We must turn now to the more practical aspect of the marriage ques tlon. If we fix 30 as the age at which Government may expect its officers to marry, what is the minimum salary on which he can do so; and how must [his pay be graded so that if he has children he may be able to cope with the cost of their maintenance and education? Now we are confronted with a serious difficulty. Is it pos- sible for Government to differentiate between the salaries which it gives to married men and to bachelors of the same official status?. On the whole we think not; the State provides or normal is married: an individual prefers to remain a bachelor the State is not concerned. At the same time a good deal can be done to meet the greater expenses of officials who are married and (perhaps) have children by stich

the present temporary grant to, them of free passages when going on and return- ing from leave and possibly by some special annual grant towards the maintenance and education DE children. We now come to the very
