by the Teacher of Materia Medica, at which attended all the students of the 3rd and
2nd year, as well as 12 superintendents of vaccination, 44 vaccinators and 1 com--
pounder (a volunteer from Sambalpur); these vaccinators were from every district
in the Province, and at the end of the course in August were examined by means
of written answers to a series of questions. Ten superintendents, 37 vaccinators
and 1 compounder received certificates of proficiency, 14 in the first, 18 in the
second, and 16 in the third class.
All these have a very fair knowledge of Hygiene and should be able to give
good advice to their countrymen, as well as afford intelligent assistance to the
health officers under whom they may serve at any time.
Two superintendents and nine vaccinators failed to pass a satisfactory exam-
-ination.
The students of the school had questions on Hygiene included in their
examination papers at the end of the session.
10. The general examination for the year lasted from 4th March to 25th
March, all the pupils writing answers to a number of questions on all the subjects
of the course.
These answers, as usual, were read before the several teachers and myself,
marks being given for each answer as read. Viva voce questions were given
when considered desirable or necessary; and the skill of the 3rd year students in
bandaging &c., was practically tested by me.
11. Thirteen third year students were examined and seven passed ; the last
on the list did not quite come up to the standard, but he has fair general know--
ledge, and had been very ill during the session and not able to devote much
time to Materia Medica and Chemistry, but will I believe make a good Medical
Subordinate.
12. A list is given showing the percentage of marks gained by the passed
men on each subject. Hyder Hussain, the fourth on the list, is a very intelligent
and hard reading young man, and would have taken a better place, had not a sheet
of his answers in Anatomy been confiscated on being found in the possession of
another student Ramji Mull. This last named young man had barely passed in
Medicine, was detected copying in Anatomy, and declined to be examined in
Surgery.
13. Five other young men failed, and as the results of the weekly oral
examinations were generally unfavorable there could be no hesitation in rejecting
them and they have been suspended.
14. Two of the rejected ones had become quite reckless, and led the other
three into idle and dissipated habits notwithstanding repeated exhortations,
warnings and punishments.
Percentage of marks gained.
