being between those of the Second Master and Senior Assistant Master. This could be effected by amalgamating the $600 allowance with the salary, the addition of Exchange Compensation would be entailed by the change to a permanent and pensionable office. At the present time, owing to recent alterations in the Police School the Normal Master receives only the same allowance as the Second Master at the Police School, whereas the original intention was that his allowance should not be less than that of the Master-in-charge of the Police School, which is now $900.

Whether the Normal Master is permanently or temporarily appointed we always have three, instead of the four Senior Assistant Masters originally provided, and actually employed up to 24 years ago when Mr. Tanner was appointed Normal Master. The consequence of this is that of five Junior Assistant Masters one is, and for 2 years has continually been, doing the work of a Senior Assistant Master. I submit that as the difference between the duties of Executive and Assistant Engineers in the Public Works Department is clearly recognised by a difference in salary, the same distinction should be equally clearly marked in the case of Senior and Junior Assistant Masters at Queen's College. No Assistant Engineer or Junior Assistant Master should be expected permanently to discharge the higher duties of Executive Engineer or Senior Assistant Master at the salary of the lower office. I recommend therefore that there be only four instead of five Junior Assistant Masters and one be promoted to be Senior.

5.

There is a strong feeling of dissatisfaction amongst the Junior Assistant Masters with the inadequate nature of their salaries $270 rising in nine years to $360. It appears that Senior Sanitary Inspectors are in the Estimates credited with the equivalent of $270 ($1,800 plus Exchange Compensation), and I myself see considerable force in the argument of these masters that it does not necessarily follow that the same salary must be viewed
