The Chairman.-I imagine not, because the Government does not insure. It is held to be cheaper in the long run for the Government to carry its own insurance.

The Chairman.-I think it ap- plies to everything.

The Chairman-I think only in connexion with the selection of teachers. I might say that the Committee is preparing the issue called the publication of "Colonial Educational Bulletin" which will keep all the different Colonics advised of what is going on in the educational world in other places.

Hon. Mr. R. H. Kote wall. I take it, Sir, they would be prepared to give us such advice as we need?

Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton.-Do I understand that there is what may b described as a "ring" in this kind of work?

The Chairman.-I cannot tell off hand why one particular thing is insured and others not. As a general rule in all Government business, the Government carries its own insurance. Apparently certain odd things are insured by the Crown Agents.

provided by the extra sallings Empress of Japan's maiden voyage will increase the fleet's total accom modation by 1,500 passengers.

There have been many bookings for passage on the Empress of Ja- pan's maiden trip,"

"Mr. Forster pointed out," and when she sails from Liverpool in June a record-breaking passenger list can be expected."
