9. We recommend no departure from the policy of increasing school-fees. We recommend the abolition of the Apparatus Fee paid by students who have the use of any instruments or apparatus of value. The students are very careful and replace small breakages of their own accord, and the fee would have to be so small that it would not go any way towards repairing an injury to valuable apparatus.

21. For the type-writing class, which will consist of two lessons a week for one term, we recommend a fee of ten dollars. For this fee, the students would be given the use of three machines and of a number of dummy machines and would be permitted to practise at suitable times every evening between 6 and 9.

22. TEACHERS' FEES.

The present rate of payment to teachers is $5.50 an hour. It is admitted by everybody that the fee has proved very little attraction. It is not as high as the fees paid at home for similar work, and in the case of most of the teachers is not in proportion to the salaries received by them for their ordinary work. The recognised remuneration for overtime work is one and a half times the pay for work during regular hours. In the case of the fees paid to the teachers of the Evening Continuation Classes, this proportion is not observed.

The rate we recommend in ordinary cases is four dollars an hour where the class consists of not more than fifteen students, and five dollars when it exceeds that number. In the case of Physics and Chemistry, we suggest that a proportionately higher fee should continue to be paid. We distinguish these classes from other classes by the reason that the teacher has not only to prepare the lesson but has to prepare the apparatus and carry out the experiments he proposes to perform. We recommend that the teachers of these two classes receive a fee of five dollars for a class of not more than fifteen students and six dollars when the class exceeds that number.
