the salaries and rent are deducted from the gross cost of the institutions (£16,512), the outlay for the year is £12,826; and if this sum he divided by the average number of children in residence and. boarded out, which is 676, the average cost by this method of calculation appears to be rather less than£l9. The local school at the Thames is maintained by the local authorities. The children at private schools have cost the Government about .£2OO less than in the year 1890, their number being somewhat reduced, and the amount of the recoveries being somewhat increased.
