B.— GRADES OF SCHOOLS. [As in the A tables, the grades of schools are the grades under the Education Act, 1914, in accordance with the average attendance of the year 1914. The number of schools is arrived at by taking each group of part-time schools, or each group of main and side schools, as one school—that is, the number of schools is the number of graded schools each having a sole or head teacher. The percentages show the proportion of the total number of graded schools that there arejin each grade.]
