The Inspection

BR Raksun

It is a small school in a village. Paul is the headmaster of the school. He has four teachers excluding him and the school is doing well with good teachers.

You cannot control students in a village who are not well trained for looking good. They are from small income group families and the teachers cannot make them look attractive with their dress or with their bizarre manners.

Some students come with unfamiliar dress to school. The shirt will be something of his brother and hair will be a mop of messy hair. The girl comes with a garland of wild flowers. She says, her mother loves these flowers, so she wears this garland to satisfy her mother.

A boy is suffering with cold and his nose is constantly running. The people with severe cold start with a burning feeling in the nose or throat, followed by sneezing, a runny nose, and a feeling of being tired and unwell. All this we cannot change in general appearance of a village school.

"Tomorrow, we are going to meet the officer from our state's education department. He will see the development in the school and report to the department. Depending on this report, our school's aid will continue." Paul said.

The teachers in the school are worried about the inspection. It should be known by this that how far the teachers are doing their job properly. The inspection is directly not to judge teachers, they inspect the students only. By the replies given by the students, the caliber of the teachers is gauged and derived. It is an instrument to determine the exact dimensions, capacity, quantity, or force of the standard of the teaching.

Teachers advised the students to come with neat dress to school as it is a day of Inspection.

They are also advised by the teachers that they prepare well for the inspection and answer carefully.

Pupils of the school understood how important the day is. So they are well prepared for the day and they also took every care to be well dressed.

The headmaster Paul is looking for the officer. He made all the arrangements to treat him well.

The village has no hotel. So Paul arranged for dinner in his house.

It is after noon and the officer did not turned up. Paul's mobile started ringing. He attended the call and he is informed by the DEO that he will be late and he may come tomorrow.

Paul was unhappy for he will have to get the children for tomorrow also like this.

A person known to Paul has come to school to meet him. He is a old friend Alfred.

Alfred is a classmate of Paul and he likes Paul very much. Paul calls him 'supernatural wise'.

"Alfred, today we expected our education officer, but just now I have a call that he will come tomorrow."

Alfred smiled. He looked in to Paul's face and tried to pacify him.

"Don't worry. I have come to see you. Why don't you let me see your staff and children here thinking me your officer."

Paul smiled for his wit. He introduced Alfred to his teachers that he is his close friend, He also said that Alfred wants to see how our school is working. He also said that let the pupils think him as inspector.

Alfred was happy for the lovely development of the education in the school. The children are more interested in studies.

What he thought odd is the bizarre dressing which looks unnatural and it appears not suitable to the students in a school in village.

Paul agreed and accepted that it all is arranged for the day. Some children are given dresses from some other children of the school. There is no doubt that it is all artificial arrangement made fro the day of inspection.

Alfred smiled. Alfred had a good feast in Paul's home. In the evening when Alfred is getting ready to go, Paul asked him to stay few days.

"The job is over. I have to report tomorrow in the office." Alfred said.

Then the vehicle of DEO has come to Paul's home and Alfred sat in the vehicle saying  goodbye.

Paul wondered at the way the day of inspection is over.
