;haps nothing in our present sys1en

Perhaps nothing in our present system
Of education is 50 demoralizing and un..
just Us the custom ofpublic examinations.
In them interest and vanity play into
each other'shands; genuine requirement
and principal "go to the WALL" The
teachers and boys alike knows that they
are never true crlteria of progress, that
they are seldom even fair representations
of the actual course Of study. Weeks,
months are spent in preparations for the
deceitful display; even then true merit,
which is generally modest by nature, docs
itself injustice, and vain self assurance
comes off with flying eolors. The cram
teacher scatters seed over large amount
of mental surface, instead Of thoroughly
cultivating the most promising portions; {;
and lie brings before the parents and the
public the few years CLEANED on all tho
acres as samples of crops which he knows
