Mr. LINFIELD
asked the President of the Board of Education the number of Roman Catholic elementary schools in the County of Cumberland; the total number of scholars educated in them; and the average cost per scholar?
Mr. E. WOOD
The latest complete figures which I possess are those for the year 1921–22. They are as follow:
| Roman Catholic Public Elementary Schools. | ||
| Number of Schools. | Average Number on the Registers. | |
| Area under County Council | 10 | 2,151 |
| Whitehaven Borough | 1 | 871 |
| Workington Borough | 2 | 765 |
| Carlisle County Borough | 3 | 867 |
| Total | 16 | 4,654 |
I have no information to show the cost of maintaining individual schools or groups of schools. The total net cost of elementary education in the areas of the local education authorities in Cumberland for the year 1921–22 represents, per unit of average attendance in public elementary schools:
| £ | s. | d. | |
| In the County Area | 10 | 19 | 11 |
| In Whitehaven | 10 | 4 | 2 |
| In Workington | 9 | 5 | 9 |
| In Carlisle | 12 | 12 | 7 |
