"But now all that is being altered, for the fathers themselves are listening regu- larly to lectures. The scheme started at Kensington in 1920. One of the infant welfare centres was a little hard-up, and fathers, recognising the value of it, organised an entertainment.
They met in committee at the end of their day's work, and the effort was so successful that the fathers resolved to continue their association in order to help welfare work in any other way that was possible.

No less than £36,827,708 of the Board's expenditure is to be incurred in paying grants to the local education authorities. It is estimated that these authorities will expend £66,400,000 on elementary educa- tion, and on an average attendance of 3,020,000 this will represent an outlay of £11 12 11 per child. On higher education their expenditure is estimated at £1,500,000. The gross expenditure per pupil in 1924-25 was £27 128.. but this was reduced by fees averaging £7 138. to £10 195. It is estimated that of the 387,290 pupils in the schools on October 1st, 1825, 921,295 paid fèes and 145-995 did not.

It has been found by experience that the number of children aged 7 on the rolls of public elementary schools tends every year to approximate closely to 15KING EDWARD per cent of the number of births in the seventh year before. For some time past, however, there has been a steady increase in the proportion of children surviving the first seven years of life, and if this increase continues it may be expected that the percentage of enrolments to hirtha will in future years rise above 75.
As a result of the decreases in the num ber of births since 1910 there will, for the next few years, be a considerable fall in the number of older children. Thus in 100 the children on the rolls of public elementary schools aged 11 to 14 (born 1916 to 1918) are unlikely to exceed
