Owing to the inclusion of Queen's Park Ward in the Borough, the returns as regards
totals, for last year are not comparable with those for the preceding years. The appended
comparison of certain of the schools where there were the greatest changes in numbers will be of
interest

Jn the cases ot schools on the boundary the non-resident attenders, representing cases in the
adjacent districts in households whence children attend the Borough Schools, are naturally more
numerous than in schools in the more central parts of the Borough. This observation applies to St.
Augustine, St. Luke, Ivilburn, and Wilberforce Schools in particular.
