TEACHERS' SALARIES.
EXPENSIVE EDUCATION.
PROPOSED PAYMENTS "FAR TOC

In the following article "Lux" continues, his review of the educational system of the Colony, and quotes (with comments). aome of the proposals made by the Salaries Commission as affect- ing the Education Department:--

to
Non-British Stai "For Anglo-Chinese, and uncular Masters we recommend
rising 80,000 by 3 annual increments 5 of $150 of $150, 2 of 8300, and 15 of 8200, and for university- trained graduate teachers 81,800 to 80.000 by 8 annus! increments of $150 and 15 of 8200."
is at present one post only of Senior Master, though the staff has expanded greatly since that post was made. We consider that there should be three posts of Senior Masters од a fixa scale of ed salary of £1,050 per annum. There reisin abave these posts the two Head Masters of Queen's and King's Colleges and the two In- spectors of English schools. For these posts we recommend a scale of £1,100 per annum, rising by £30 annually to £1,300."
"
NOTE. The starting salaries and the maximum salaries are unnecessarily high if the whole. of the salary is to be paid at the rate of exchange now pre- vailing. At any rate of ex- change the suggested sterling salaries would easily bear a little reduction. The Colony, cannot afford to pay such salaries when its return, in fees in Government schools and its taxation is so small. Further, is it necessary to pay such large salaries to men who often do very elementary: work. Why not employ more local staf; this applies also to English lady teachers.
Inspectors.
"The Senior Inspectors of vernacular schools are at present on the same scale as the European. Masters. We consider these posts carry a greater responsibility than the junior masters, and recommend therefore that their scale should be £600 per annum, rising by 12 an- nual increments of £30 and 1 of £40 to £1,000. For the junior In- spectors of vernacular schools we suggest that a scale of $3,200, rising: by $200 annually to $3,600, would be adequate."
NOTE. If these Senior Inspec... tors are Chinese there is no need a maximum salary, to give, as more than £600 per annum, or at the most £700.
Mistressas.
3. "The Europeza Mistresses are on one scale, commencing on £300 per annum and ending, after 25 years service, at £600. There are at present no senior posts, and no posts of Head Mistresses to which they can aspire. We con- sider that in this respect the posi
Mistresses compares tion of the unfavourably with that of the Mas ters, and that provision should now be made for senior posts and for a post of Head Mistress of Belilos Public School, a position Lof considerable responsibility. For the Junior Mistresses we can con sider a suitable scale would be £360 per annum rising by £20 an nually to £700; we recommend that there should be four senior posts. on a fixed salary of £750, and that the Head Mistress of Belilios Pub- lie School should be on a scale of £800 per annum, rising by £30 an- nually to £050."
NOTE (1) The Colony cannot afford such salaries, and could get teachers for less.
(2) Government schools "should not employ highly-paid lady tea chers in its lower classes to teach very elementary work. The staff of about sixty English lady tea- chers could and should he reduc- ed. In their stead local Eurasian. and Anglo Chinese teachera should be employed at salaries of about thirty to sixty per cent. of these salaries.
Home and Local Teachers,
NOTE-A maximum of 88,000 per annum for a vernacular Mas ter is extravagant and unneces sary. $3,000, or at the most $4,000, would be ample.

NOTE The Vornacular Mis- tresses maximum salaries appear to be high. I wonder what they get in Canton; about half these maxima, I should think.

PLOT SUGGESTED,

** Vernacular Middlę School... The Head Teacher should be on the scale suggested for European Mastora, namely, £500 rising to £950 per annum by 5 annual increments of £30, of £80, and 6 of £30 and the Vernacular!

The Master (Art Master) should re- ecive, as before, 8480 per annum and the part-time lecturer 81,920.

and the three were again remand- ed.
NOTE-The Head Teacher' maximum of £950 is far too high. What do business-men think of these vernacular salaries, that is, salaries for Chinese teachers. non-Government schools could never afford to pay these salaries unless their grants are increas ed to about foar or five times their present figures.
Conclusion.
rough
In the whole matter tha Govern- ment should prepare Budget showing (1) What the Education Department will cost in ten years' time when the increased pensions begin. (2) How these new scales are likely to affect con-Gov- ernment schools, and how much the Government may be justly ex-

The prosecution alleged that the two men, in the guise of electricians, obtained entry to the flat, bound and gagged the two servants, and then bound and gagged Miss King, who was asleep in bed, and robbed her flat.
