SCOTEN EDUCATION OVER HOUSE

DEPART WHITEHALL

Dear Mr. Harris,

11th January, 1913.

I am afraid the possibility of our being able to find a place on our permanent staff for Mr. E. Ralphs about whom you write is rather remote. Looking to his training and experience, however, I think he ought to have a fair chance of appointment to the staff of a Training College either here or in Scotland; but such appointments, as I daresay you know, are not made by the Departments directly; they are only subject to our approval, and we cannot take the initiative.

Failing all else it is possible that we might be able to find some occasional temporary work of a kind for which Mr. Ralphs has special qualifications, and with that in view I am having his name noted and retaining for reference the note of his qualifications which you sent me.

I am to add that your name is noted & will be considered with those of other candidates for educational appointments in the Colonial Service as suitable opportunities arise; such vacancies, however, are obscure, especially in ... but much depends on local circumstances.

Dear Mr. Harris,

DEPART

WHITEHALL

11th January,

1913.

I am afraid the possibility of our being

able to find a place on our permanent staff for Mr.

E. Ralphs about whom you write is rather remote.

Looking to his training and experience, however, I

think he ought to have a fair chance of appointment

to the staff of a Training College either here or

in Scotland; but such appointments, as I daresay you

know, are not made by the Departments directly; they

are only subject to our approval, and we cannot take

the initiative.

Failing all else it is possible that we

might be able to find some occasional temporary work

of a kind for which Mr. Ralphs has special qualifi-

cations, and with that in view I am having his name

noted and retaining for reference the note of his

qualifications which you sent me.
