FURTHER ACTION.

Copy for

21127/2/4/7/47.

Personnel

1. In view of arguments adduced in

your savingram I now approve basic

salary scales for Masters and Mistresses

as recommended by Salaries Commission on

understanding that initial salary of

$800 per month is payable only to officer

with at least 3 years' practical teaching

experience in addition to normal

qualifications.

2. Your suggestion that where it

is necessary to recruit a candidate in

this country without previous experience

he should be appointed on non-incremtal

salary of $720 per month on a three-year

agreement is being examined.

3. Proposals in paras. 6 and 7 of

your savingram approved.
