n In computing this figure, the enrollment in the training school, 792 pupils, was omitted.
For a teacher training institution, the training school is a laboratory which should be
counted as any other necessary expense, and apportioned among the real students, those
in the normal school proper.
b 776 pupils in the practice classes are not included. See note 1.
NOTE.-Until 1924, there was only one separate normal school, the insular school at Manila.
When the financial data for 1924 become available in the Bureau of Audits, the per-pupil
costs of the separate schools for 1924 can be calculated. The data were not available at the
time of the survey.
A normal course student in a high-school costs more than an academic student by about
one-fourth to one-third. The extra cost is due to normal students taking five subjects,
as against the usual four for academic students, and to extra practice-school costs.
