2nd. February, 1911.

It has hitherto been the practice

at Queen's College (but not in the other schools under

the Education Department) in cases where a Chinese Officer

has been appointed to act in a post substantively held by

an English Master, to allow him to draw half $150 from the

lapsing salary of the European Master, that is $75 without

Exchange Compensation, plus half his own salary.

2.

As the work done by the English

and Chinese Masters is often identical and generally

similar, it is a stretch of language to say that the

Chinese Master is acting in a post more important than his

own, nor is there any reason why he should be allowed

acting pay, since the difference in salary between English

and Chinese Masters represents a difference in the

efficiency of the tuition given by them.
