These are all "subsistence schools," that is, they provide lodging and food with arrangements for the students to produce much of the food.
2 Receives only insular support.
NoTE.-Many of these schools produce food and sell products or live stock and spend the
proceeds in subsistence or equipment without including the amounts so spent in their
current expenditures. No figures on such items were procurable except for the Central
Luzon Agricultural School. From a special report made by this institution, the actual
per-student cost was found to be from five to ten pesos higher than given. The exact cost
figure assigned to the school depends upon how the additional items were considered; and
this is a matter involving so much legitimate difference of opinion that it seemed best not
to include such expenditures.
