There is another shortcoming with this data set: because I do not know the average enrollment figures for the school at the time, I cannot place the number of caned boys in context to the total number attending. For example: if the school had 1,000 enrollments, and 200 turnover per year, and straddles 4 school years, then unique attendance in the period was 1,800 boys. The 594 caned represent that roughly one-third of all boys in attendance during the period were caned for some offence.
