(1) The data given for each year refer to the statistics gathered during the first semester of that year and the following year.
(2) Until 1885 the data include both full-time and part-time teachers; after 1896 only full-time teachers are counted.
(3) Regarding the population data, see the corresponding notes above for table 4a in this chapter; in this column the results of the census were utilized, except for the years 1895 and 1905.
(4) Schwarz made a mistake in addition for this statistic which in his text reads: 166,796.
(5) Schwarz (p. 226) lists here the number of pupils as 165,060, for which no sources can be found, while his data for the year 1893 coincide with our sources.
