A GENERAL STATISTICAL ABSTRACT.-Continued. No. 10 11 12 13 14 16 17 An approximation only-no specific information having been received by the Department. † A decrease-caused by the institution of an Entrance Examination for the Grammar Schools. Including Normal and Model Schools, &c., from 1855. Including holidays and vacations. Principally taken from 1860-no report being received since. Balances due but not collected were included until 1858, but from that date Nos.18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24, represent actual payments only. If we add to the Grand Total (24,) the unexpended balances, we should have an available sum of $1,670,024 for Educational purposes during 1861; and for 1860, $1.615,670-the increase in 1861 being $54,354. **Academies included until 1851. *** Academies not included until 1851. NOTE.-The Returns in the foregoing Table, up to the year 1847, are not very complete; but since that period they have been sufficiently so as to establish data by which to compare our yearly progress in Educational matters The Returns are now pretty extensive, and embrace all Institutions of Learning, from the Common School up to the University. |
