. inations.—The percentage of the kumars passing in the High
School Tenmination of the iHajputana, Central India and Gwalior Board

This year the college has sent up three candidates,
The Principal is considering the desirability of reverting to the Diploma
Examination as, in his opinion, that examination is more suited to the needs
of his pupils. In this I am in agreement with him.
12. Library.—The books in the library are being recatalogued on the
Dowey decimal system and useless books are being eliminated. <A definite
attempt is being made to encourage boys to read more and though the results
are not yet very striking, quite a number of boys are reading more than the
did, especially as far as books in the vernacular are concerned. I thin
that the experiment of allotting definite periods for reading, especially during
the rains, might be tried again, particular attention being paid to the
smaller boys.
13. Nature study.—Kumars make experiments in plant cultivation and a
nature study garden has been made behind the Science Laboratory under the
supervision of Mr. Patwardhan. Another experiment has been made to
utilise all the waste matter from the college stables, gardens, kitchens, etc.,
for the formation of manure to be used in the college gardens, I am parti-
cularly interested in the plans which are being made for teaching agriculture
and for a more useful and practical syllabus in Science. The energy and
enthusiasm of the teacher are the best augury for the success of the
experiment.
As at my last visit, the smaller boys were full of keenness for what they
were doing and seemed to understand very well what they had been tanght.
14. -Atheleties.—Mockey and cricket are the chief team games. Squash
Racquets is also played, as well as tennis, basket ball and volley ball. Atten-
tion is also given to field sports and gymnastics, A certain number of kumars+
ride. There was a tournament with Mayo College and an atheletic competi-
tion with the 1st Battalion of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment.
Scout games are played by the smaller boys with considerable enthusiasm,
It has been decided to apply part of the money subscribed towards the
Fanshawe Fund to the construction of two Squash Racquet courts and part
towards the re-erection of the Dewas pavilion on the Fanshawe ground. A
miniature rifle range is also to be made during the ensuing holidays, the
necessary funds having been subscribed by the old boys.
The following is a statement of the vernaculars spoken by the kumars in
