Under certain contingencies, brought about by an exceptional fall in the attendance at an individual school for any one quarter, there is provision in the regulations for the substitution of the average of a favourable quarter of the preceding year. This, together with some other matters of detail, makes the total attendance here shown greater by 1,220 than the total given in Table B. 1. The latter—l2l,9sB —is the number to be taken for statistical purposes.

TABLE B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1906 at the Schools as grouped in Table A, as estimated for the Computation of Teachers' Salaries.

The two following tables show respectively the number of children of Maori and mixed race attending public schools, and the number of European children attending Native schools. Of the latter the number might be larger but for an omission in the Act to make compulsion operative in such cases.
