work his way through the whole school course". I am interested
to know why this is so as apparently most of the other schools
do not have this experience.
(iii) It is to be hoped that the measures outlined in paragraph

agree that it has been unfortunate that administrative duties have
prevented inspectors from helping teachers in their class room
work.
(iv) It is stated in paragraph 139 of the report that the
figures for Education Department expenditure for 1948/49 were:-
$
Personal emoluments
3,126,126.00
Recurrent other charges
8,575,846.00
Special expenditure.
412,822.00
11,665,656.00
Total expenditure
In the report of the Accountant-General for 1948/49 (pages 52-55)
however the items quoted appear to add up to the following totals:-
$
Personal emoluments
3,126,126.79
Recurrent other charges
8,157,511.19
Special expenditure
419,442.76
11,703,080.74
Total expenditure
Apart from the disagreement between the figures quoted in the
two reports an error in addition appears to have been made in
arriving at the figure for total expenditure quoted in the
Education Department Report..
(v) I am pleased to note that the report follows largely

helpful if that form could be followed as exactly as is
possible in future reports, particularly in connection with
Table VII.
