his seat by the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Ramakrishna Pantulu, and the
President -Founder, Mr.R.Sivasankara Pandyaji,B.A.,F.T.S.,amidst cheers and
shouts of the boys who kept standing till the Swami took his seat. First there
was held a dialogue in Sanskrit on Arya Dharma between two boys of the institution. Then
another little boy of the School was brought forward and questioned about our
religion to which he answered much to the satisfaction of the Swami. Afterwards
Mr.Sivasankara Pandyaji read an address on behalf of the school in which he
expressed his high appreciation of the Swami's merit and work. Then the Swami
rose and in a short speech congratulated the more credit since he had
taken up his cause at a very difficult time when further exhorted the public to
encourage the School in every way and wished that similar institution should
crop up all over India in large numbers
