in the form of interest on permanent school funds that have been
built up both from the sale of land granted by the Federal Govern-
ment and from leases on parts of this land that has not yet been
sold. In the reports of income of land-grant institutions this inter-
est on land-grant funds has always been considered as a Federal
source of income, but in public-school income reports this interest
has been credited to the State, county, or district holding title to
the land and fund and not to the Federal sources. However, in the
following data all indirect income from permanent school funds and
leases on school lands for the public-school system has been con-
sidered as Federal income in the 30 States that have built their per-
manent funds from Federal lands. In the other 18 States that
received no Federal land but created their permanent school funds
from State sources, the interest is considered as State income. No
effort has been made to include the income for West Point, Annap-
olis, war colleges, and other Federal institutions supported by public
funds or income for military instruction in colleges and secondary
schools as it is impossible to secure data at all complete or comparable
with that for other educational institutions. The District of Co-
lumbia has also been omitted as it is not comparable as to types of
sources available.
