THE DISPOSITION MADE OF THE SCHOOL FAILURES
| Total No. Failures | Repeat the Subject | School Exam. Final or Spec. | Regents' Exam's. | Discon. or Substitution | Contin. No Repet. or Exam. | Both Repeat and Exam. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8348 B. | 3695 | 821 | 1333 | 2471 | 259 | 231 |
| 9612 G. | 5001 | 1025 | 1752 | 1929 | 249 | 344 |
| Per Cent of Total | 48.4 | 10.3 | 17.2 | 24.5 | 2.8 | 3.2 |
It is obvious from these percentages that school practice puts an inclusive faith in the repetition of the subject, as 48.4 per cent of all the failures are referred to this one remedy for the purpose of being rectified, although one school made practically no use of this means (see [section 5] of this chapter). We shall proceed to find how effectively it operates and how much this faith is warranted by the results. The cases above designated as both repeating and taking examination (3.2 per cent) have been counted twice, and their percentage must be subtracted from the sum of the percentages in order to give 100 per cent.
