The number on the roll and the average number in attendance—2,l47 and 2,019 respectively—are a very little higher than the corresponding numbers (2,120 and 2,004) for the preceding year, so that the scale appears at last to have turned, and it may be hoped that there is an end to the steady decline observable for several previous years. The principal income of the schools consisted of about £18,500 derived from school fees, and about £25,400 from endowments. The amount expended in salaries was a little over £30,000.
