There is a change in the scale of salary that should be considered. I am against the proposed salary for two reasons: (a) it is an odd figure; it would be better to say £700 or £800. (b) It is not in line with the Cadet appointments. The salary for this post is £920, while the Education Department's Class I and Class II salaries are £600. The present sterling salary for Class II men, such as the Assistant Colonial Secretary, the Registrar, the Second Police Magistrate, and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, will lead them to press their claims for similar treatment.

The retirement of Dr. G. H. Bateson Wright from the Headmastership of Queen's College, as reported in Your Lordship's telegram of the 11th ultimo, gives opportunity to carry into effect the instructions contained in the 11th paragraph of Mr. Chamberlain's Despatch No.300 of the 12th September, 1902, that Queen's College should be again placed under the Inspector of Schools. Advisable as this course appeared at the time when that Despatch was written, it is in my opinion still more desirable now in view of the fact that Queen's College no longer stands alone as an Upper Grade School, but is now primus inter pares with four other Schools under the Education Department, all of which afford an education of the same class as Queen's College. I have the honour to make the following recommendations in this connection.
