Under the heading of expenditure on public instruction, the
chief item is represented by the expenditure on the primary
schools. This expenditure in the year 1880—1881, amounted to
kr. 1,422,171, and in 1890—1891 to kr. 1,670,925. Since that time
the expenditure on this head has been gradually increasing,
owing to the new regulation for primary instruction, and in
1897—1898 amounted to kr. 3,478,780, that is to say more than double
the amount seven years before. At the same time the expenses
of the schools for the blind, deaf and other abnormally developed
individuals have increased from kr. 58,806 in the year 1880—1881
to kr. 488,479 in the year 1897—1898. For the schools for higher
instruction the increase is less remarkable, being from kr. 769,060
in the year 1880—1881, to kr. 875,860 in 1897—1898. Upon the
University in Kristiania, which is at the same time the highest
educational establishment in the country, and its chief scientific
institution, were expended in the year 1897—1898 kr. 828,375,
as against kr. 511,611 in 1880—1881. The total expenditure on
public instruction and objects of civilisation amounts to about
14 % of the total expenditure, if we calculate the expenditure of
the state on a net basis.

The chief item in the expenditure of the Treasury is
represented by the public defences, for which purpose, after deduction
of the revenue obtained under this heading, the following sums
have been employed:
