Reading edition
See pp. 174-176. In 1908, England and Wales spent £21,987,004 on elementary education, and raised £10,467,804 for it in rates. Of the rest, £11,104,305 came from Parliamentary grants. Fees and endowment incomes of voluntary schools are not included (Statistical Abstract of United Kingdom, 1910).
The actual Parliamentary Votes, as they appear in the accounts for 1910-11, are: England (Class IV.), "Board of Education," £14,166,500; Scotland, "Public Education," £2,250,000; Ireland, "Public Education," £1,632,000. But the English Votes include sums devoted to technical education, museums, etc., whose counterparts in Ireland come under other departments.
