As the boys have ranged from 3 in the first weeks to 27 latterly, with every variety between—the only way to get an average, is by adding all the boys in each week together. In this way it is found that there have been 996 boys, one week with another, in the whole 52 weeks, this gives us an average of 19 boys a week.

52 weeks at £489 1s. 4d. gives an average cost per week of £9 8s. 1d.

19 boys at £9 8s. 1d. per weeks, gives an average cost of each boy per week of 9s. 4½d.
