In witness whereof I have caused this Commission-to be issued on this twenty-third day. of September, 1861, under the public seal of the Settlement of the Cape of Good Hope. By command of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor administering the Government.
R. SCUTHEY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Resolution passed by the Honourable the Legislative Council, 8th August, 1861.
“That in the opinion of this Council it is desirable that from and after the close of the present year, all ‘grants for educational purposes should undergo revision, and that His Excellency the Governor’s attention should be directed thereto.”

I have determined to appoint a Commission to inquire into the present state of the established schools in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, and into the conditions on which grants of money are made from the colonial treasury in aid of the salaries of teachers of schools not on the establishment; and to consider and report what measures, if any, it might be desirable to adopt for the extension of sound elementary instruction to all classes of the people.
