A lot of mistakes, weird formatting, and double transcriptions? Vleaned up, also way too many [[?]] to mark as finished. Dittos at top should for sure be in note where dos are not on the chart. One ditto has two things it could refer to, transcribed both. Placed all night school answers in margin as that makes it more legible and follows original author intent.
Still some unknown words, leaving open.
_________
I agree that this is difficult to follow because the main answers are for the Day school and the Night school answers are squeezed into the right margin. I re-organized the transcribing so that all Night answers come after all Day answers. Also, the "do" for ditto in the Night answers do not refer to the answer above, but to the answer to the left in the Day section. I hope I've kept it all straight so it is easier to read.
