C.A. 3917/14.

Sir,

30th January 1915.

With reference to Mr. Read's letter of the 3rd December (44962/1914), I am directed by the Board of Education to state that two candidates for the post of Assistant Master in the Education Department of Hong Kong were interviewed by the Selection Committee on the 27th January, but the Committee decided not to recommend either of these candidates for the appointment, Dr. Jordan and Mr. F.W.Cape, H.M. Inspector, were members of the Selection Committee on this occasion.

Very few candidates applied as the result of the recent advertisement, and the Board are of opinion

that a suitable candidate is not likely to be

forthcoming in the immediate future. They propose

however to repeat the advertisement towards the end of

the current school term and to hold an interview

towards the middle of March of any suitable persons who

have applied by then. I am to inquire whether this

course would meet with the approval of the Secretary of

State for the Colonies.

the Under Secretary of state,

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

S. W.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

F. Frank Feathe
