10 might seem to exclude Italians, Freach, etc.

This is not the intention. We suggest, therefore, the wording" ....... but includes also Americans, Australians, etc. whose mother tongue is English.

(111) A further clause to this Section, to

run as follows:- "The salaries of teachers whose

position, on account of race, birth, qualifications or for any other reason, is not covered equitably by the present Code, shall be fixed by the school Managers with the approval of the Director of

Education."

Private Schools.

The scale of salaries proposed in the new Code will undoubtedly embarrass seriously certain Private Schools organised by Missionary Societies, Religious Orders or affiliated to them. We are in

duty bound, therefore, to ask that special facilities should be provided to enable these schools to enter the Grant in Aid system at this juncture. We would mention in particular St. Clare's English School, run by the Canadian Sisters, and the Holy Spirit School, by the Maryknoll Sisters. We understand that, if these schools came under the Grant Code, the total grants under the Revised Code for the two schools would not

reach $20,000.00 per annum.
