Mr. O'Higgins
The approximate number of day pupils who were in attendance at secondary schools on or before 15th October in the school year 1952-53 was 36,450. The approximate number of day pupils on rolls in national schools on 30th June, 1952, was 476,440. I have given the latest information available in each case.
