substantially correct. To speak further oi
them would be merely to waste words.
In several of the non- Catholic institutions
the expenditures for salaries were almost
as great as those for charity. In more than
one instance it was discovered that several
members of one family made a comfortable
living as officers and hangers on of mis-
called charitable societies, and kept up the
societies mainly to make o living out of
them. The same scandalous abuse still
exists, though possibly not to the same
extent. Professional charity mongers are
never found connected with Catholic ipsti-
tutions. They would not be tolerated .
moment.
Educational statistics bear the same tes-
timony to Catholic economy. There are
some 10000 children educated in the paro-
chiai schools of New York, at an average
cost of about $40 each. Not to mention
the moral and spiritual training, the secu-
lar education in come of these schools is
not surpassed in any of the much Wanted
public schools. The attendance in the
public schools of New York in 1876 (the
returns for 1877 are not available) was
l2l ,73o. The cost of public education in
that year WAS So, $40 ,14l. This is u fraction
under $50 for each pupil. The item of
teachers salaries alone was Sc, ,439 COG, or
$50 for each child. The expenditures
under the head of buildings, repairs and
supplies in the public schools amounted
to $40 for each pupil, or exactly the total
cost of education in the parochial schools.
1t is needless to go into any explanation
of facts and figures which tell their own
story 30 plainly. They are not presented
fer any iaEidiens purpose, but simply to
exhibit the truth on an important subject.
A etndy of them may possible be profitable
to some of our non Catholic friends.

THE RELATITE COST OF CATHOLIC .4ND
OTHER CHARITIES.
Boston Pilot.

Vicar-General Preston, of New York,
calls attention to the remarkable difference
in the cost of charities conducted by Catho-
lies and those conducted by Protestant
societies, or by the State. The contrast is
full of significarc ce, and deserves closer
study than the subject commonly receives.
The New York Catholic Protectory, for
instance, an institution partly supported
by the State, but under the control of a
Catholic board of managers, cared for ,259
children, in 1877, at total cost of $l93, ,2Sl.
Z A simple calculation shows this to be at
the rate of $s6 80 for each child. The
amount paid in salaries during the same
year was SIS, 1856 or about 3 per cent. of the
whole.
In striking contrast with this is the
exhibit of the House of Refuge, an institu-
ton of exactly the same general character.
The House of Refuge is nomnafly State
establishment, but it's management ia
entirely in the hands of a society which
calls itself non sectarian, and contradicts
this profession by exhibiting the narrowest
Puritanism. The number of children in
the House in 1877 was 933. The expendi
lures were $ll7, ,SS2, and of this sum S37,-
600 was paid in salaries. The children in
the House of Refuge, therefore, cost S167, ,67
per head, and the salaries absorbed almost
twenty five per cent. of the whole amount
Expended.
The Protectory was established for Cath
0llc children of a class that had previously
been sent to the House of Refuge. If the
2,259 children who were in the Protectory
IN 1877 bad been in the Refuge instead,
ehe cost of their support on the scale above
given, would have been S375, AIS, and the
salary list would have reached 100000.
These figures surely need no comment.
But more significant still are the statis-
glcs OF aggregate expenditure, under the
bead OF charity, in New York. We have
Deen at some pains to get at the truth on
ehis point. Some three years ago a stir
was made in the metropolis over abuses in
pertain so-called charitable institutions,
bud it led to the collection of statistics
rom the reports of the various societies.
There may have been some slight change
ince, but not enough to materially modify
the exhibit then made. An analysis of the
Thole gives these results
The sum of 90, ,63l 900 was expended by
institutions, including hospitals,
nomes, asylums, reformatories, etc. Among
Ehese were I3 Catholic institutions, and
their share of the whole amount was
S95O,UOO. The total cost of administering
the 127icharities was $4,000 Of this sum
the Catholics spent in salaries, etc., $2s, 500,
or exactly per cent of their entire
Expenditure The non- Catholic societies
and corporations, therefore, administered
81, ,682 600, their share of the whole, at a
cost of S464 800, or within fraction of 80
per cent. The figures here given are
