                  CHAPTER IX. - Education.                  
 
                        Article 14.

 Here one may mention a system of administering state grants which has been adopted in Great   
Britain since the beginning of the war, and which has proved very successful.  It has already   
been mentioned that the British gevernment is now contributing 100% of the maintenance charges of   
refugees from Greater Germany, and 75% of other expenses.  These grants are administered through   
a central committee, and are paid by that committee to voluntary bodies on claims authorized by   
the committee after examination and scrutiny in accordance with the principles laid down by   
government.  The committee consists entirely of non-officials, and is composed partly of   
representatives of the voluntary organizations, and partly of members who have no concern with   
any grant-earning body.  The activities and accounts of the committee are subject to control by   
the Department of Government concerned.  Moreover, although maintenance is paid to the refugee   
by the voluntary body responsible for for his welfare, the rate of maintenance is assessed by   
  the Assistance Board, which is the public authority, in
