It includes all pupils who have not se\"cred their connection with the schools b\' permanent "withdrawal" or by transfer to another public school. Temporary absence of any number of da_\s does not drop a pupil from the enrollment. Withdrawals. Pupils who withdraw permanentl\- from school are termed "withdrawals." This may mean pupils who move away from St. Louis, go to work, or \\ho for other reasons are compelled to leave school. Attendance per Teacher. Tn computing this figure the number of teachers vised is found as follows: Principals are not counted ; each regular room teacher is counted as one ; each director of an A..M. or P. M. kindergarten is counted as one and each paid assistant as one teacher: in the high schools and the Harris Teachers College all teachers giving but part time to regular instruction in those schools are counted as fractional teachers. Ages. The age of the pupil reported in the age-grade tables is the age on the last birthday before the close of schools in June. 10 ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS. II. TEACHERS AND SUPERVISORS.
