[5] Included in “Miscellaneous.”
These tables are not so readily comparable as they should be for
scientific exactness. The items included under “Travelling” and
“Holidays” need to be enumerated. Under the latter head, for instance,
are board and lodging included and are railway fares subtracted and
placed under “Travelling”? As a fact No. 1 and No. 2 include under
“Board and Lodging” only the cost incurred during the school terms;
under the head of “Travelling” is only counted the cost of going to
school from home and their daily travelling expenses during the school
term. The money put down under “Holidays” includes their expenses for
the part of their holidays during which they were not at home. The
same is, I believe, true in the case of No. 3, but I do not know for
what length of time any of them were subsidised by this free board and
lodging at home.
On the other hand, No. 4’s accounts are so summarised that the cost of
“Holidays” disappears altogether, being broken up into its constituents
of board, lodging, travelling fares and amusements. The confusion in
this case is remedied in the following detailed table supplied by No. 4.
