Provision should be made to carry on all the classes now in existence in the Commerce Section. They all promise to be permanent with the exception perhaps of the Advanced Class in Book-keeping. There is not at present much expectation of pecuniary benefit held out to students of advanced book-keeping, and the class will probably never be patronised by Chinese. Until January the class was taught by Mr. Crapnell, a practical book-keeper. On his leaving the Colony no one with practical experience could be found to take his place, and though Mr. Brawn of the Diocesan School undertook the work and is willing to continue if asked to do so, he is of opinion that the class cannot be a success unless it is taught by a practical man. We agree with him and recommend that unless some one with a practical knowledge of book-keeping can be found to teach the class it should be discontinued.\n\n4. Classes in Japanese and Commercial Arithmetic were formed on the opening of the classes in October, 1906, and were carried on till after China New Year, but have since closed. A class in Commerce Geography was promised on the prospectus but a sufficient number of pupils failed to apply for admission.\n\n5. There was a fair demand for Japanese when the classes first opened and we believe there always will be a demand among the Chinese for a class in this language if a competent teacher can be secured. Unfortunately the teacher was not quite satisfactory and left at the end of March.

The Secretary of State has himself admitted that the scale of pay is not sufficient, firstly by granting double exchange compensation at the time when the Sterling Scheme was under his consideration, secondly by granting to Cadets drawing the higher dollar salaries the privilege of receiving payment at an exchange of 2/ when the dollar is over that figure, on the ground that when the dollar is unduly high their emoluments are inadequate, and thirdly by creating various new posts with the higher dollar rates attached; for, if the lower sterling scale had been considered to be an adequate remuneration, a similar dollar scale would presumably have been introduced.\n\nA Passed Cadet's salary is not inadequate for a junior Officer, but it would seem not unreasonable that an Officer of seven years' seniority should on promotion look for some increase in his emoluments. So far from this being the case his promotion brings him considerable loss, as the following calculation proves:-\n\nA Cadet on 2350 acts continuously in permanent appointments and it may be assumed that he draws acting pay during three-fourths of the time.

He has come out here, under agreement, for the period of the war, as a clerk in the Orient Tobacco Manufactory (C. Ingenohl) to replace one of the Germans who has been interned.\n\n3.\n\nHe and his effects were well searched, he is very youthful, and hardly seems the type of person to be dangerous. He speaks very good English, German and French.\n\n4.\n\nHis recent history is as follows:- For 7 years he was employed as correspondence clerk with the firm of Ridley Whiteley & Co., Ltd., linoleum manufacturers in Edmonton, London. On August 19th., 1914, he was recalled to Switzerland to serve in the Army (he has his Swiss Army papers with him). He served there until the end of November. His division then got 2 months leave, and he applied and got 7 months leave to resume his employ in England. He returned to London at the end of January, 1915. In the meantime the firm of Ridley Whitley & Co., Ltd., had gone into liquidation and Otto Stutz was out of employment. He obtained temporary employment with the firm of James Walker & Co., Ltd., Garford St. Poplar. Mr. Stutz was living at 14, Albert Road, 38, Finsbury Park. He then was employed by Messrs. Happe & Co., Fenchurch St. E.C. (Drugs etc.). He was informed through the Swiss Mercantile Society in London of an overseas Vacancy in Hong-kong. He went to Rotterdam to see the firm on August 1st. and returned to England after a visit of 2 days. He was engaged and started on September 1st. in Rotterdam. After 3 weeks he proceeded to Switzerland to say good bye to his family and sailed from Marseilles on October 9th.\n\n5.\n\nHis frequent visits to Rotterdam may have excited suspicion, also the relationship of Ingenohl with the German", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-425 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 485515, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-464 - Public Offices - 1920", "page_number": 457, "title": "CO129-464 - Public Offices - 1920", "content_text": "XO 201350R\n\nPAL\n\n20608\n\nOS V\n\n-TJIÐMBIJNOR\n\nZsúwajqət sưë add to testal zuby os nonetsler di IM QTOLMÁ LA NOýrobban ki, orzo Izad yd Dedosnih se I,Jasi *** *.
