Notes and Comments. VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTIONS AND STATB AID. SOME time before the proposal to grant additional Sttte aid to Voluntary Schools became a burning question, there was a bulky Blue-book published, giving the balance sheet of every Voluntary School in England and WaleQ, one important item specially set out being the amount received from voluntary subscriptions and church and chapel collections. This information is increased in value by the amount of voluntary aid being calculated at per head of the children attending eaoh school. In view of the action which the Governmer t is expectcd to take with regard to the Voluntary Schools, the proportions of State and voluntary aid are just now matters of great interest, and as no later return is likely to be I issued on this poid, we give the figures applying to hlS School District from the return issued in 1894. The book from which we quote, containing over 800 closely-printed folio pages, occupied a considerable time in compilation, consequently the statistics it gives are only brought doam to the year ended August 31st, 1893, but as the figures do not vary I much from year to year, one twelve-month is as good as another for purposes of comparison. Even in 20 yeara the variation has not been great, as shown by be following ratio of school income per head from 1873 to 1893:- School Income per head. Yean.
