court. A court of crown cases reserved is formed by the three judges, of whom two form a quorum provided the chief-justice is one of the two. There are no imperial troops now stationed in British Guiana, but there is a semi-military police force, a small militia and two companies of volunteers. The Church of England and the Church of Scotland are both established, and grants-in-aid are also given to the Roman Catholic and Wesleyan churches and to several other denominations. The revenue and expenditure now each amount annually to an average of a little over L500,000. About one-half of the revenue is produced by import duties, and about L90,000 by excise. The public debt on the 31st of March 1905 stood at L989,620. The system of primary education is denominational and is mainly supported from the general revenue. During 1904-1905, 213 schools received grants-in-aid amounting to L23,500, the average cost per scholar being a little over L1. These grants are calculated on the results of examinations held annually, an allowance varying from 4s. 4-1/2d. to 1s. 0-1/2d. being made for each pass in reading, writing, arithmetic, school-garden work, nature study, singing and drill, English, geography, elementary hygiene and sewing. Secondary education is provided in Georgetown at some private establishments, and for boys at Queen's College, an undenominational government institution where the course of instruction is the same as at a public school in England, and the boys are prepared for the Cambridge local examinations, on the result of which annually depend the Guiana scholarship--open to boys and girls, and carrying a university or professional training in England--and two scholarships at Queen's College.
