boys should be made to do original work as early as possible, The practice
of writing in text-books is undesirable; underlining is more useful.
In Mathematics the teaching was on the right lines and the work of the
kumars quite fair but 1 am inclined to think that they should be encouraged
to do more for themselves. Care should be taken to see that in the higher
classes arithmetic is not neglected. I suggest that regular tests, against
time, should be given in this branch of the subject. As for mental arithmetic,
I am of opinion that all tests should be conducted orally; questions should not
be written on the black-board.
Vernaculars.—The teaching of the vernaculars was on the whole quite
fair but sometimes lacked life. I think that more written work might be
done. In some classes the reading was too monotonous. It is a pity that
only three boys in two classes take Sanskrit. They are doing good work.
I was glad to hear that regular drill in the language is given.
The following statements show in detail the languages spoken by the
kumars in their homes and the languages taken by then in the college A

_Science,—Science teaching was-good. The boys were interested in the
subject and understood what they were doing. It is a good thing to have
meteorological records kept by the boys and I hope tat they will be encouraged
to make an intelligent use of them.’ I have suggested to the Science Master
that it might be well to put up a table of constants in the laboratory. It might
be well also to sell the apparatus which is never used. .
Geography.—I discussed several points with the master in charge of
geography. There is much lee-way to be made up throughout the college
