Book Description	This book examines the progress of pupils through New Zealand schools in the last two decades of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century. This study applies demographic techniques to primary historical education data to enable the progress of pupils to be quantified and to allow comparisons to be made among different Education Districts and longitudinally over a period of some three decades.Demographic methods were applied using cohort and period analyses to overcome difficulties in making direct comparisons of historical education data because of differences in population structure and differing examination pass rates in various Education Districts. This allowed the determination of retention rates of pupils both by age and by level from Standard 4 to Standard 6 using primary data from the nineteenth century for 13 education districts. In addition, gender differences in retention by age were analysed from the 1880s to the end of the first decade of the twentieth century.
