Reader’s notes
p. 133. Eleven columns: the stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. The caption (excluded per instructions) carries a superscript footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed within the crop; the table body ends at a closing rule below "By Board decision", so the footnote presumably sits below the crop or on another page. The row "After:" is a section line with a label and no values. All figures are legible and no cell was doubtful. Internal arithmetic is consistent throughout: in every column the three section totals (Certification issued 2,507 / 2,086 / 49 / 372 / 51; By withdrawal 1,986 / 1,624 / 43 / 319 / 39; By dismissal 183 / 100 / 15 / 68 / 12) sum to "Total, all" (4,676 / 3,810 / 107 / 759 / 102), and each indented detail block sums to its own subtotal. The apostrophes in "Regional Director's" are printed as typographic right single quotes; they are transcribed as plain apostrophes.
