15. Mr. Sung Hok Pang who has been seconded from Government Service to the University for two years from the 1st January, 1927, is now drawing by an arrangement with Government $3,600 a year with
no allowances. He has recently submitted a piteous plant about the inadequacy of this pay. He is 47 years of age and joined Government service in 1905. hen he left Queen's College he was on his maximum of $3,000 a year, but I gather that since he has been with us his salary scale under Government has been extended by annual increments of $150 a year to $4,800 a year. As the re-
sult of this extension he would, were he at the moment in Govern-
ment service, be drawing $3,300 plus presumably some house allow-

as against the $3,600 a year without a house allowance which
he is drawing from the University. Mr. Sung is by all accounts a good teacher of Cantonese for foreigners and it is perhaps reason- able that if he be taken away from the service of Government to äo rather special work he should receive some additional pay. I am suggesting that if he were taken on more or less permanently to the University Staff as a member of the staff of the Chinese School
it should be on a salary scale of $4,000-160-4,800 a year without
any allowances. It may be argued that the senior teacher of the
Chinese Class should not draw pay in advance of the Chinese Lec-
turers. But Mr. Sung has had 23 years of teaching experience. The second teacher of the Language Class might be paid $2,000-
100-3,000 a year without any allowances.

All the accommodation which it has been found possible
to give to the Chinese Language Class is three small rooms in the old workshop building. One of those is now being used as an office
