This page is an attachment appendix to the articles [[Railway schools]] and [[Hill schools]].
It is a transcript of a document setting out the rules for [[schools|school ]] fees subsidies for the children of some Railway [[railways|railway]] employees who were “subordinates.” It was found among papers belonging to a family where a student had attended Oak Grove School in the mid 1940s and the father was an employee of the [[East Indian Railway]], having undertaken his apprenticeship with the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]]. It seems to have applied from 1921 to employees of the ORR, then owned by the Government of India, continuing when ORR was merged into the East Indian Railway in 1925. It is not known whether this benefit also applied to other Government of India railway employees.
The exact meaning of “subordinates” is unclear, but may refer to employees who were recruited in India rather than in the U.K.UK, or alternatively those who were “not managers”.----
'''Rules for the Education of Children of Railway Employees at the Hill Schools (as published by the old O & R Railway in part III of that Railway Weekly Gazette No 4 dated 21st January 1921 and amended and brought up-to-date in January 1935 in regard to the charges made for board and tuition by the various schools recognised for the purposes of assistance under these rules).'''
:(III) The Church of England Home, Dumbarnie, Mussoorie, has been recognised as an approved institution and placed in class “A”.
