staff. A cinema machine was presented by the heir-apparent
mite TRbairpar Murs (Sind) on his leaving the college. I hope that more
use will be made not only of this machine but also of the excellent apparatus
in the electrical room. There is also a good Magazine in the writing of which
some of the boys take an active part.
Some definite progress towards the institution of common messes and
the reduction in the number of servants has to be recorded. It has not yet,
however, been found possible to group boys in houses according to age.
There are five monitors but, this year, no captain of the school. There is
at present a certain diffidence felt by the boys in undertaking responsibility.
The tone and discipline of the place are distinctly satisfactory; more-
over all the boys struck me as being happy and contented, I have discussed
with the Principal the possibility of doing away with the Nature Study and
Drawing classes in which the boys take little interest and substituting some
leisure time in which boys can take up such subjects as manual training and
hobbies of various kinds.
A start has been made with First Aid; other hobbies for which, I under-
stand, the Principal hopes to provide facilities are photography, gardening,
carpentry and motor repairs.
It was a great pleasure to me to visit the college. There is plenty of
ood material here and I am sure that the Principal and staff will make the
est use of it. Very wisely he is not attempting to do too much at once, but
I am convinced that in a few years—it cannot be done in less—it will be a
model institution.

I have again been associated with the Educational Commissioner with
the Government of India in the yearly inspection of the Mayo College,
and have very little to add to the remarks I made last year. The college
seems to be definitely on the up grade. The numbers havé gone up in the
past year and seem likely to continue to do so. Apart from this I have come
across other indications that the material improvement in discipline and in
general supervision is being appreciated by parents.
_, There ate other hopeful signs. The Mewar Sirdars have expressed a
wish that the boys in the Udaipur House should have their meals in a common
dining room, while the boys from Bharatpur, Bundi, Jaipur and Tonk not
only have common dining rooms in their respective houses but also have common
catering arrangements, The Mewar Sirdare have also voted for a common
house tutor to take the place of a multiplicity of private tutors, and similarly
throughout the College the number of private tutors has been reduced
appreciably,
__ The College and grounds are well kept and cared for and the general
impression received in regard to the whole-administration of the College
is one of enthusiasm and efficiency. .
Last year I expressed the opinion that within the limits prescribed by
fmancial considerations the College was fulfilling its primary function in
regard to the training of future Rulers of Indian States and others who would
exercise an influence on their progress and development. This yeer again I
am glad to be able to endorse that opinion.
