year we have 900. which Is equiva-
lent to about $S,OOO.0O0 in your money. The
larger amount, which is about E1,25O.OO0.
goes to the payment OF the salaries of
teachers; the next for the construction of
new buildings and repairs; the next item
is for the maintenance OF central model
schools. which are object lessons. The rate
of expenditure per pupil is about 93, or
SIS. a year. and has been gradually in
creasing from time to time with the al
lowances that have been given Us by the
government. Ten years ago the allow
anse for primary education was about
E1.2JO.OOO. or $6,2JOOOO in American
money, and the per capita was about
$3.50.
Number and Average Attendance.
There are now about 5000 primary
schools in Ireland. with 10000 teachers
and an average daily attendance Of 400, 600
out of a school population enrolled of
100 900.

Der and the average daily attendance at
the different schools:

les .................. 164.O4S 2 6
The average daily attendance seems
very small, and is due to several reasons:
First, the lack Of accommodations and the
long distances between schoolhouses in
the thinly settled sections along the west
coast of Ireland. where some families are
many miles from a schoolhouse, and
where the children have no means OF
conveyance to reach them. In all the
poorer sections Of the country. where the
men of the family go off to England or
stay at home and look after the place.
They take care OF the cows and the sheep
and the pigs. Many parents make their
children work where the compulsory edu-
cation and the child labor laws are not
enforced. In the factory towns of north
ern Ireland the laws prohibit children
under eleven years old working. and they
are pretty well enforced.

The Catholic families prefer to send their
girls to be taught by the nuns. And about
10000 boys are in the monasteries.
Every teacher is required to pass an
examination prepared by the commission
er Of education as test of his or her
qualifications, and the teacher Is respon-
sible to the educational department for
the enforcement of the rules and the APP
plication Of the methods Of instruction
that have received it's Endorsement. But.
as a rule. the teachers are nominated by
the priests of the Roman Catholic Church
or the clergy of the Church OF Ireland
or those of the nom conformist churches,
as the case may be. The consequence Is
that there have to be separate schools for
each denomination. which naturally adds
to the cost of maintenance In two-thirds
Of the schools however. you Will hnd
both Protestant and Catholic children.
Any sect that can furnish twenty pupils
can have a school Of their own, to run 1t
as they like at the expense Of the gov
eminent and select their own teachers
provided the persons selected demon
strate their qualifications by submitting
to the regular examinations.
No Religious PROSECUTING.
Religious instruction. prayer and other
exercises Of worship may take place be-
fore and after the ordinary school hours,
during which all the children Of what
ever denomination may attend, but the
regular school business cannot be inter-
rupted or suspended for any religious in
struction or worship. or any arrangement
that will interfere with its usefulness or
cause pupils any inconvenience in at
tendance.
mo pupil who Is registered as Pro
testant is permitted to remain in attend
ance during the time of religious instruc-
ton in case the teacher is a. Roman
Catholic: and no pupil who is registered
as a Roman Catholic can remain in at
tendance during religious instruction by a
teacher who Is not a Roman Catholic;
and. further. no pupil can remain in at
tendance during any religious instruction
whatever If his parents or guardians OBJ
ject A public notification Of the hours of
religious instruction must be made III

tiers for the information of the public as
we'll as the pupils. No schoolroom can
be connected with any place of worship:
no religious emblems or emblems Of po-
schoolroom. and no inscription which con-
tains the name Of any religious denomina-
ton.
Thus we have. as you will see. all
points guarded against religious proselyt-
ing. Monks and nuns are eligible as
teachers If they pass the examinations.
