I am sorry that this has been delayed, owing to Sir Robert Robertson having mislaid a letter which I wrote to him on the subject. I have
now spoken to him and find that he "cannot
improve on A/ in my letter".
I am convinced that we ought to support
the plea which the Institute of Chemistry have put forward in very reasonable terms. Formerly, so far as I have gathered from what I have
seen of the Patge: papers of senior men now in
the Service, analytical appointments were usually made on the nomination of some body
such as the Institute of Chemistry or the
Imperial Institute. It was not to be expected
that by such means recruitment would reach a
very high level. Latterly we have cast our
net very much wider and, particularly since.
we have had the assistance of the present
Government Chemist (Sir Robert Robertson)
as technical adviser. Every endeavour has been
made to secure candidates who will become
become
not merely competent routine analysts but who
have the mental outlook, the capacity and the general education (e.g. knowledge of languages)
to keep abreast of modern advances and to make
contributions to chemical science by under-
taking research, so far as their time allows,
into matters likely to be of value to their
Governments. There is no question that men of
this type are what we want and they are not likely to be attracted if second class passages are
offered. The salary offered over the first few

? As proposed by Captain Jameson, saying that
theplea put forward by the Institute of Chemistry
seems reasonable, having regard to the practice
which obtains in other Colonies of granting first
class passages to Assistant- Analysts of the type
recruited for Hong Kong. And go on to say that in
selecting candidates every endeavour is made
as at X/ above.
