Public Schools.
In the year 1891 there were in the Republic 483 public schools; that
is to say, 143 more than in the year 1886.
The number of pupils was then for the whole Republic 43,676 (24,541
boys, 19,135 girls)--14,763 boys and girls in the capital, and 28,913
in the departments.
All the schools cost $690,574, the education of each pupil
representing a value of $13.27.
The professors were 863--272 men and 591 women.
Ninety-four schools were established in buildings belonging to the
National Educational Board and representing a value of $448,541,
and 11 of them in buildings belonging to the State, with a value of
$45,942.
Private Schools.
In 1891 there existed in the Republic 375 private schools, with
21,945 pupils and 930 professors (381 men and 549 women).

In this national school 114 girls received the title of professor for
the first degree, and 29 for the second degree, from the year 1887 to
the year 1891.
In the same building is established the "_Museo Pedagogico_, or
Pedagogic" Museum, one of the most important institutions of this
kind in South America, under the direction of Mr. A. Gomez Ruano.
Art and Professional School.
This important establishment is actually under the care of the
"National Charity and Public Beneficence Commission." It is
established in a large building of its own, fit for 600 pupils. In
1891 there were 227 of them who received there, besides professional
instruction, a very serious general instruction up to the third
degree.
In that establishment they study for carpenter, cabinet-maker,
ironsmith, shoemaker, bookbinder, typographer, lithographer,
mechanican, turner, silversmith, tinsmith, sculptor, painter, etc.
There are also classes of telegraphing, drawing, gymnastics, singing,
and music. The professors are 46.
