The following is the report of the school submitted by the Local Committee:

"The number of pupils at the close of the preceding year was 83, so that the present session shews an increase of 8. The value of the education obtained at the school appears to be beginning to be appreciated, as evidenced by the steady though slow increase in the number of scholars. "The only change in the educational establishment has been the resignation of Pundit Bissumber Bidyahbhoosun on the Changes. 24th February last, in whose place Rudrissur Punda has been appointed. The committee regret to have to record the death of one of their members, Babu Kasheenath Roy Chowdree, a zemindar of ability and influence. The committee have not thought it necessary at present to nominate any person in succession to him, as those most eligible, from their position and character, unfortunately reside at such distances from the station, as to deprive the committee of their advice and experience.

"The committee have the satisfaction to record that four scholars educated in the institution under their charge have obtained Government employment during the year. One of these formerly held a junior scholarship at the Hooghly College, and is now employed as a darogah, in which capacity he discharges his duties to the satisfaction of the magistrate. Another has been appointed pundit of the Pooree Vernacular School, which appointment appears to the committee to be a very advantageous one, as tending to improve the system of education in the vernacular schools, and to make more generally known the advantages derivable from the liberal education afforded in the institutions under the control of the Council of Education.

"The committee have no donations for prizes to record on this occasion: this they attribute to the fact that the most advanced scholars have left the school during the session, and previous to the annual examination. "First class, average age 17 years.

"The tabular statements furnished of the result of the examinations, do not shew a very high number of marks obtained by any scholar, but the committee are on the whole satisfied with the progress made; it will be seen that of the first class the only scholar in the first section is a candidate for a junior scholarship. Of three in the second section, Murray Xavier has obtained the highest number of marks, and, with the exception of 1 day on leave and 24 on account of sickness, has never been absent during the year. Of five in the third section, two have obtained equal marks; of these one, Raj Gopal Roy, has been absent but 1 day in the year on leave. The committee would accordingly award certificates of proficiency to these two students.

"Second class, average age 18 years and 1 month.

"In the second class Rojenath Banirjea obtained the greatest number of marks, but as he was absent without leave for 41 days, the committee think that he should forfeit his prize-and would award book prizes to J. W. D'Costa first, and Sibnath Chuckerbutty second, prize. "Third class, average age 11 years and 2 months.

"In the third class the committee would award three prizes, the first to Philip Thomas, second to Gowree Sunker Bose, and third to Chaitun Persad Sen, these three have all been very regular in attendance, and their general conduct has been satisfactory.

"Fourth class, average age 9 years and 1 month.

"In awarding prizes to the fourth class, the committee have been in a great measure guided by the regularity of attendance and master's report of diligence and good behaviour; the elementary nature of their studies rendered it impossible to distinguish, with any satisfactory degree of accuracy, the relative qualifications of the boys, when nearly all could answer questions from the books they had studied equally well.

"According to the master's report the committee would recommend the following for book prizes: E. D'Souza first, Meer Abul Hossein second, Greesh Chunder Ghose third, Annun Chatterjea fourth, A. D'Souza fifth, Surroozulhuk sixth, Gopal Chunder Ghose seventh.

"The library of the school is in good order generally; a few books require binding. The school building requires painting and whitewashing and some minor repairs, for which an estimate has been submitted by the Executive Engineer.

"The committee express an opinion that the condition and progress of the school is satisfactory, and that they have much pleasure in attributing this result to the zeal and ability with which the head master has discharged his duties, in which he has been well supported by the assistant masters and pundits."
