Dear Serpell,
Revision
July, 1947.
Reduetion of the Hong Kong Grant Code
That
Last year Miss Ruston had correspondence
with James about a revision in the 1941 School
Grant and Subsidy Code in Hong Kong.
correspondence rested with James' letter No.S.52892/01 of the 26th August, 1946, which
approved expenditure of £7,000 per annum for the purpose of enabling the salaries of trained Anglo-Chinese Masters and Mistresses to be
increased so as to bring them on to the same
scale as that approved for Masters and
Mistresses of similar status and qualifications
in Government schools.
2.
Subsequently, in October of last year^
Sir Mark Young informed us in a despatch that he had provisionally approved certain amendments
to the 1941 Grant Code, details of which are
given in the two enclosures to this letter. Ther
Jade- amendments involving an increase in expenditure are (a) that Heads of schools shall be entitled to a Charge Allowance in addition to salary, and (b) teachers whose permanent domicile is outside the Far East shall receive an Overseas Allowance at the
rate of £100 per annum for men and £70 for
women.
