GOVERNOR SIR C. A. MOLONEY to MR. CHAMBERLAIN. (Received October 25, 1901.)
(No. 436.)
[Answered by No. 29.]
Government House, October 5, 1901. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 90, of the 12th April last,* on the subject of the number and value of the scholarships in the United Kingdom to be awarded by this Government.
2. I submitted the matter for the consideration of the College Council. At a meeting held on the 4th June last the following resolution was passed:-
"After consideration of the Secretary of State's despatch, No. 90, of the 13th April, 1901, for the suggestions in which the Council thank him, they are respectfully of opinion that the best interests of education in this Colony will be served for the present by adherence to their resolution of the 23rd May, 1900, as embodied in Sir H. Jerningham's despatch of the 15th June, 1900.† They gladly accept the suggestion that scholars should have free medical attendance, and have the advantage of the director proposed."
3. Under the circumstances I think it desirable that the number of scholarships should not be reduced for the present further than has already been recommended.
I have, &c.,

SIR,

GOVERNOR SIR C. BRUCE to MR. CHAMBERLAIN. (Received November 26, 1901.)
[Answered by No. 29.]
Governor.
Government House, Mauritius, October 25, 1901.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 111, of the 12th April last, on the subject of the position of students from Mauritius holding scholarships in the United Kingdom.
2. I caused your despatch to be referred to the Committee of Superior In- struction, and I transmit herewith a copy of the Minutes of proceedings of the meeting at which the matter was discussed.
3. The Committee explain their reason for suggesting that the Director to be appointed should not exercise financial or disciplinary control or supervision over the students, and they recommend that the present allowance of £75 for return passage be maintained.
4. I laid the correspondence before the Executive Council, who advised that the recommendation of the Committee of Superior Instruction as to the control to be exercised by the Director over the students be approved, and that, as regards the return passage, the laureates should be provided by the Crown Agents with a passage not less than second class, the balance between the cost thereof and the passage allowance, £75, being paid to them.
5. As I informed the Under Secretary of State in my letter of the 30th March last, when on leave in England, I am inclined to think, in view of the increase in the value of the scholarships, that the return passage allowance may fairly be reduced to £50, but in deference to the opinion of the Committee and of the Executive Council, I shall raise no objection to it being maintained at the present figure.
