carried out in the Medical College buildings : but the Hostel still
remains in the old General Hospital buildings.

expenditure of the School.

Hospital buildings. They are old and dilapidated. A new Hostel
which could accommodate both the School and College students would

Rs. 17,741-8-3 (19,750-15-9) and the expenditure was Rs. 16,878-6-3

Lieutenant-Colonel L. A. Hoclgkinson Lack, I.M.S., late Superintendent
and Lecturer in Anatomy. Both these officers were outstanding
teachers and their deaths have been an irreparable loss to the School.
Dr. Tha Mya, M.B., was Assistant Lecturer and Hostel-Master
during the year under report.
My thanks are due to the Lecturers, Assistant Lecturers, Demon
-strators and other members of the staff who carried out their duties.
with keenness and energy.
15. General remarks.—The usual course of training in practical
Midwifery was given at the Dufferin Hospital, Rangoon.
The standard of teaching in the subjects of Anatomy and Physiology
has been maintained during the year under report. Pathology has now
been made a compulsory subject in the Final Part I Examination.
Biology was re-introduced in the first year class and an annual test was
held. The lectures were given by Dr. Sunclarain Pillai,
Demonstrator in the Pathology Department, Medical College, in an
honorary capacity.
Both indoor and outdoor games were well supported by the students
who competed in foot-ball and tennis at the Burma Athletic
Association.
The second year students won the Inter-year Foot-ball Shield of the
School.
The students were given a course of instruction in squad drill and
stretcher bearer drill. It is proposed to reorganize this section and
introduce physical training, gymnastics, boxing, etc., for which purpose
the gymnasium will be refitted. A competent instructor has been
engaged and Major H. Aung Khin, I.M.S., has kindly promised to
supervise outdoor and indoor sports and games. It is hoped that in
consequence much improvement will be shown during the coming
year.

FROM
LIEUTENANT-COLONEL N. S. SODHI, M.C., I.M.S.,
Of f g. Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Burma,
TO
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BURMA,
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
Dated Rangoon, the 20th May 1935.
SIR,
In forwarding herewith the Annual Report of the Superin-
tendent. Burma Government Medical School, on the working of the
Burma Government Medical School for the year ending the 31st March
1935, I have the honour to make the following comments :
In accordance with Local Government's orders there was no
recruitment of public and special private students. Only private
students (35) were therefore admitted at the commencement of the
summer session under report. In addition to this number, two
students from the Andamans were also admitted. All the newly-
admitted students possessed the required educational qualifications.
Including the new entrants, the total number of students at the
commencement of the session was 168 (172) of which 60 (43) passed
out or left the school during the year leaving 108 (129) students on the
rolls at the end of the year.
Of the 168 students on the rolls at the beginning of the summer
session 139 were males and 29 females. Of these, i.e , 168 students, the
proportion of "Burmese" students in the year under review both male
and female was 52 per cent as compared with 53 per cent last year and
42 per cent in the year before.
The standard of teaching was satisfactorily maintained, but the
necessity for the extension of the entire course still continues to be felt,
and it is to be hoped that a definite decision in regard to the reorgani-
zation of studies in the Medical School will have been arrived at before
the commencement of the summer session in 1937.
Examinations were held as usual in September and March during the
year. In the Primary Examination at the end of the first year 19 passed
out of 24 (79 per cent), in the Intermediate Examination 21 passed out
of 41 (51 per cent), in Part I of the Final Examination 18 passed out
of 25 (72 per cent), and in the Final Examination, Part II, 35 passed out
of 65 (54 per cent) as compared with 41 per cent in the previous year.
These results may be regarded as being good all round, and a general
improvement on last year's results.
It will be observed from the income and expenditure statement
(Statement D) attached to the Annual Report of the school, that there
was an appreciable increase under "Receipts", and a reduction under
( i i )
"Expenditure". The main reason for the increase (Rs. 1,966-5-6)
under " Receipts " was the enhancement of tuition fees, and for the
reduction (Rs. 21,035-5-3) in "Expenditure" to (1) the abolition of the
grant of stipends to students and (2) on account of allowances to
Lecturers. The increase in tuition fees will continue to grow and so
will the reduction in expenditure as new entrants are recruited as
private students only.
Hostel .—The teaching continued to be conducted in the Medical
College, but the Hostel was as usual accommodated in the old General
Hospital buildings. As stated before a new Hostel both for male and
female students is urgently required, but with the present state of the
Provincial Exchequer, the prospect of the scheme becoming an accom-
plished fact does not look very hopeful. However, in so far as the
female students are concerned, who have no Hostel whatsoever, a
scheme to temporarily tide over the difficulty is being examined and if
found to be feasible will be submitted to Government.
Games and Athletics.—The school football team is to be con-
gratulated on standing second in the Junior League First Division of
the Burma Athletic Association Competition.
The Gymnasium in the Medical School Hostel has been re-equipped
at the expense of the Hostel Fund and a competent Instructor in
Physical Training, Gymnastics and Boxing has been engaged. To
Lieutenant-Colonel H. Aung Khin, M.B., Ch.B. (Edin.), F.R.C.S.E.,
I.M.S., acknowledgment is due for having not only supervised but for
having taken a keen interest in the sports and games of the school.
First Aid and St. John's Ambulance Brigade .—Instructions in First
Aid were given by Lieut.-Colonel H. Aung Khin, M.B., Ch.B. (Edin.),
F . R. C. S . E. , I . M. S . , t o t h e s e c o n d - y e a r s t u d e n t s a n d o u t o f t h e 2 0 s t u d e n t s
examined by the St. John's Ambulance Association, Burma Branch, all
passed. Great credit is due for this to Lieutenant-Colonel Aung Khin,
I.M.S., who also is in command of a division of St. John's Ambulance
Brigade formed during the year under review.
Lieutenant-Colonel R V. Morrison, M.D., F.R.C.P.E., I.M.S., was
in charge of the school for the whole year under review except for a
few days towards the end of March 1935, when he proceeded on leave.
I desire to place on record the able and the efficient manner in which
both he and Dr. Tha Mya, M.B., the Assistant Superintendent and
Hostel Master, carried out their respective duties, especially in
connection with an attempt on the part of a very small section of the
school students who unsuccessfully endeavoured to break up the
discipline of the school.
I extend my sincere thanks also to the Lecturers and to the other
members of the staff for the able manner in which they performed
their respective duties.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
