In all these seminaries, except in that in Manila, which, because of its proximity to the centers of learning, is limited to the ecclesiastical studies, are taught Castilian and Latin grammar, arithmetic and algebra, geometry and trigonometry, physics, logic, psychology, ethics, metaphysics, and dogmatic and moral theology. They possess a moderate library, some physical and chemical apparatus, and a collection of solids for the explanation of mathematics. By means of matriculation and the official examination, the studies of the secondary education of the seminaries qualify the students to obtain the degree of bachelor of arts, and admission to the studies of the university. [113] The expenses of the staff and those for material were paid from the proceeds of the three per cent collected by the diocesans from the allowances which a certain part of their clergy received from the government. In the seminary of Nueva Cáceres alone, were the expenses of the staff met by the royal treasury. According to the statistics of the university, the students of secondary studies in the seminary of Cebú, for the term of 1896-1897, numbered 504; those in that of Jaro, 211; those in that of Nueva Cáceres, 268; and those in that of Vigan (Nueva Segovia), 201. [We add the following from Census of Philippines, iii, pp. 611, 612.] In order that the branches taught herein, as well as those taught in private schools, should be considered valid and be recognized by the university of Santo Tomás, it was necessary that the pupils pay the enrolment and examination fees prescribed by said university. The report submitted at the exposition of Amsterdam in 1883, says of these conciliar seminaries: "... The administration of the property is under the charge of the vicar general of the archbishopric of Manila, and of the district vicars of the respective rectories, under the supervision of the bishops. The seminary of [Nueva] Segovia has been in charge of the Recoletos since the middle of 1876, when the Augustinian friars left it, and who also had charge since 1882, the Paulist fathers having the honor of having inaugurated the studies now given. These zealous priests are those at present in charge of the other seminaries." From statistical tables on file at present in the archives of Manila, the following facts concerning two of these conciliar seminaries may be gathered. The enrolment for the seminary of San Carlos, of Manila, from 1863 to 1886 was 971. The enrolments for the seminary of Nueva Segovia from 1882 to 1886 were: dogmatic and moral theology, 171; philosophy, first year, 181, second year, 99, and third year, 93; Latin grammar, first year, 317, second year, 301, and third year, 256; Spanish grammar, 275.
