the expense of the new scheme by $1080 rising to $1980, i.e.,

the Actual Cost of my proposals is $8,487-$11,940 as against

$9,507-$13,920 recommended by the Committee.

The number of classes and boys for which provision is

necessary is

Preparatory School 240 boys 6 rooms not 450 (Para. 71) Lower 468 Upper 420 1128 ** 9 0 400 100 * 24 950 instead of (para. 71)

For these we require

English Chinese Preparatory 1 3 Lower 3 9 Upper 5 4 4 2 8 * Total 9 17 (11+6PT) 2 ** 19 (14+5PT)

With the appointment of a Normal Master (para. 38D) constantly

supervising the six sections of the Preparatory School, I am of

opinion that one Chinese Assistant and Six Pupil Teachers (8

Masters in all) can efficiently do the necessary work in that

branch of the College. I propose to dispense with three of the

14 Chinese Assistants recommended by the Committee and to add a

Sixth Pupil Teacher (para. 73).

+40. The Committee in (para. 73) recommend a total

of Eleven English Masters including Head Master, this is an increase of three to the masters actually on the Staff, and one

additional to the number (ten) provided in the Estimates for 1902. The Committee were apparently misled by the number of

items in the list which include a Senior English Assistant Kas-

ter on the Estimates in 1901 whose death however is indicated by

in 1902 Column. There were in addition to the Head

Master and Second Master 5 Seniors, 3 Juniors in 1901, 4 Seniors

4 Juniors in 1902, Total 10 in both.
