The classes should be made a part of the Education Department and should be under a principal or director who as head of a sub-department should be solely responsible for the conduct of the classes. This arrangement would enable a more thorough control to be kept also over expenditure, would render administration easier and would relieve the Inspector of Schools of much work. For some time at any rate we think that the Inspector of Schools would find an Advisory Committee of use to him and we recommend the formation of such a Committee with duties corresponding to those of the Governing Body of Queen's College.

28. We are of opinion however that it is impossible under present circumstances to carry out this scheme at once. There has been hitherto considerable uncertainty as to the status and power of the Organizing Secretary and if the change in status is to be effective and to produce the required result the New Principal must be considerably senior to the members of the teaching staff otherwise the Inspector of Schools will find himself compelled by circumstances to do a great part of the work of the Principal. We recommend therefore that for twelve months the classes be put under the direct control of the Inspector of Schools, that the post of Secretary be abolished, that the Inspector of Schools be given an allowance of $75.00 a month for the eight months the classes are open and that he be supplied with the necessary clerical assistance which can be obtained for $40.00 a month.

29. DIRECTION, INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION. Ultimately when the time comes to carry out the original scheme, and there should be no unnecessary delay, the classes will be conducted by the Principal under the Inspector of Schools, will be subject to regular inspection by the Inspector of Schools, and an annual report on them will be made by him to the Government.
