(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.
