16. A prize of Rs. 15 for standing first in Anatomy at
the Intermediate examination of April 1927.
17. A prize of Rs. 15 for standing first in Materia
Medica.
Mr. B. Sarin.
10. Examinations. —Examinations were held in October 1927 for the
students who were unsuccessful in April, and had been remanded for
six months.
Intermediate Examination.—As one of the remanded students left
the school, 12 remanded students appeared in October, when 9 passed
and 3 (2 public and 1 private) students failed. The failures were
remanded for a further period of six months.
Final Examination.— As one of the remanded students was granted
leave for six months, 16 remanded students and 5 other students
appeared in October, when 13 passed and 8 failed (5 public and 3
private). The students who failed were remanded for a further period
of six months.
Third Year Promotion
Examination.— No examination is prescribed
by the Examination Board for third year students. A promotion
examination is however held twice a year by the school. This is more
or less in the nature of a class examination, and is conducted by the
teachers in the various subjects. Failure in this is penalized in a manner
similar to failure in the other examinations. In October 11 third year
students who had been unsuccessful in the March examination were
re-examined. Ten passed. The solitary unsuccessful candidate was
remanded for a further period of six months.
Nineteen students appeared for the Promotion Examination in
March 1928. Ten (8 public, 1 special-private and 1 private students) failed
to satisfy the Examiners and were remanded for six months.
Examinations—April 1928.—The usual examinations were held at
the end of the session .
Primary Examination.— As one of the students K. P. Chowdhury
was exempted under Rule 37 (2) of the Burma Medical Examination
Board Rules, 34 students sat for the examination. Twenty-four passed.
Ten students (7 public, 2 special-private and 1 Maung Ohn Ghine
Scholar) failed and were remanded for a period of six months.
As already pointed out these students were somewhat handicapped
by having been admitted to the school a month and a half late.
Intermediate Examination.—Three remanded students appeared
and all passed.
Final Examination.- 37 candidates sat for the April examination
17 passed, and 20 (9 public, 2 special-private, 8 private and 1 student
from the Andamans) failed. The failures were remanded for a period
of six months.

Major W. H. Passanha, I.M.D., was Assistant Lecturer and Hostel

U Ba Than, M.B., was appointed Assistant Lecturer in place of
Mr. H. Min Sein, M.B., from the 5th September 1927. Mr. D. R. Lewis,
M.B., relieved U Ba Than, M.B., of his duties of Assistant Lecturer on
the 2nd February 1928.
My thanks are due to the Lecturers, Assistant Lecturers and other
staff who carried out their duties with keenness and energy.
GOVT. MEDICAL SCHOOL, RANGOON, FOR THE YEAR 1927-28.
13. General Remarks.— The passed third year students underwent
their practical training in Midwifery at the Dufferin Hospital, Rangoon.
In-door and out-door games were zealously played by the students.
They competed with success in Football, Tennis, Hockey and the Annual
Athletic Sports of the Burma Athletic Association.
The fourth year students won the Inter-year Stretcher Drill Shield
and Medals, and the third year students the Squad Drill Shield and
Medals.
The students took an active part in The Annual Health Week
Exhibition this year also. Much zeal and energy were displayed by
them, which was well appreciated by all who witnessed the show.
As has been stated above the general tone of the school as regards
application to work, has not, in the last two terms been as high as might
be desired. The reasons for this have been discussed already. As these
reasons are no longer operative a speedy return to a more normal state
in this respect may confidently be expected.
There are no other points that call for special remark.

THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BURMA,
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
Dated Rangoon, the 21st May 1929.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report
of the working of the Burma Government Medical School, Rangoon, for
the year 1928-29.
The School Sessions opened on the 16th July 1928 with 83 students
on the rolls. 54 students were newly admitted; of these 25 were Public,
15 Special Private, 12 Private, and one Scholarship-holder from
Andaman Islands; one student was admitted to the third-year class as
a private student in January 1929. These possessed the required
educational qualifications and three of them had passed the Intermediate
of Science Examination.
The buildings are in the same state of disrepair pointed out last year.
The receipts during the year amounted to Rs. 3,073-5-6 and
the expenditure to Rs. 72,740-5-3 as against Rs. 2,967-13-6 and
Rs. 61,849-10-9 respectively in the previous year. The slight increase
of expenditure was under "Allowances to the Superintendent; Salary of
Establishment; Stipends to Students; and under Contingencies."
The discipline at the school was well maintained. It is reported
that the conduct and health of the students were satisfactory.
The students took a keen interest in both in-door and out-door games,
so much so the School Team won the Senior League Second Division
Football Competition in the Burma Athletic Association.
The active part taken by the Medical Students in the Annual Health
Week Exhibition in demonstrating how things should and should not be
was much appreciated.
Lieutenant-Colonel T. F. Owens, I.M.S., was in charge of the school
throughout the year and Major W. H. Passanha, I.M.D., continued to
be the Assistant Lecturer and Hostel Master.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
H. A. WILLIAMS, Lieut.-Colonel, I.M.S.,
Offg. Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Burma.
