out a strong case for an increase in his emoluments on the
ground of increased work and responsibility and I have
nothing but praise for Mr. Irving's work as Director of
Education..It is, moreover, anomalous that the appointment
of Director of Education should be in the same class end
on the same rate of pay as that of the Headmaster of
Queen's College, who is his subordinate.

I have, therefore, to recommend
that in next year's Estimates Mr. Irving's personal allow-
-ance should be increased from $300 to $600 per annum and
that he should be given Exchange Compensation upon the
allowance so increased, but should not be permitted to
include it in calculating his pension. The allowance would
only be drawn while Mr. Irving fills the post of Director
of Education or while he is on leave, not when he is
acting in any other appointment.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Governor,&D..
