Arabic Department. But in addition to these, owing to most of the Masters being Hindoos
(though they are engaged on the condition that they are not to be exempt, from attendance on
any Hindoo holidays), the Department was closed for one week at the last Doorga Poojah,
an I for four days at that of the previous year. Further, a half holiday is, it seems, allowed
on every day preceding a regular holiday (and this even was allowed before the last Doorga
Poojah holidays), and on three or four days in the year, when a Hindoo holiday falls and any
great “ tumasha ” is to be seen in the streets, a further half holiday is allowed. The above
have not, however, been authorized by the higher authorities.

71. On the margin is shown the number of
hours devoted by each class to English and Ori-
ental subjects per week.

course of English studies, it being much the

73. The five higher classes read Arabic, which
is taught up to the standard of the University
Entrance Examination, or rather higher. The
text-books are those laid down by the Uni-
versity.
74. All classes but the eighth read Persian. . Three Moulvies, as above noted, are enter-
tained for teaching Arabic and Persian. There is a separate Moulvie for Oordoo, and three
Pundits are entertained for teaching Bengalee.
75. Both Bengalee and Oordoo are not insisted on. One must be read, and the choice
is left optional. At present (exclusive of the Eighth Class, in which Oordoo is compulsory)
84 read Oordoo and 101 Bengalee. Bengalee is not read in the Eighth Class, only Oordoo. The
Persian, Bengalee, and Oordoo text-books are fixed by the Principal.
76. The Department is directly under Mr. Blochmann; he joined the institution in
1865 the Assistant Professor (or Head Master as we may, to avoid confusion, term him),
a Fourth Grade officer in the Educational Department: an energetic and intelligent teacher,
and conversant, we understand, with Persian, and also possessing some acquaintance with
Arabic. But the Principal exercises a. general supervision. In matters of leave to the
masters and boys, Mr. Blochmann exercises no authority, all applications being forwarded to
the Principal for orders.
77. The First Class is taught English and Algebra by Mr. Blochmann, who also
(besides giving instruction to the College Class) is obliged, he informs us, to take the trans-
lations from Arabic and Persian into English of the first three classes, as the Moulvies do
not know English. These duties occupy Mr. Blochmann four hours on four days, and five
hours in two days per week. The other English subjects of this class are taught by the
Fourth Master, Baboo Khetter Chunder Ghose, M. a., an exceedingly intelligent young man,
who was appointed to his present post a few months ago.
78. The Second Class is taught in all English subjects, not by the Second Master,
