PUBLIC EDUCATION.

L'We have now before us an Account (which was ordered to
Printed by the House of Commons, 25th May, 1835) of all
L.lltas granted in aid of the Erection of Schools in England
'1 Scotland, and of Model Schools in England.
X 20,000 was voted last year (7th March, 1834) for these
ejects, of which 19,8521. 14s. have been appropriated by the
his of the Treasury, on the principle that the number of
molars proposed to be educated shall be in the proportion of
teh
till° to every 1/. applied for. A priority in the distribution of
Le. grant appears to have been given to towns where the popu-
'tlon is stated to exceed 5,000 inhabitants.
Ey a statement of applications for aid in the erection of
„
"`:titrll-houses, now before the Treasury which have not been
i°4liilled with, the amount granted by Parliament being ex-
:listed, as before stated, it appears that 25,3661. is asked for,
is something less than half the estimated expense of
ilding. The total number of applications not complied with
e2tdprehends a population of 1,283,291, and the number of
'"olars, is stated at 37,510.
