Bombay.
4, Staff—A staff list is enclosed. There are no Government servants
on deputation to the School. All the members of the staff are engaged on
contract. The School is therefore saving now what it spent on leave and
pension contributions for Government servants. Four masters joined the
School on Gth January 1939.
In this connection I should like to call attention to the following
extract from last year’s inspection report :—
“None of the members of the Indian staff are resident except one
‘Wing Master’. A resident school should have a resident
staff. “Without such a staff effective supervision and associa-
tion in games and other ex-class room activities become
difficult. I repeat the suggestion of my predecessor that the
College would be well advised to erect quarters both for
married and single masters on or nest the estate and charge
an economic rent. The income from the rent will more than
pay interest charges. Conditions of service would become
more attractive and in the words of my predecessor the life
of the College would be enriched.’’.
Tf this School is really to become a Public School in the accepted sense
effect should he given as soon as possible to my predecessor’s recommenda-
tion. .
A Froebel-trained lady teacher has been engnged to teach the sinalF
boys and new masters have been appointed for Geography, Gujarati,
Botany and Biology. Physical training has been put on a proper hasis.
I cordially welcome these developments as well as the introduction of more
practicsl work in the way of carpentry. I should like one day to see a
school farm though this would mean obtaining Innd elsewhere as there
is no room on the present limited site.
5. Fees.—An inclusive rate of Rs. 1,300 per annum for boys of all
ages and Rs. 1,200 for any younger brother studying at the School at the
same time is Jevied. This is in accordance with the suggestion made in
the last year’s inspection report.
6. Number on roll.—The number of kumars on rolls for the last six
years is given below :—

The nuinber of boys at the time of my inspection was 35. Adequate .
accommodation exists for about 80—100 boys and an increase to this number
should involve little additional expenditure.
