With reference to Mr. Chamberlain's Des-

patch No. 320 of the 27th. August, I have the honour to trans-

mit for your information the enclosed copies of an amended

Statement regarding the work and staff of Queen's College,

in which I have given effect to the suggestions and criticisas

made by Mr. Chamberlain thereon. With regard, however, to the

question of leave of absence I am strongly of opinion that,

to save misunderstandings and possible confusion in the future,

no option should be given to Masters in this matter, and that

Educational Officers should be bound by the following rules.-

(a) Two months School Vacation per annum on full pay; (b) Three

months Vacation Leave followed by half-pay leave at the periods

when such half-pay leave is granted. The question as to whether

School Vacation should be included in such Vacation Leave of

otherwise being settled according to paragraph 5 of Mr. Chamber-

lain's Despatch No. 406 of 28th. December, 1900; and (c) no

other Vacation Leave. These rules should apply to all Education-

al Officers hereafter to be appointed. Officers already in

the Service and appointed since the date of Mr. Chamberlain's

Despatch above referred to have accepted the above terms re-

-garding

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE

COLONIES.
