Narendranath Bhattacharya obtained a job at Baidybati and left Brahmacharyashram but after some time wanted to join in his previous post. Rabindranath was not in favour of that. He didnot like teachers coming and going this way. Though he could not stick to his principle.He was eager to re-appoint Manoranjan Bandyopadhyay. He re-appointed Subodh Chandra who once joined Delhi post office at his father in law;s request.He re-established his own son in law Satyendranath Bhattacharya . In fact it became an epidemic amongst teachers joining the School and leaving it. Once he appointed a Headmaster with a fat salary. He was Nagendranarayan Roy, the Headmster of Rampurhat. Haricharan Bandyopadhyay wrote about him that he was very calm and quiet and innocent in nature. He had no temper. None saw him to be angry so long he remained in Ashram. he practiced Homeopathy. He was keen to his patient. He at once reached to patient's place when he got any information.He prescribed medicine, took care of the patient and did the nursing of any wounded person. But the method of teaching of this person had a gulf of difference from that of Rabindranath. He himself wrote in this respect,
Once I thought in myself that we need one Headmaster. Somebody informed me that there was a marvellous teacher. He passed in any examination who was touched by his magic wand. He was appointed. After a few days he complained the boys were in a habit of climbing trees. Rabindranath said that they would not do so when they would attain his age. It was only because the trees asked them to come after spreading its branches. What was the harm in it if they sat and extend their legs to swing. At this he became annoyed . He was an expert teacher, a good Headmaster. But here he was unfit and ultimately left the place.
After reading the story in the bi-monthly bulletin of Santiniketan, Manoranjan Bandyopadhyay thought the story might be related to him. Rabindranath replied against his complain on 3rd Oct,
1902,
After your retreat at the request of the well wisher. I uprooted a Headmaster from a district school of Birbhum and sowed on our school. But the soil did not permit it to grow.
Haricharan Bandyopadhyay thought that Nagendranarayan Roy was the target of this utterance.
