In lieu of the five stipends of Rs. 50 a month, tenable for two years, which are at present given to the best five students of the Civil Engineering College who pass the final examination, either ten stipends of Rs. 50, or else four of Rs. 50 and ten of Rs. 30 each, will be granted to those engineer students at the new institution who pass the best examination at the end of the fourth year. Similarly, at the end of the 3 years' course of Civil Overseers, either ten stipends of Rs. 20, or else four of Rs. 20, and ten of Rs. 12, tenable for 14 years will be granted. These stipends will be paid by the Public Works Department, and will be liable to forfeiture in case of misconduct. To Mechanical Overseers, as apprentices, the system of scholarships will not be applicable, An equivalent for this will be provided by allowing those who make the best progress a share in the value of the work done by them after the expiration of the first year of their apprenticeship. It will be obligatory in the case of apprentices (class 4) that they should board on the premises; and the boarding system will be extended as far as possible, so as to include all other students who may desire to take advantage of it. Any boarding-house, that may thus be established for other than apprentices, will be conducted on the principle of paying its own expenses, rent only excepted. It is hoped that a boarding charge of Rs. 20 a month for Europeans and Eurasians in the Engineer classes, and Rs. 15 in the Overseer classes, and a uniform charge of Rs. 8 for the native boarders will be found sufficient. In addition there are two scholarships, each worth Rs. 10 a month, attached to this College, which were founded in memory of the late Major-General Forbes. These scholarships are tenable for one year, and are awarded after the annual College Examination in May to the most deserving students in the second-year Engineer class. Note.-There is every probability that the course for this class will be reduced to one year or a year and a half, and very considerably altered. Batala Christian Boys Boarding School and College.
