TABLE L1.—Inmates, 1905 and 1906.

The number in residence at Government schools was 343, and at private schools' 317, so that 660 was the total number actually in residence. The number boarded out on payment was 684, 7 being from private schools and the rest from Government schools. There were 11 girls maintained in various corrective institutions, 1 girl in hospital, 2 boys at the School for Deaf-mutes, Sumner, and 12 boys at the Costley Training Institution, Auckland. The total number of inmates dependent on public funds for maintenance was therefore 1,370, or 124 more than the number at the end of 1905. The remaining 705, although still subject to the control and supervision of the schools, were not dependent on them for maintenance. In Table L 2 is shown the cost of the Government schools, in which is included the expenditure for the maintenance of inmates boarded out and the salaries of the resident staffs and medical officers ; it also shows the cost of supervision of all inmates who are licensed to reside away from the schools ; and, further, the amounts of the recoveries from Charitable Aid Boards, from persons against whom orders for maintenance have been made, and from the sale of farm-produce, &c. The total amount contributed by parents towards the maintenance of their children was £3,477 Bs. 6d., being at the rate of £2 10s. 9d. per head of the total number of children (1,370) maintained at the public cost.

TABLE L2.—Expenditure on Government Schools, 1906.

Table L.3 shows the payments made by the Government on account of inmates in private industrial schools, the recoveries, and the net expenditure by Government.
