who at present is one of the 2 Senior Masters on the scale
£750-25-850 (see your despatch No.119 of April 29th, 1926) should be placed on the same scale as the Headmaster, Queen's,
College. The two Inspectors of English Schools should also
be on that scale. Their work is of a very responsible nature, calling for high qualities of character and ability, and these 2 posts would usually be filled by senior men specially fitted to hold them. To avoid complications it
is very desirable that the same scale of salary should apply to all these 4 posts, i.e. two Inspectors of English Schools,
one Headmaster, Queen's College and one Headmaster, King's
College. That scale, I submit, should be £850-50-1100, maximum which gives pensionable prospects more commensurate with services rendered than has hitherto been the case.
There remains, it will be seen, one post of

Senior Master to be considered. For the creation of this

despatch of September 6th, 1920. While the present incumbent
Mr. R. J. Birbeck, remains in the service, I recommend that
this post should be retained at a salary of £800-25-900, an
increase of £50 over the present maximum. After Mr.Birbeck's
retirement, the retention or otherwise of this post, which
appears to me to have no necessary place in the comprehensive.
