RAJKUMAR COLLEGE, RAJKOT.
(Now the Kathiawar Public School.)
I inspected the Kathiawar Public School, Rajkot, on the 4th and 5th
February 1939. Lieut. Col. ©. K. Daly, Political Agent, Western
Kathiawar Agency, was associated with me in the inspection of the School.
It was not my intention at my first visit to do more than make the
acquaintance of the staff, see something of the boys and envisage at first
hand the main problems which have to be faced in the immediate future.
No detailed inspection of the School work was undertaken; this will be
arranged as soon as the new scheme has been sufficiently long in operation
to make it worth while.
2. Organisation.—During the year the Rajkumar College, Rajkot,
has been converted into the Kathiawar Public School, and it will be run
in future on the lines of an English Public School, admission being no
longer restricted to kumars from the neighbouring States as hitherto. The
Management of the School, however, remains the same. The new system
came into operation on the 4th January 1939. The School is divided into
two sections, a Junior School and a Senior School. the minimum age for
admission being six. A boy between 6 and 11 will enter the Junior School
and promotion to the Senior School will take place normally at eleven.
3. Finance.—The budget estimate for the year 1989-40 has been
prepared on the basis of forty boys, and amounts to Rs. 1,09,266. The
chief items of receipts are as follows :—
Rs,
Inclusive fees. . . . . . . . . . 61,400
Interest on Endowment Fund . . . . . . . 41,000
Voluntary contribution from Falo paying States . . . Hi 15,843
avhile the chief items of expenditure are :—
Ra.
Salaries of the staff. . . . . . . . . 9,209
Kitchen expenses + 8 «© 8 8 . 6 15,180
As the actual number of boys in the School at the time of my inspection
was only 35, there will be a decrease under the head ‘‘Fees’’, unless as is
hoped there are more entries at the beginning of the first full term in
duly.
I understand that the States have agreed to contribute to the School
on the above basis for three years only in the expectation that the number
pn the roll will have increased to 80 by that time, ‘With this number the
School should become self-supporting.
The credit and debit balances over the year’s working for the last five
years are given below :—
