(11) The Commission does not recommend any extension of the present length of the 
course of training. 
(12) The Commission considers the existing syllabuses for the training courses to be 
suitable, and. it recommends that they remain unaltered for the present in order to be 
thoroughly tested. . 
(13) The Commission urges full provision in the training institutions of facilities for the 
effective carrying out of the manual and housecraft portions of the syllabus. 
EMOLUMENTS OF TEACHERS. 
(14) The Commission recommends that the scales of teachers’ salaries, now in operation, 
should "be reconsidered, with a view to a possible improvement of the commencing rates. 
especially in the larger urban areas. 
(15) The Commission also recommends that the Administration should make provision 
for annual increments for all teachers in coloured schools. 
(16) The Commission further recommends that the Administration should be asked to 
take the necessary steps for the consolidation of the salary and good service allowance of 
ccloured teachers, and for the introduction of a proper pension scheme. 
Scroor. CURRICULA. 
. (17) The Commission considers the present curriculum for coloured primary schools 
generally satisfactory, and accordingly recommends no change in it. It, however, is of 
opinion that modifications of the syllabus, similar to those allowed for single and two- 
teacher European schools, should be provided for coloured schools. 
(18) The Commission is strongly of opinion that there should be no differentiation 
between the curricula for coloured and European secondary schools. 
The coloured secondary pupil will normally take one of the more practical courses, 
but the few pupils who desire to take an academic course should have the opportunity of 
doing so.

(19) The Commission finds that in the fourth quarter of 1925 the coloured children 
enrolled in the schools of the Province represented 40.3 per cent. of the coloured child popu- 
lation between the ages of six and fifteen, as determined by the census return for 1921. 
In the Cape Town and. suburban area the proportion of coloured children enrolled was 
approximately 70 per cent. of the child population for that area. 
The Commission considers that it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the 
children who require to be brought into school in the urban areas to find school places, 
anless means be found for providing the capital sums necessary for the erection of school 
buildings by the churches and other recognised voluntary bodies. 
(20) The Commission recommends, therefore, that the Provincial Administration should 
endeavour to arrange with the Union Government for the granting to the Administration 
as required of loans for coloured schools under the management of church bodies, over and 
above the sum made available each year for publie undenominational schools. 
_ ‘Such loans could be allocated by the Administration to the church bodies and organisa- 
tions on terms distinctly advantageous to those bodies, and at the same time a reduction 
would be effected in the rate of interest at present being paid by the Administration. 
The interest and redemption instalments necessary to repay loans on a 5 per cent. 
basis; (which is the rate of interest now being charged by the Unior Government on 
advances for school buildings), instalments payable half-yearly, are:— 
Forty year loans … … … … … £516 2 per cent. per annum. 
Thirty year loans ... ... ... ... ... £6 9 § per cent. per annum, 
Twenty-five year loans ... ... ... ... £7 1 0 per cent. per annum. 
Twenty year loans ... ... ... ... ... £719 4 per cent. per annum. 
Any advances made by the Union Government to the Province would be redeemed, with 
interest, at these rates, assuming that the rate of interest of five per cent. will continue. 
(21) The Commission suggests that loans made available by the Administration to 
church bodies should be issued free of interest, and that the capital sums should be repaid 
by the borrowers at the following rates—the periods which may be considered most suitable 
varying according to the life of the asset and the ability of the church body to pay :— 
Forty year loans ... ... ... ... 1 per cent. per annum for 40 yesrs. 
Thirty year loans ... ... ... ... i} per cent. per annum for 30 years 
Twenty-five year loans … … 21 per cent. per annum for 25 years. 
[wenty vear loans ... ... ... 3 per cent. per annum for 20 vears.
