahavidyalya is evidently imbued by the spirited saying:
زندگي بھي گر رهي تر نوجوانی پھر دهان
*
سیر کر دنیا کی غال زندگاني پھر کھان
• While at this, we cannot refrain from inviting the attention ot Pandit Gopal Das Bariya and people of his ilk to the generally sober and reasonable attitude of the English-knowing Jainas to the college scheme. In view of what the Jaina Gazette has been proclaiming and B A.'s and M. A.'s in any nuinber have been saying on the platform and on the prese, it is monstrous to urge that the English knowing Jainas are enemies of Sanskrit education and hopelessly in love with the scheme of a Central Jaina College. Exciternent is bad always; but when it disturbs the mental calin of our public workers, and distorts their vision of the true condition of things, it means ruin to the cause of the community. We would be glad to publish further relevant correspondence on this question-Editor.

THE JEWAR JAINA TEMPLE. Sir,
Will you be good enough to give following a place in your esteemed paper :
Jewar is a small town in the district of Bulandshahar at about 16 miles from the Khurja Ry. Station. There is a Chuity,la and about twenty Jaina families reside there. Five or six years ago the Jainas of the place thought of building a Sikharband Jaina temple in the place of the Chaityula. As the space where the Cnuityula now stands was insufficient, a plot of ground on the road-side at the end of the southern bazar was purchased for the purpose. The work Wils started till all the inoney in cash was finished. The donors and the debtors refused to pay their liabilities and the building work canie to a stand still. Some of them are well-to-do people and if they pay what they owe to the temple the work could very well be taken up again. May I request the Jainas of Khurja to ask L. Pyrey Lal to pay up the donation that his father L. Bansidhar promised towards the temple fund. The Bombay Jainas are also requested to move L. Lalji Mal who is now-8days the owner of L. Chaju Rain's shop at the Byculla Station Bombay to pily his dents and thus 10 gave the unnecessary expenses of the court. In the end he Mahasabha and the J. Y. M. A. are requested to send an Updesh k lottiake the people feel the duty of keeping their words.
Yours truly,
B. N. JAINI,
Darakshan.
