Assistant Mistress.

C.A. 3456/14.

10th September 1914.

Sir,

With reference to Mr. head's letter of the 27th

June (22205/14), I am directed to state that the Board of

Education have decided to recommend Kiss Constance Eleanor

Clarke for appointment as Assistant istrese in the Education.

Department of Hong Kong. Particulars of Miss Clarke's

qualifications and experience will be found in the attached

papers.

I am to point out that iss Clarke does not the possess qualifications such as the Cambridge Teachers

Certificate or the Oxford or London University Diploma

mentioned by the Hong Kong Education Department, but the

Selection Committee considered that the length and character of her experience quite outweigh the lack of formal teaching

certificates and were of opinion that the authorities at

Hong Kong would be very fortunate in securing the services

of a teacher who is so well equipped.

Kr. H.A. Nisbet, Registrar of the Supreme Court, Hong Kong, was a member of the Selection Committee on this

occasion.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

S.X.

I am, Sir,

four obedient Servant,

F. Frank Frath
