per cent).
The statement " D " attached to the report shows the Receipts and
Expenditure during the year. There is an increase in both Receipt and
Expenditure. The increase under Receipts is mainly due to increased
tuition fees received and the increase under Expenditure, is mainly due
to increased expenditure under Supply and Services and Contingencies.
The cost to Government per student per annum in the school has
been calculated on the same basis as was done in the previous year.
The hostel arrangement for the male and female students is the same
as it was in the previous year.
The proposal to transfer the school from Rangoon to Mandalay is
under consideration of Government. Mr. Purcell, O.B.E., of Mandalay
has very kindly promised a donation of Rs. 2½ lakhs for the purpose.
Thanks are due to him for his generous offer in addition to his various
donations he has already given towards improvements in the Medical
Department.
Lieutenant-Colonel R. V. Morrison, M.D., F.R.C.P. (Edin.), I.M.S.,
was Superintendent and Dr. W. Chit Tun, B.Sc., M.B. (Cal.) was
the hostel master of the School throughout the year (1937-38).
Thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, I.M.S. and
Dr. Chit Tun and also to the other members of the staff of the school
for the able manner in which they discharged their duties during the
year under review.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
N. S. SODHI, Colonel, I.M.S.,
