Table H3.-Number of Full-time Teachers, etc., employed in all State Schools, December, 1940, and December, 1939.

Table K1.—Average Number of Children per Class-teacher in Public Primary Schools.

N.B.—The average attendance shown for each grade of school in the above table does not correspond with that shown in Table C 1, owing to the fact that in Table 0 1 part-time and side schools are taken separately, thus altering the grades of various schools for the purpose of that table.
