The Acting Superintendent of Education submitted to the Educa. tion Board at its recent meeting further report. on the Council's Normal School showing a total enrolment of 60 for the current term and stating that fees from 85 external, students amounting to {$520 had been received. The unusually large enrolment had nocessitated the engagement of four additional lecturers. As it was now two weeks since the courses of study began, members endorsed his recommendation that no additional students be admitted 'A member suggested that so far as external students were concerned the comparatively low fees in force at this school should apply only to those who took the whole cour and that those who enrolled only for the purpose of improving their knowledge of English should be required to pay a higher fee.
In view of the opinion expressed by the Acting Superintendent that presumably the considerably higher enrolment this term was due to the publicity given to the activities of this school by the Press Information Officer, the Chairman's suggestion was adopted that no change be made in the fees until the demand for the facilities provided by the school was more firmly established, They agreed, however, as to the desirability of the facilities afforded by this, school being brought to the notice the Council's schools ior foreign children.
