Statistical Tables.
During the year 1914, 1,641 children have been medically
examined, as set out in the table below. The word "entrants"
includes all children from 5 to 7 vears of ace. The word
"intermediates" denotes children between the ages of 8 and 12, and the word "leavers" is used in the same sense as in the Code of Regulations for Elementary Schools:-
School. | Entrants. | Intermediates | Leavers. | Total | Gross | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Boys. | Girls. | Boys. | Girls. | Boys. | Girls. | Boys. | Girls | Tl. | |

The following table sets out the number of "leavers" at each school who were actually receiving their first examination. This apparently is due to two causes—either they had been examined elsewhere, but no record could be obtained, or, the children had come from private schools:—
School. | Boys. | Girls. | Totals. |
---|---|---|---|
Squires Lane | 5 | 6 | 11 |
Long Lane | 1 | 6 | 7 |
North Road | 6 | 9 | 14 |
Albert Street | 2 | 4 | 6 |
St. Mary's | 3 | 1 | 4 |
St. John's | 5 | 3 | 8 |
