For the college I propose a staff consisting of a Principal, who shall be also Professor of
Logic and History; one Assistant Professor of English Literature and Mathematics; one As-,
sistant Professor of Physical Science and Mathematics; and one Assistant Professor of Arabic
and Persian.
The cost of the college as so constituted would be R15,000 yearly, thus :—

I have reckoned the salary of the Principal at R 750 per mensem, the maximum pay of
the fourth class of the Education Service. Some margin would, of course, have to be allowed
here to meet the increased expenditure whidh would arise On the promotion of the Principal to
higher classes.
The following statement shows the present constitution of .the Anglo-Persian department
of the collegiate school, and the modification which, at the instance of the Officiating Princi-
pal, I recommend should be made in if. You will observe that here there will be a slio-ht
saving of R165 per mensem, or Rl,980 per annum.

This slight increase of R8-13-4 per mensem, or R970 per annum, which I propose
m the office establishment of the madrissa, comes under the heads of librarian, peons, durwans,
malis, contingencies, library, and laboratory allowances. The Librarian would act as assistant
clerk, and have charge of both the English and the Arabic libraries. The new residence for the
Principal would necessitate the entertainment of another durwan and another mali. The
present contingent allowance of R50 hardly suffices for the present Anglo-Persian and
