I may mention, in passing, that none of the masters for whose benefit this proposal is made receive more than $20 a month. The plan would also relieve me of having so often to decline forwarding applications for increase of salary.

6.

The sum necessary to carry out this proposal would be fully covered by the item in the Estimates for Grants-in-aid. Taking the result of last year's examinations as a basis for calculation, I find that 5 masters would have received $25 each, and 8 masters $15 each; that is, $245 in all.

A reward of this kind coming, as it would, opportunely at the Chinese New Year would, I am sure, do more for the prosperity
