Transcriber’s Notes: Page 121 - the section header was missing an item number. In DIVISION IV there is no CASE 25, but there were two CASE 26s. The first CASE 26 on page 180 was changed to CASE 25. On page 65, the “FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES” section header was missing a leading Roman numeral. “III” was added. Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. Typographical errors were silently corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
