sir,

Enclosure 1.

APN OF

Education Department,

Hongkong, 8th. December, 1900.

I have the honour to forward here-

with Miss Long's resignation of her post of monitor im

the Belilios Public School and to recommend Miss Eileen

Chun Yut be appointed to fill the vacancy temporarily

and that she receives the same salary as Miss Long from

the 1st. instant.

2.

I have also to report Miss Olson's

resignation of the post of temporary Assistant teacher

and to recommend the appointment of Miss Ida Simons from

the 1st. instant on a salary of $10.00 a month.

3.

In connection with these two changes

I enclose a letter addressed to me by Mrs. Batenam on

the subject of the teaching staff of the School. The

staff is in my opinion insufficient and I should hesitate

to say it is really efficient.

4.

The very slight qualifications pos-

sessed by the junior teachers, the two Miss Turners and

Miss Long, are a source of embarrassment when any

members of the staff take leave, as it is then difficult

to

e Honourable

J. H. Stewart-Lockhart, C.M.G.,

Colonial Secretary.
