The two tables which follow show for the public schools the number and percentage of pupils in kindergarten, in primary grades, in grammar grades, and in high schools. Only 32 cities are included, for the reason that in Cedar Rapids, Chelsea, Haverhill, New Bedford, and South Omaha data were not secured for high schools. The total number shown for each race does not agree with the total shown in the summary table on page 18, as this table includes for each race only cities in which 200 or more pupils of that race are reported. This table also includes only pupils in the kindergarten, primary grades, grammar grades, and high school, and does not include pupils in special schools.
