to perform, and even their duties do not normally
include domiciliary visits at such hours, I would
further add to my original statement that during
the year I have to read through some tens of thousands
of examination papers, a great part of this work being
done in the late evening, and during the summer vaca-
tion months when the members of the Teaching Staff of
the Department have left the Colony for health resorts
in the north.
I beg finally to be permitted to draw atten-
tion to the summary presented on pages 4 and 5 of my
original letter attached, and to request that as I
have held for over seven years a post senior to the
Head Mastership, a post which requires a wider knowledge
of education, which calls for at least twice the amount
of duty and to which precedent assigns a higner salary,
my salary may be increased in due proportion, and that
instead of receiving as at present £900 per annum,
with
£120 (non-pensionable) as Director of the Technical
Institute, I be permitted to draw £1200 for the two
posts of Inspector of Schools and Director of the
Technical Institute.
I have the honour to be,
sir.
Your most humble & obedient servant,
&Kaiphs.
Inspector of English Schools
and Director of the Technical Institute.
