fullest intent; but for the parliamentary aid which they
bad received. During the Met ten years, from the year 1839
there wee this feet to be Peered, that the sum lli
voted, beginning with 30,00 W ,wss never actually expanded,
but there was always a balsam left in hand, which bad ac-
cusal- tad during the period compared in that ten year
Since that period the reverse bad been the case, and the
expenditure had exceeded the 1 votes, the deficit
being supplied by the cuepproprlsted balances of the same
provided by parliament in each year. The inference to be
drawn was, that the discussion which bad taken place on
this sniject on the occasion of motions which had been
brought forward, and on the estimates for *duration, bad
tended to increase the appropriation of the par
'tweeter, grente which had been vital in aid
of the voluetary;efforts which had been made towards
this important object. The vote last year wee 398,9211.,
and this pier it amounted to 461,2181. He should show
what the expenditure had been, by mean, et • comparative
table, which showed what bad been expended in each year
under the following heads, samely—school buildings, pupil
teachers, Ques'a acholare, certificated master and min
trees's, etsdirite in training selsorls, and inspector. He
should also show the number of children in schools at the
time of examination, and the per mutate of children above
tea years of age In the sehoole. The table comprised a
period of ale year, beginning with 1860, and endue with
1866. The eapenditue in that period wee es follows :—ln
1850-1, 193.0261. 6e. 85.; 1861-2, 164,8131. 17s, 7d.;
1852-3, 188.8561. 12% 4d. ; 1863-4, 260,6581. 18e. 3d. ;

The ezpeadtare in last year wee lees in point of amount
then the sum voted by parliament' but that arose from the
money having not been yet aetsally expended. Bet the
Committee of Privy Council was pledged to make grids
which would require the whole of the sum voted. The
number of school buildings in each year woe es follows :
In the first year 286, and the following years reapeetively
205,232,273, 312, 414. The number of pupil Webers was:
in the first year, 4.680, and I. each sucerive year, 6,607,
8,180, 7,007, 7,988, and 8,624. That thawed the pupil-
teachers composed a much larger number in let year
than he any former years. The umber of Queen's scholars
we.: in the tea years Tespostfuly, 39,144, 331, 783, 929,
and 972. The camber of students in training schools wee :
in therms years, 206, 506, 626, 883, 1,132, 1,264. The
number of certificated masters and mistresses wee: is
1860-1, 960; 1861 2, 1,173; 1862 3, 1,720; 1863-4,
2,297 ; 1864 6, 2,838 ; 1866 6, 3,482. The number of
inspectors had increased, and the respeetive number
for each year were :19,19, 22, 29, 82,38. The number of
schools under moire?' teachers inspected were I. each year
3.098, 3,114,3,9 M, 4,341, 6,676, and 6,966. The number
of ebildren prime' at examinations in each year were,
214,873, 266,888, 364,442, 360,777, 473,214, and 689,076.
The per merge of 'lnlet/en above ten years of age at-
tending the schools, he we sorry to Bey, bad slightly de-
e:eased, and was as follows : for the first year, 37.17 and
for the sums ding years, 38.76,39.29, 38 OD, 31 24,ead 33.44.
The number of inspectors, that is of what were called het
M-jeety's Murders of school,, was exclusive of five tapes

*massive of 600 workhouse schools. Thor figure, folly
sad coarseively show the great advantages derived from
the parliamentary grant, in aid of education, and It was
shows not only is the inanate of the number
of schools, but much more by the increase of
the numbers and of the advance is the qualifications
of the masters and mistresses. In the present year, is
order to meet the inereareg demand and to provide for new
headset expenditure there was an excess of 64,0001. over the
vote of last year. That Geese, was comprised under
several heads. In grant number three in the estimate for
the annual rises& of pupil teachers and gratuities to
schoolmasters and ethoolmistreare Wettest's, them there
was an reruns in the vote of the present year over that of
last year by a sum of 10,0601. In grant number five for the
augmentation of the salaries of school masters and school-
mistresses woo had obtained certificates of merit, and where
schools bad been f My reported on by her Majesty's is-
electors, there was an increase of 10.0001. lathe preentlear.
For the grant to assistant rebore there was an addition ei
1,0001. in the ear; and grant No. 12 was a new one, being
a sem of 10,0001. for industrial schools. Hader the first
heed, in greet No. 3. then was so need of explauatiee of
the ineressed vote, as it was simply caused by the proper-

there we every ream to hope that, from the great body of
pupil teacher, many found their way into schools as
meters and mYteeree, and beers, the advantages derived
by themselves, these pupil teachers entered as important
emietants in the diffusion of edusatios. In Jane, 1866, a
paper its this subject was moved for by the he,. member for
Bbefileld,and ens heed of that rattan was the number of pupil
teachers and stipendiary monitor, who bad not remained la
the normal school,. The number wee 79,788, as we under-
