We attach a table showing the estimated effect of our recommendations, on the basis of January-February, 1927 figures, as compared with 1926 revenue from fees.
D.
We have not considered the Central British, Peak, Kowloon Junior, Quarry Bay and Victoria British Schools.
The fees at these schools were revised in 1922 in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the Board. Mr. Irving then reported "the effect of these changes will be to increase the average fee paid at the Peak and to make small increases in the fees at the other schools”.
A tablet of these fees is attached.
