The standard for a third class is given somewhat fully, as most 

 country pupils and many town ones go no further than this class. A 

 glance at the table will make it clear that they leave school fairly 

 prepared mentally for such duties as the great majority of men are 

 called upon to perform, and with an excellent foundation for subsequent 

 self-improvement. The standard for a fifth class shows what further 

 equipment is offered to those who are able and willing to remain longer 

 at school.
