H 15. In my- opinion’ the Principal’s concurrence to the: appointment of
private guardians to boys at Mayo Collego.should be invariably required,
and due consideration should be paid to the-acadomic qualifications of such
private guardians at the time of their selection. At present it cannot be said
that the competence ofthe English guardians to impart instruction is in any
way adequate, except in the teaching of English. |
16. LtrustI may be allowed tc express the hope that the Political
Dopartment of the Government of India willcontinue to take a keonand active
intorost in the welfare of this institution. In this connection the appointment
of a Political Officer as a member of the Governing Council should not in any
circumstances be allowed to lapse into a casual formality. ‘The officer so
appointed should be as senior as may be possible, and selected with a view
to the length of time in which he will retain the appointment and will enable
him to remain a momber of the General Council.
17. I have e very cloar sense of the great improvements which Mr.
Stow has succeeded in effecting in the short time he has been in his present
post, The tone of the College is quite remarkable and any visitor to the
College leaves with an acute sense of the esprit dé corps and pleasant atmos-
phere which pervade the whole College.

RAJKUMAR COLLEGE, RATPUR.
I visited Rajkumar College, Raipur, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
15th, 16th and 17th March 1934. Mr. J. Bowstead was associated with the
inspection in his capacity as a political officer. Our task of inspeation was
much facilitated by the statistical and other information which had been
prepared by Mr. T. L. H. Smith-Pearse, the Principal:
2. The College is fortunate in its -buildings, which escape the grandeur
and, extravagance.of buildings.elsewhere ; they are well adapted to educational
requizements and are capable of easy expansion. The class rooms are bright
and airy ; most of them could accommodate a larger number of pupils then
they do at present,
The equipment is generally satisfactory. Much use is made-of Railway
posters which ara not merely an adornment, but also a happy means of
widening the mental horizon of the pupils. Recent additions have been an
epidiascopo, a short and long wave wireless receiving sat and four educational
cinoma films, which were purchased from a gift of Rs. 2,000 by the Maharaja
of Sarguja in.commemoration of the recent visit of Their Excellencies the
Viceroy and Lady Willingdon.
The boarding houses (which are also located in the main building) are
also’ well-designod and are capable of expansion. The bed rooms or.dor-
mitories are generally satisfactory, but are congested by numberless boxes
and trunks belonging to the boys. Ifa larger number of wall almirahs and
hanging cupboards could be constructed, not only would the tidiness.of the
rooms be improved but more accommodation -would become available. The
rooms are of.sufficient size to.accommodate five or six boys in each.
‘Another favourable feature.of the buildings is their compactness, which is
-helpful .both to the maintenance of.good discipline and'to the -nipening of
corporate unity. .
8. The staff consists mainly of the Principal, Vice-Principal.and seven
masters, There are also’two house masters, whose:duties are confined almost
ontirely to the boarding -hauses,; and two assistant house-masters.who,perform
half-time duties in the.class-rooms, :
