"Report from Ramseyer on the Questions how much Help should be given to Catechists over the Transport of their Possession when they are moved and over the Question of their holidays"

He has been in the habit of allowing the costs of 8-10 loads for younger catechists, and 10-12 loads for older ones. This allows them to take provisions with them, salt, parrafin, mattresses. Any child is allocated one load. He would like also a rule of four weeks holiday, and since this is regularly extended by 4-8 days without permission a clause to be inserted in the regulations allowing a pro rata reduction of the monthly payment involved. He also suggests that for people working in a community it should be made clear that holidays are a concession – given willingly it is true - and not a right. Too many catechists etc. take off for Akwapim without getting prior permission.
