try to make the best of the new admissions." His colleagues have been actuated
by the same spirit of determination to overcome difficulties, and they have been
rewarded by seeing the slothful, the half hearted, and the timid, gradually change
into eager, resolute, and self confident students. Two of the new pupils have
certainly thrown up their books and absconded from the school. Complete success
can never be expected, but more would I am certain have gone, had their imme-
diate teachers been less earnest and faithful in their work, or less kind and conci-
liatory in their method.
7. The conduct of the pupils of all grades has been uniformly good, and
their attendance at lectures, examinations, and dissections exemplary. Much good
has, I believe, been effected in this respect by the power of stopping promotion
and increase of pay accorded to the Principal since my last report.

Teachers.— There has been no change in the staff of teachers since last
report. What I have already said is sufficient to show the careful and zealous
manner in which Babu Doorga Doss Roy, Jadab Kishen Ghose, and Nundo Lal
Ghose continue to perform their duties. Third Class Hospital Assistant Dillawur
Khan continues to be most useful in the Anatomical Department, and 1st Class
Hospital Assistant Mahomed Hoosman has given me his usual valuable assistance
in keeping the books and accounts.
9. General working and Progress of the School.—The general working and
progress of the School has been satisfactory.
10. Babu Doorga Doss Roy speaks highly of the regular attendance and
respectful demeanour of his class. He delivered 110 lectures on Medicine and 67
on Physiology, and held 39 weekly examinations.
11. Babu Jadab Kishen Ghose lectured 88 times, and held 38 examinations
in Surgery, making in all 126. On Anatomy he lectured 86 times, and held 33
examinations. Under his superintendence and with the assistance of 3rd Class Hos-
pital Assistant Dillawur Khan, dissection was carried on diligently during the
cold season Twenty-eight bodies were dissected by the students, and 28 were
utilized for the purpose of making skeletons and other preparations for the use of
the pupils. Great assistance was given in this department by students Mohan Lal
and Rafiudeen, who distinguished themselves by diligence and attention to
their studies.
The students have dissected diligently, and the prejudice against the study
of practical Anatomy appears to be declining.
Babu Jadab Kishen Ghose, speaks with satisfaction of the facilities for Ana-
tomical teaching placed at his disposal by the purchase of several volumes of
excellent plates and working Anatomical Models.
12. Babu Nundu Lal Ghose gave 185 lectures on Chemistry, and 73 on
Materia Medica including examinations on both subjects. His class was uni-
formly well conducted, attentive and respectful.

Result of examinations.— In the month of February, all lecture courses
were brought to a conclusion, and a general examination of the School commenced
for the purpose of passing such 3rd Class students as were qualified, and awarding
prizes to the most deserving of all classes.
There were 7 students who had completed the full term of study, and all
were found sufficiently qualified, the first 3 passing with much credit. These
