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.

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.
