    “The Output of the Day Schools.” It is summarised as follows: “Table Va classifies the output of the primary schools according to the pupils’ attainments at the time of leaving, t.e. according to the extent by which they had progressed beyond, or fallen short of, the Stage qualifying for enrolment in a post-primary course. It will be seen that of the 91,599 pupils who left primary schools or primary departments... 77,996 (a little over 85 per cent.) had either reached this stage or advanced beyond it, while 13,603 (not quite 15 per cent.) had failed to attain it. Of the qualified pupils 16,271 had followed an advanced division course for two full years or more; 19,616 for less than two but not less than one year; while 10,550 fell short of one year. In examining these figures, however, we must not forget the 31,559 pupils who were transferred to secondary departments.” The figures given here and the additional data pro- vided in Table V (p. 58 of the above Report) enable us to present the following view of the educational status of pupils in Scottish schools at the age of leaving: } Number transferred to schools conducted under Second- ary School Regulations . / : ; 31,559 Number who had received instruction in an Advanced Division before they left, for Not less than 2 sessions ; ‘ 16,271 Less than 2 sessions but not less than 1. 19,616 Less than I session . ; : : 10,550 46,437 —____.
