Classes should coincide with promotion in the English Classes

and that there should be an entrance examination in Chinese.

If you approve of the recommendations of

4.

the Governing Body I have to request your authority to provide

in the Estimates for next year the increased expenditure set

out in the attached schedule. It amounts to $6,899 for next

year and a maximum of $11,040.

The employment of a Third Examiner for

the College involves an additional 'expenditure of $300 per

there having been heretofore 2 Examiners who were paid

annum,

a fee of $300 each.

I propose that the allowance of 3600

to the Master who acts as Normal Master should not carry

Exchange Compensation nor be drawn in whole or in part by an

Officer on leave nor be pensionable.

I take this opportunity of infoming you

that the project of instituting a Chinese High School is at

present in abeyance. I understand that the want is being met

by a local private Institution.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Stem, as the

Governor, &c..
