TABLE L.—Salaries and Allowances of Teachers, December, 1901.

Table M shows the number of certificated and uncertificated teachers employed in the public schools during 1901. Out of the total number (2,668) of adult teachers employed, 2,384 were holders of certificates, 11 others had passed the certificate examination, 86 had gained a partial pass, and 35 had failed, while 152 had never been examined by the Department. Ten were holders of licenses to teach.

TABLE M.—Teachers, Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1901. (Numbers in brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

In January, 1902, 140 teachers not previously certificated passed the D or B examinations, so that the total number of teachers in service and qualified by examination is now 2,384 + 7 + 140 = 2,531.
