Dr Braniston.

I have had one & two conversations with our Civil Service Commission and annexed is this result scheme which he has drawn up at my request. There can be no doubt that at Hong Kong & the Straits the system of Cadets has given us very useful officers and Jurually continues to do so. Where in principle things are modified in points of detail with regard to the Cadets I think and The line of our four opinion cannot see how with it will be possible to turn up sufficient good Interpreters & that failing to get good Interpreters among the Cadets we shall pick up a good Interpreter from outside the service.

In this way Mr Pickering & Mr Alabaster have joined the public service. Upon that a Third Interpreter should be Turned out practically Hand in hand whether mantainable or not for Hongkong day by day.

MINUTE PAPER.

He should attend the Supreme Court when sitting and at other times his services should be available in the other courts and if competent for the Junior members of the Cadets.

The higher studies of the Cadets. We have no idea of the labour involved in mastering the hateful details of Chinese Character writing and as I smith points out this might be done here much better than in the trying climate of Japan. This fact prevents me specially from advocating that the Cadets should in the first year study Chinese under Dr. Legge. It appears that the hopeful candidates should (when) passing the Civil Service Commission examination provide for a year at Matriculated Students to study Chinese under Dr. Legge. We would be able to make arrangements whereby their course of reading should not be abandoned during the Long Vacation.
