TABLE X.—Government Expenditure On Private Schools, 1892.

The Auckland Industrial School for Boys at Kohimarama has—from some cause or causes not exactly known —been dwindling for some years. The Costley Institute was intended to relieve this school of the care of its most promising inmates, and is accomplishing its purpose (see separate paper, E.-3a). The number of commitments to the school of late years has been very small. The capitation cost of a very small school is necessarily very high, and from that point of view is obnoxious to adverse criticism. On all grounds it has been deemed expedient to close the school, the few inmates that could not be suitably disposed of in Auckland being transferred to Burnham. The institution is not,, however, abolished; the manager of the Auckland Girls' Industrial School has been made manager also of the boys' school, and is therefore the legal guardian of the Kohimarama inmates now at service, or boarded out, or licensed to their friends.
