Referring to Your Lordship's Des-

GON

1234 -patch No. 101 of the 22nd. May last, I have the honour to

state that the Head Master of Queen's College is strongly

of the opinion, in which I concur, that the slow rate of

promotion in the College and the importance of the post of

Normal Master are such as to justify the provision of a

permanent pensionable salary for the appointment at a

higher rate than that attached to the post of Senior

Master.

2.

I enclose a copy of the letter

in which Dr. Bateson Wright first suggested the creation

of this post, and I venture to express the hope that Your

Lordship will see fit to reconsider your decision and

approve the arrangement suggested by Sir Matthew Nathan.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G.,

Officer Administering the Govern-

-ment.

800.
