seopy-writing was being done but.boys were not shown how to hold the pen
oes and Trost of them were using the wrong kind of nib.
History.--The method adopted for teaching history was, on the whole,
sound, but there should be continual revision and more map work. Correla-
tion of history and geography should be continually borne in mind. In the
upper classes*frequent test papers are desirable. In English history care
should be taken to stick to essentials: - It would be well for the master in
charge to look at the copy books of the boys occasionally as those I saw were
full of mistakes. I was glad to hear that a detailed syllabus for the whole
school is being worked out.
Geography.—The master in charge of geography seems to know his work.
but he finds it very difficult to get much ont of boys in the upper classes. The
teaching throughout should be casual and comparative. Much more use should
be made of physical maps. In this subject, too, a detailed syllabus covering
the work of the whole college is necessary. This is being prepared.
Vernacular.—In vernacular the work of teaching struck me as bein;
monotonous throughout. More written translation work is necessary an
much more written composition.
The vernaculars taken at the college and spoken by kumars in their homes
