No. 62.
LONDON SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE to COLONIAL OFFICE.
SIR,
(Received 15 February, 1913.)
[Answered by No. 63.]
Royal Albert Dock, E., 13th February, 1913. IN further reference to your letter of the 13th [? 18th] ultimo, No. 35334/1912,* I beg to inform you that the position created by the proposal to reduce the grant hitherto paid for the maintenance of the Special Departments in the London School of Tropical Medicine has again engaged the attention of the School Committee.
I am requested to state that, anticipating a continuation of the grant, my Com- mittee has guaranteed to the Helminthologist and Protozoologist their salaries of £500 per annum each for the next two years. The agreement with the Entomologist expires in the current year.
The School has provided for these Special Departments suitable laboratories at a capital cost of £4,000, the receipts from the Tropical Diseases Research Fund Committee being so far sufficient for the maintenance of the Departments.
The Helminthologist and Protozoologist have received their higher technical education at the expense of the School, an expense which would have to be incurred again if new appointments at a lower rate were made.
Mr. Chamberlain's Fund, which includes the Wandsworth Bequest of £10,000, and which will bear the cost of the new buildings (probably a further £10,000), will also have to provide for the maintenance of a certain number of beds for tropical cases and for research. At its present figure the fund would yield an annual sum of about £1,500-none too much to meet the incidental expenditure which may reason- ably be expected to be entailed in connection with the enlarged School.
be
In these circumstances the Committee beg that the Tropical Diseases Research Fund Committee may reconsider the subject of the grants to the Special Departments of the London School, in order that reasonable agreements with the teachers maintained.
may The Committee venture to think that, unless they are able to assure the heads of the departments of a secure tenure of office, they are not likely to be able to obtain the most competent teachers.

COLONIAL OFFICE to LONDON SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE. Downing Street, 27 February, 1913.
SIR,
I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Harcourt to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th instant respecting the grant made from the Tropical Diseases Research Fund towards the maintenance of the Special Departments in the London School of Tropical Medicine for the year 1913.
2. I am to refer you to the fourth paragraph of the letter from this Department of the 18th of December last, in which it was intimated that the question of a further grant might be considered if the benefit to be derived from the Mansion House Fund in 1913 should fall short of expectations.
3. A brief statement of the grounds on which any further grant for this year may be requested should be forwarded to this Office about the end of April next, in order that it may be brought before the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund at their Second Ordinary Meeting.
I am, &c.,
HENRY LAMBERT, for the Under-Secretary of State.
