8. The conduct of pupils of all grades and their attendance at lectures, examinations,
and dissections, with the exceptions above noted, has been generally good. The power of stop
-ping promotion and increase of pay accorded to the Principal has continued to be most useful.
I am sorry to say; however, that some of the students were not at all times amenable to dis
-cipline. I would repeat here what I have said in previous reports, that "discipline would be
more easily maintained if sentences of dismissal could be carried out more rapidly. Dismis
-sal is really dreaded by well disposed students, and the threat of it has been found a power
-ful instrument in enforcing diligence and obedience. A considerable time however must elapse
before a recommendation for dismissal under ordinary circumstances is approved, the moral
effect is thereby weakened, and in the meantime a pupil who wishes to be dismissed, attends
the school, draws his pay, and sets a bad example by his enjoyment of idleness or by his dis-
content at what he is pleased to consider his unwarrantable detention."
9. A change has taken place in the staff of teachers since last report. In June last Babu
Nundo Lall Ghose, teacher of Materia Medica and Chemistry was transferred in the same ca
-pacity to the Bankipur Temple Medical School. Hs was succeeded by Assistant Surgeon Kali
Kissen Ghose, who joined in September last. I am glad to state that during the short time he
has been attached to to the school. he has given me much satisfaction and has shown himself
a careful and painstakin teacher. Babu Doorga Dass Roy and Jadub Kissen Ghose also
deserve my best thanks, for the careful and energetic way in which they have conducted their
duties and which has already carried for them the commendation of the Chief Commissioner.
The former has been appointed to the Dacca school, and be has lately left to join his appoint
-ment, and his successor, Assistant Surgeon Jadoo Nath Ghose, has arrived. In consequence of
this change, I recommended a redistribution of the duties of the teachers, which has received
the sanction of the Surgeon General. Assistant Surgeon Jadub Kissen Ghose has hitherto
borne more than his fair share of work, having had to teach two subjects, Anatomy and Sur
-gery, while holding executive charge of the Mayo Memorial Hospital. He has now been ap
-pointed teacher of Medicine, for which he is eminently fitted, and Assistant Surgeon Jadoo
Nath Ghose becomes teacher of Surgery and Anatomy. By this arrangement Jadub Kissen
Ghose is relieved of half his original lecture work, and is able to give a greater amount of time
to the care of the hospital and clinical teaching. Hospital Assistant Dillawar Khan has con
-tinued to be useful as a Demonstrator and Librarian. He has also left for Raipur and in his
place a promising passed student of this year, Abdul Kurreem Khan, has been appointed.
10. The general working and progress of the school has been satisfactory.
11. Babu Doorga Dass Roy reports the general conduct of his class to have been good
and its progress fair. The number of lectures on medicine given by him was 115, and he held
44 weekly examinations, clinical instruction was also constantly given.
12. Babu Jadub Kissen Ghose lectured 106 times and held 34 examinations in Surgery;
on Anatomy he lectured 81 times and held 19 examinations. In all therefore he delivered
187 lectures and held 53 examinations. Under his superintendence and with the assistance
of Hospital Assistant Dillawar Khan, dissections were carried on during the cold season. There
was a great dearth of subjects last year. 7 bodies were dissected, and the Babu speaks highly
of the efficient assistance he received from student Rajaram as prosector and monitor to the
junior students. The students generally have dissected diligently, and nothing has been heard
of prejudice against anatomical pursuits.
13. Babu Kali Kissen Ghose gave 180 lectures on Materia Medica and 33 on Che
-mistry, inclusive of examinations. His class, with exception of the pupils dismissed for in
-competence and idleness, was attentive, diligent, and respectful in demeanour.
14. RESULT OF EXAMINATIONS.—During the months of March and April a general ex

lifted, and awarding prizes to the most deserving of all classes. This terminated on the 30th
of April, with satisfactory results.
Twelve students had completed the full term of study, and all were found sufficiently
qualified.
