Table B2.—School Attendance at Public Schools for 1919.

Table B3.—Average Attendance for the Year 1919 at the Public Schools as grouped in Table A1, as estimated for determining the Grades of Schools.

The following notes are appended in explanation of this table : — A.—The average attendance as given in Table B3 differs from that in Table B2 for the following reasons : — (1.) Under certain contingencies the regulations provide for the elimination of one or two quarters' averages in the case of any school or department if the grade of the school or department would be raised or maintained by calculating the yearly average attendance on the mean of the remaining quarters' average. The amended average attendance thus ascertained is reckoned for the sole purpose of determining the grade of the school, and consequently this amended average attendance is used in the compilation of Table 83, which gives the schools according to their grades. For statistical purposes the average attendance as given in Table B2 should be taken. (2.) The totals of this table are for the mean of the four quarters of each school taken separately, not the mean of the gross quarterly totals of all schools. (3.) New schools, many of which were open for only part of the year, are included as having an average attendance for the whole year ; whereas in Table B2 the average attendance is included only for those quarters during which the schools were open. B.—This table shows the average attendance for determining the grades of schools. For determining the " primary " staffs of schools, however, the figures require to be reduced by the attendance in secondary departments of district high schools, viz.: Grade lIIa, 23; lIIb, 54; IVa, 55 ; IVb, 205; IVc, 70; Va, 111; Vu, 177 ; Vc, 142 ; Yd, 152 ; Vla, 187 ; Vlb, 143 ; VIIb, 224; Vile, 86; VIIf, 178; VIIg, 107; VIIh, 80; VIIj, 213; total, 2,207.
