I have arranged the sects in order of their Magyar character (a) or their Magyarizing tendencies (6) as the case may be; and it is a curious coincidence that state aid is actually granted to their schools in this proportion.
The low proportion of the Greek Oriental Church is partly to be explained by its frequent refusal to accept subsidies, in order not to give the Government an excuse for interference.
