NOTE.-This age-grade table was prepared in the Academic Division in answer to a request from the Director of the Survey. The data have
been subjected to one partial check. Each of the 32,000 pupils teste# by the Commission gave his age. The median ages for the respective school grades
correspond very closely with those given in this table. There still is considerable uncertainty about the ages of individual children. In the past ten years,
however, the school system has succeeded in bringing about a marked improvement in the accuracy of age records.
