These Schools are to be looked after by the Committee of this Commission under the control of the Director of Education. Meantime, I suggest that these be started first, whereas Compulsory Education is to be carefully considered later.
It is said that there are about 30,000 children who need education, and if this number is correct and Compulsory Education is introduced, a sum of about two million dollars is needed.
To pay rent for 1 flat per year
To pay salary for 1 teacher per year
To pay salary for 1 servant per year.. To pay books, etc. for 30 students at $1
pay for Boarding for 30 students at $36..

When Compulsory Education is actually introduced we must also pay for the boarding of the children, because they cannot spare time to work and earn their living. Even if this item, the amount to be paid for their boarding is not included, a sum of at least $870,000 a year would be required.
