The reasons why the necessary supplementary reduction, to balance the increased expenditure involved in enlarging the educational scope of the Code, had to be applied principally to the capitation-grant of Chinese schools are these. "The comparative earning power ($2.29 per scholar) of English schools, which cost the Managers annually $38.76 per scholar, was hitherto out of proportion with the earning power ($4.80 per scholar) of Chinese schools which cost the Managers annually only $6.90 per scholar. But to reduce the values of passes in the several standards of Chinese schools sufficiently to answer the purpose of equalizing that abnormality was impossible as the addition of new work (Arithmetic) in all those standards absolutely required a certain monetary stimulus. The capitation grant, being in 1892 equal in all classes of schools ($1 per scholar), amounted to $2,806.35 in Chinese schools, and $967.75 in English schools. The Romanized Chinese schools (13 in number) with a capitation-grant of $117.21 might be left out of consideration. The anomaly of giving the same capitation grant to all schools, without regard to the comparative value of the education given, especially in those cheap Chinese schools, would therefore be rectified by reducing the capitation grant of Chinese schools.
