Libraries.-Though a separate department was constituted for Libraries under the Director of Libraries the inspection of the Libraries and Reading rooms continued to be done by the Inspecting Officers of this department. Most of them were working •atisfactorily. Physicol Training.-With the appointment of ·qualified Physical Directors especially in Sirkar Schools Physical education received better attention. Foot-Ball, Volley-llall and Bad· minton are played regularly in the majority of schools and the' pupils continued to show great interest in games. In the matter of ploy grounds, however, much remains to be done both in Sirkar and Private Schools, The Cochin Athletic A.ssociation.-The Cochin Athletic Association conducted the Cochin Inter Schools Sports, Tournaments, and the Cochin Olympic Sports. .The Inter School Tennis Tournament was not, however, conducted this year for want of entries. Prizes and Medals were awarded to the winners as usual. The Association received the usual grant of Rs. 1,500 from Government. Scouling.-Scouting continued to receive the usual attention as in previous years. The Organising Commissioner was on tour for 202 days in the year. His visits to the Croups were very conducive to the development of Scouting. · Sea Scout Croups were started at Kattur and Narakkal. The Naval authorities are giving all encourugement and help to develop Sea Scouting on proper lines. _ The long felt need for a Permanent Training Centre has not yet been met as the site of 70 cents handed over to the Association was found to be inadequate for the purpose. Government have been approach~ ag~i~ for alloting the full acreage required. , • . A Cub·masters T rammg camp was held at Ernakulam. 21 candidates were tramed tn thts Camp: Man~ of them have started packs of their own. Camps which occupy on prominent pla~e tn Scouh~g prograf!'me were not very extensive during the year. Food situation was IODJOly responSible for thiS, it Five Scouters, at the invitation of the Rombay Provincial Association attended the jamboree at Poona in August 1947. The Birth Day of H. H. the Maharaja, the Chief Scout, was celebrated by the Groups throughout the State. The Scouts celebrated the Indian Independence Day also in a fitting manner. At the meeting the District Commissioner for Emakulam spoke to the boys about the importance of the Day and the need lor greater amount of restraint and discipline in the days ahead. . . . The total income including the usual grant of Rs. 7,500 from Government amounted to Rs. 8,790 and the expenditure toRs. 6,849. Bureau of Education.-Mr. Paul Verghese, Vice• Principal of the Training College con• tinued to be the Secretary consequent on the shifting of the Bureau to the Training College and the "pening of the Membership to the pupil-teachers at a reduced rate through institutien is getting popular among the teachers who pass out of the portals of the College every year. It was not possible to conduct the usual Summer Course in 1122. It is hoped that this ass would be made good with greater vigour in the next year. The first issue of the "Journal of the Bureau"' came out during the last week of June 1947. This is an Half yearly Anglo-Vernacular Magazine primarily meant for recording research made in the State and elsewhere in the field of Education. This infant institution having started with a handfull of members is steadily growing and it can be safely assumed that it would become a great power house in the educational field. Noon Feeding of School Children.-Mr. K. Madhava Menon continued to be the Secre tary and Administrator of the Fund till Vrischigam 1122 when the post of the Secretary and Administrator was abolished and the Office of the Feed the Children Fund amalgamated with the Office of the Director. The Personal Assistant to the Director of Public Instruction became the Secretary of the Fund. There was no change in the personnel of the Central Committee and the Working Commit• tee. The Central Committee met twice and the Working Committee met once during the year. For exercising proper supervision and control over the conduct of feeding in schools two Feeding Inspectors were appointed in Makaram 1122 with Head Quarters at Chalakkudy and Trichur respectively. The total collection of the Collection Committee and from other sources amounted to Rs. 1,253 only and as this was not found encouraging, Government were pleased to order that the Collection Committees might be disolved. . Noon-Feeding.-The scheme began ,.;.ith 333 schools at the beginning of the year and rose to 437 schools towards the dose of the year. The number of children enrolled for feeding was about 61,130 and the total expenditure amounted toRs. 4,36,405. Many schools that were lighting shy of the scheme tt first were persuaded to start feeding. On the whole the scheme has become very popular and it is now part and parcel of school work. In these days of rationing and shortage of food the system of noon-feeding has been a highly beneficial measure in preserv· ing the health of the young children of the poor-classes. Military Concessions.-ln addition to 2,1 Ob pupils already granted concessions in the pre• vious years, 422 pupils were awarded concessions during the year in the matter of fees and supply of text books. A sum of Rs. 24,993 was spent for the refund of fees and cost of text books. CONCLUSION There was an appreciable increase in the number of schools and in the number of pupils studying in them. Many of the schools were, however, handicapped for want of sufficient ac• commodation and proper equipment. In the new High Schools accommodation, equipmenta. and furniture were neither adequate nor satisfactory. Half-time work in the Primary Classes was not conducive to real progress. Despite these short-comings the high level of efficiency in our Schools was maintained during the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, I. N.
