ll.—Extract from the Twenty-fifth Annual Eepoet of the Minister of Education. By a vote of last session a sum of £3,000 was granted for subsidies to public libraries; the same amount was voted for distribution in 1900-1. The method of distribution of the vote for 1901-2 was the same as that adopted in the previous year, as follows : A nominal addition of £25 was made to the amount of the income of each library derived from subscriptions, donations, and rates, provided that the receipts for the year were not less than £2, and the vote was divided according to the amount thus augmented; but no library received credit for a larger income than £75 —that is, in no case did the augmented amount on which distribution was based exceed £100. In accordance with a Gazette notice of the 20th November, 1901, the day appointed for the distribution of the subsidy was the Bth February, 1902, and the amount of the vote was divided among the 369 libraries from which applications, each accompanied by a statutory declaration on the proper form, had been received. The vote, as thus dealt with, afforded a subsidy of 3s. 10 - 25 d. in the pound of the nominal income, and the subsidies ranged from .£l9 ss. sd. to £5 4s. 6d. Some libraries supplied with the proper form failed to send in formal claims by the 31st January, 1902, the date fixed by the Gazette notice, and did not therefore participate in the vote. The number of libraries participating in the vote shows an increase of twenty over the number aided in the previous year. In order that the purpose intended to be served by the vote may be attained, it is made a condition for participation that the whole of the subsidy granted to each library in the previous year shall have been expended in the purchase of books. The following table shows the distribution according to education districts : —
