Through this district there is little criticism of mathematics teaching. The requirements in school and college have not been changed to any appreciable extent. The question as to the relative number of pupils taking high-school mathematics seemed hard to answer definitely. The following table, however, gives the number of pupils per thousand of enrollment who presented answer papers to the regents in the years shown.
