reached.
In Study a similar credit of ST. 90 will be
possible, to be attained by perfection in all
examinations. For all marking over Is per
cent an averaged and proportional credit
will be given. Marking below IS per cent
in one or more studies will incur debit
(entirely distinct from the credit) to be de-
termined by the lowest marking where fail
ure in more than one study is made, in the
same ratio as the credit is given. Reports
for neglect, derelictlOn. or Offense in study
will operate against the Study credit. on the
same scale as the Demeanor reports.
A debit in Study will also occasion po-
sition similar to that incurred by the loss of
one or more marks under the system of

incurred by an average marking of less than
Is per cent. on the same basis as debit in
study is made. Reports for neglect. dere-
LECTION and offense in labor will operate to
increase the Labor debit, on the same scale
as DemeanOr reports.

Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and
holidays will be paid at the following rates:
