However, during the past year the school at Bay Mills, Mich., has been discon-tinued, and no contract mas made therefor, which leaves only one Prot. extant contract school in existence. In order to arrive at the amount which, in the judgment of this office, should be set aside to the Cath-olic contract schools, $2,760 was deducted from the total amount of $119,644.50, which leaves $116,884.50 for distribution to the various Catholic schools. It will appwdr from an inspection of the schedule that the schools have been reducedratably, rather than to elimiuate anyparticular institution. The reason for this is that the average attendwe at nearly all of such schools shows an excess over that contracted for, the number allowed beiug 1,763 pupils, while the average attendance during the past year was 2,313, illdicatiug that, athough reductions have been made in the number allowed, the schools have co~~tiuueind their particular work. Contracts have been executed with the ditferent schools for the num-ber of pupils and at the rate and for the amount given in the schedule as follows: TABLE7 .-SCh0018 c o t~duo t d du l l d w coltta~tw, i t h number of p u p i l 8 oont,,ootad for, rats per oapita, and total amount of oontractforjE8oal years ending Jme SO, 1895, and June 30,lXSU. 1895. 1809.
