In his last report my predecessor remarks :—
“I feel sure that efforts to increase the rol] will continue until there
are at ledst 120 boys on‘it. For this number no additional
class-room or playing accommodation or staff will be neces-
sary (unless new sibjects are introduced or the teaching of
certain subjects is strengthened)’’.

restriction on the admission of non-kumars with this objeot in view.

agt yl jbe seen that there is a considerable difference in the size of classes
, and an ujnisually, wide age-range in some of them. In the ordinary course
iit is not desirable to have Loys of 17 nnd 18 in the same class as boys of 11
