Of course, the difference in percentages is not significant and it is difficult to reach an unambiguous conclusion. The total number of pupils in 1932/33 was almost 2.7 million, of which the Czechs and Slovaks together accounted for l,8 million and the Germans about 568 ooo. So you can see that the Czech school book publisher can count on the two to two-times number of pupils for his textbooks if you withdraw the Slovaks. However, this contrasts with the fact that the competition at the Czech publishing house is significantly greater than at the German one. If we now look at the development of the individual school classes, we see that the evolution of the total number of pupils is strongly dependent on l1o loo 90 80 1921 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 of the development in the popular school system.
