To-day 'the supply is greater than the demand, and parents are beginning to realise that the son of a shop-keeper, for example, may have to seek his living in his father's shop. even though he has done well at an English school. With the spread of English education. knowledge of that language will cease to be an Open Sesame to fortune, or even to a livelihood, and one of the gravest-problems to- day is to devise for the coming generation types of Instruction fitting the young of Malaya for such careers as the country offers.

Financial considerations do not at present justify a reduction of the fees, but the Government will consider the matter when circumstances permit. Generally it may be said that the intention is to use on the development of elementary education' such additional funds as may be available from year to year." This is altogether too vague.
