j ve years of close association with the Rajkuman College,
Raipur, | beth as ; member of the general council and of the managing com-
mittee and also as the official guardian of many.of the kumars on the college
roll. I have been in a position to form an intimate acquaintance with the
work of the college and can testify to its excellencé. As.I observed in my
note of last year, the’ educational ‘standard is high, and the very: marked
all round improvementwin the quality of rulers of states'and of other: bi
landholders in the ‘Central Provinces agency:and khalsa, and, as I also-believe
to be the case, in Bihar and:Orissa, which ‘has been such a noticeable feature
of recent years, is in no small part due to the beneficent effects:of: the training
received at the Rajkumar College, Raipur. The college roll is at present
only 44, while the tull capacity is about 65, and there is an urgent necessity
for more boys in order that the work of the college may be carried on in the
best manner possible. If all or at any rate a large percentage of the kumars
available in the Orissa states could be sent to the college, the problem of
numbers would be solved. I sincerely hope that this will be’ achieved in the
near future.
A specially interesting development which .the Principal proposes to
bring about from the beginning of the next college year is the inclusion of
a scheme of practical training in thé elements of ‘agriculture.
