If however the Secretary of State should pro-

pose to send out a Trained Certificated Master, it is requi-

site that care should be previously taken to ascertain that

no claim for refund to the Training College lies against the

nominee.

The Blue Book on Education does not state

clearly what constitutes immunity from refund; but apparently

the possession of the Inspectors Parchment (Article 63) should

be accepted for this purpose.

To make assurance doubly sure, however, a writ-

ten statement from the Education Office, Whitehall, should be

provided as a guarantee that no claim should hereafter be

recognised.

Mr. Woodcock, the last Assistant Master appoint-

ed from home, was called upon to refund nearly £100 (one hun-

dred pounds). $ = 3/1.

A similar tax would be insupportable to a mas-

ter appointed at $1620 instead of $2010 especially in view of

the low rate of exchange now ruling. (1/104)

I have, &c.,

(sd.)GEO.H.BATESON WRIGHT,

Head Master.
