6th. While thus studying, he will be under the control and supervision of the Governor of the Colony, who will frame regulations for his hours of study and general government. Quarters, books, and teachers will be provided for him at the public expense, and he will be required to attend at the Public Offices two hours daily, in order to give him an opportunity of learning the details of public business, without interfering with his reading.

7th. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be appointed a Government Interpreter, and will be temporarily employed in such of the Departments as may require his services, at a salary of £400 per annum, without other allowances. After two years' approved service as Interpreter, the salary will be increased to £500; and after three years' service he will be considered eligible by the Secretary of State for promotion to the higher offices in the Civil Service of Hong Kong.

8th. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass his final examination (see Section 7), within three years after his arrival in the Colony, or if, at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Governor and Executive Council to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable.--The Governor and Council will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home, or shall be, in addition, called upon to repay the cost of his passage out.

9th. A Bond must be entered into by the Cadet and his friends at home with the Agents General for Crown Colonies to secure the repayment of the cost of the passage out, in the event of his dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced —and also in the event of the Cadet within four years from the date of his arrival in Hong Kong either quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except for ill health), together with a further sum of £50 for each year to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching up to his leaving.
