As for the boys themselves I enjoyed meeting them. Discipline is
satisfactory and their manners are good. I realise that their day is a full
one but I am sorry that various school activities have languished, such as
scouting and the cadet corps. I should also like to see a school magazine.
it is an excellent way of keeping in touch with old boys. I understand that
something is done to keep a record of the future careers of old boys. There
is also a tennis club in the college grounds to which they come. There are
some prefects in the college but no captain. The Principal informs me that
boys do not like taking responsibility. The drill which I saw was quite
satisfactory. Tennis, Hockey, Football and Cricket are all played and all
boys learn to ride. Water-polo is also played. The general health of the
boys is excellent.
‘ F. K. CLARK,
Educational Commissioner
with the Government of India.
Dated the 14th January 1933.
1, In accordance with the orders of the Hon'ble the Agent to the Gover-
nor General I met Mr. F. K. Clark, M.A., the Educational Commissioner
with the Government of India, on the first day of the annual inspection of
the Aitchison College, Lahore. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. Kelly, the
Principal, I was enabled to visit the College on the 18th of January. Mr.

At present there are seven relatives of the Chiefs of this Agency studying
at the College, and in addition one other resident of state in this Agency.
‘Although it is not possible to obtain accurate figures of the number of boys
who are relatives of the Rulers of States in this Agency and who are of the
right age to enter the College, it is apparent that the figures given in Mr.
* Kelly’s statement, appended to this note, form a small percentage of the
number of boys who might be studying at the College. The minor Maharaja
of Nabha and the sons of the Maharaja of Jind (who ore studying at the
Mayo College, Ajmer,) and the son of the Raja of Mandi (who is being
prepared for the Prince of Wales’ College, Dehra Dun) ee prominent: cases
in which the Lahore College has not heen patronised, There are in addition
to those already mentioned six boys who are the relatives of Rulers of States
outside this Agency. Two-thirds of the pupils from the States are studying
jn the three higher classes, and it is noticeable that the percentage of State
