scholastic records are available, 43 per cent were below average in their
classes in all subjects; 19 per cent were below in half or more subjects;
2 per cent were average and below; 9'per cent were average in all
subjects; 6 per cent were average and above; 12 per cent were average
in half or more subjects; and 13 per cent were above average in all
subjects. Table 57 shows this record for the twenty-seven high
schools. Expressed graphically, the data in Table 57 are shown in
Figure 24.

study by school authorities.
