schools inspected soon after the commencement of the flying bomb
attacks as at that time the numbers in attendance were rather

compared with 1943. The acceptance rate had not fallen 1 per
cent, but the attendances for treatment were much fewer.
Table IV in th" Statistical Summary on page 59 gives some

Secondary Schools.
Both the Leytori County High Schools, for Girls and for Boys,

during the year, or 89.8 per cent.
Table IV in the Statistical Summary on page 63 gives some
