[111] Law xxxv, título xv, book i, reads as follows: "We order that,
in accordance with the holy council of Trent, the missionary religious
pay contributions for college-seminaries, as the other clerics,
beneficed persons, prebendaries, hospitals, and confraternities do,
and are bound to do, in the manner that is and shall be assigned. We
ask and request the secular prelates to have it obeyed exactly and
punctually, and to warn the religious that if they do not observe it,
they shall be removed from the missions." It is dated May 1, 1609.
[112] Law vii, título xxiii, book i, dated El Pardo, Nov. 8, 1594,
reads as follows: "We order our royal officials of Peru to discount
three per cent of the stipends given to the religious missionaries of
the Order of St. Francis, which in accordance with law xxxv, título
xv, of this book the seminaries are to have, in money and not in kind,
and to give the remainder to the religious."
[113] This seminary was founded in 1870 by the very reverend Fray
Mariano Cuartero, the first bishop of the diocese. The building is of
stone with a galvanized iron roof supported by 160 beams. There are six
Paulist priests, and two lay-brothers in charge of the institution,
who are aided by three native clerics--pupils in the same seminary,
who teach the Latin classes under the direction of the rector. The
following fees are charged: matriculation, four pesos; boarding pupils,
nine pesos per month, payable quarterly; and the three per cent of
the stipend of the priests of the diocese. Instruction is divided
into four years of Latin, and three of philosophy. The total number
of pupils enrolled without distinction of courses or studies, from
1870 to 1885 inclusive, was 5,344; the total number of graduates,
4,397. Of those enrolled under secondary instruction, 86.1 per cent
graduated; under philosophy, 85.9 per cent; under dogmatic theology,
85 per cent; and under moral theology and liturgy, 82.5 per cent. See
Census of Philippines, iii, pp. 598, 599.
