Education Department,
Hongkong, 16th. February, 1901,
Acting on your suggestion, I have
ascertained what the recommendations of the Salaries
Committee were with regard to the salaries of the Head-
mistress and the Assistant Headmistress of the Belilios
Public School. The Colonial Treasurer informs me that they
are as follows.-
1900.
1901.
1902.
Headmistress
$150 $165
$180
Assistant, Head- mistress
$100
$115
$130.
There will be no house allowance, but exchange compensa-
tion, which at present amounts to about 22 per cent of
the salary will be drawn.

According to the above scale it
would hardly be possible to offer the new European Assist-
ant teacher at the Belilios Public School more than say
880 a month rising by annual increments of $15 a month
to $110.

I suggested this rate of pay to Mrs.
Bateman and she tells me that the lowest rate at which
Mrs. Gillanders who keeps a boarding house on the Calme
Road, takes boarders, is $90 a month, and that that is
about
the Honourable
J. H. Stewart-Lockhart,C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
