Singapore where he taught English to Chinese boys up to

the standard of the Cambridge Senior Local Examination,

and took his class in all subjects required for that

examination.

The official statement of Mr. Turner's record

at Singapore states that his work and conduct were quite

satisfactory. He is understood to have resigned at the

end of his period of probation owing to dissatisfaction

with certain promotions made. The reports on his pre-

vious service in Scotland and his testimonials are of a

satisfactory nature and, at his re-appearance before the

Committee, he confirmed the agreeable impression made at

the previous interview, As was pointed out in the

previous recommendation the details of his career argue

considerable persistence and force of character.

Mr. Turner is anxious to return to the East as he

enjoyed his experience in Singapore and found that the

conditions of the life suited him.
