SCHOOL-STATISTICS OF FIFTY PRINCIPAL CITIES. The following table, drawn from Table II of the appendix, exhibits the leading statistics of the public schools in 50 principal cities in the country, embracing a population of over 6,000,000 and a school-population of 1,724,114. It is not possible to go into any comparative analysis of the statistics, on account of diversity of systems and the want of complete uniformity in the reports where the systems are identical. The greatest hinderance, however, to any comparative estimates arises from the diversity of ages embraced in the enumeration of the school-population, 15 of the cities in question enumerating children between 6 and 21 years of age ; 10 between 5 and 21 ; 9 between 5 and 15; 4 between 5 and 18; 2 between 4 and 16; 2 between 6 and 16; and the remaining 8 cities enumerating children between the following ages respectively, viz: 4 and 20, 4 and 21, 5 and 20, 6 and 18, 6 and 16, 6 and 18, 6 and 20, and 7 and 21.
