prizes for literature are undel' the direct control of the Minister. Other
Departments contribute also to the furtherance of education in the

annually the schoois of agriculture, dairy, veterinal'Y and domestic
science schools; the Depart.ment of Lands and Forests provides for the
maintenance of forestry and paper ma.king schools and specially encour-
ages forest researches while the Department of Public Works and Labor
granls the funds required for the maintenance of cer·t.ain schools. Ot.her
minor expenses in connection with education are charged to "Miscell-
aneous Generally".
The contributions mentiol1ed in t.able 53 are not the only amounts
expended for the maintenance of the schools. To ascertain the exact. .suru
