Sir,

I have the honour to request that early steps

may be taken to select four Assistant Histresses for the

Education Department.

2. Provision is made in the 1927 Estimates

(page 60) for 30 British Histresses.

At present there are

26, and upon the terminetion of Miss Roberts' engagement early in February next (see your despatch No.311 of 28th November, 1923) there will be five vacancies, one of

which, however, is being filled by the appointment of a

Wlor Flutsf/26~ysical training instructress, see your despatch No.248

Jadeli B

Ansa 220

of 9th August, 1926.

3. It is desired that three of the mistresses

should be teachers with Board of Education Certificate or

University Teaching Diploma. A University Degree is desirable but not essential. They should be able to teach

general subjects and one of them should have been trained

in Kindergarten work.

The fourth should be an Art mistress, able

also to teach general subjects.

4. I should be glad if in connection with these

appointments Miss Berth and Fiss Ralls, whose applications
