to this, nearly 70 per cent (69.6) of those continuing in school more than three semesters fail one or more times.  Those who drop out without failure, in the three semesters or less, constitute nearly 60 per cent of the total non-failing pupils (2,568), but the failing pupils who drop out in that same period constitute less than 32 per cent of the total who fail (3,573).  This situation received some emphasis in Chapter II and will be further treated in Chapter IV, under the comparison of the failing and non-failing groups.

Referring directly now to Table VII, we find that 44.7 per cent of those not failing the first year do fail later.  Of all those who fail the first year, 13.8 per cent escape any later failures.  Of all the pupils included in this table 15.8 per cent have 7 or more failures, while of those failing in the first year 27 per cent later have 7 or more failures.  For the number included in this table 30.4 per cent have no failures assigned to them.
