declared that it could not succeed while conducted on the general principles which regulated all the other Government Schools. Further the illness of the Head Master, the expense of providing an efficient successor, and the disproportion of the cost of the Institution to the benefits imparted by it, as well as to the low estimation in which it was held by the classes whom it was intended to benefit, all combined to determine the Government to discontinue the School. The Library was transferred to the Agra College, except such books as had suffered from long use, which were distributed by the Committee amongst the most deserving students. The Circular No. 39 will shew that the Government took every means for providing for the 1st and 2d Masters at the Ajmere School. Since that Circular was issued, Mr. Porter, the Head Master, has been appointed to Benares, and Mr. Gill, the 2d Master, to Bareilly. PROBATIONAL SCHOOLS. BANCOORAH SCHOOL. 4TH YEAR.
