*Number of days only. On several occasions visits
were made at the morning and afternoon sessions of the school
on the same day.
(ii) The scholars inspected during the year 1908 were
those who entered and those who were leaving during the year.
As the inspections were not commenced until May 28th,
many scholats had left school previous to that date, hence the
disparity in the numbers—457 entered, 237 leaving.
(iii) As a rule no children are admitted to the schools
below 5 years of age, but in a few instances children who would
reach that age during the school term have been admitted.
