Apart from this reason, however, you

preferred Mr.N.L. Smith as the most

suitable officer for appointment; and

this recommendation was approved, subject

to Mr. Smith's undertaking a course of

study of educational institutions and

methods in this country with a view to

his obtaining information and experience

useful to him in his new duties.

4. The present vacancy arises from

the promotion of Mr. Smith to high

administrative office in control of

another Department of the Administration

after a comparatively short tenure of

the appointment of Director of Education, and

I note your inability to recommend any

member of the professional staff of the

Education Department to succeed him.
