CO129-603-1 Education Department- revised grant code 5-2-1947 - 14-4-1948 — Page 28

been possible to judge the effect of the amendments.

2. The following points have also been raised in

further examination of the Code:-

(a) It has been pointed out that an Assistant

Teacher can in some cases (i.e. where the Head

Teacher is of local domicile) receive a higher

salary than the Head Teacher: e.g. it is noted that

in the case of St. Paul's Girls' College, Dr. C. Woo

is on her maximum salary of £444 + Charge Allowance

of £150 making a total of £594. But when

Mr. C.P. Smith is on his maximum he will be drawing

a total of 2640.

(b) It is noted that the 2150 Charge Allowance is

the same both for men and women, but the Burnham

allowances for Head Teachers are subject to sex

differentiation (vide paragraph 9(a) of the Report).

(c)

It is presumed, with reference to paragraph 7

of Part I that fees form the total income of the

Schools and that there are no endowments.

(a) It is also presumed that adequate supervision

exists to see that the greatest possible measure of

economy is exercised in all Grant-aided schools, and

that any fall in income from fees is satisfactorily

explained.

3. I approve additional expenditure involved by

adoption of revised code, subject to consideration, and

further information in regard to, the points raised in

two the preceding & paragraphs.
