Transcription Notes:
Question mark after 1870 at the top is the teacher's Total enrollment doesn't add up. Teacher cites 37 total, but male (23) and female (15) adds up to 38. If we are assuming that the number of students that left the school is 19, then adding the number enrolled in the last report with the number of new scholars that month minus the number of students that left would equal 38. The number of male and female students would also add up to 38. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-19 15:24:36 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-19 16:03:27
