CENTRAL EXAMINATIONS FOR PUPILs.-A
GREAT INCENTIVE TO THOROUGH WORK
IN THE COMMON SCHOOLS.

The twelve central er township ex-
aminations for seventh and eighth
grade pupils, were held as announced
in the circular issued Jan. 1st.
The first examination was held at
Stacviile, Mar. l6, and the last at
Avoca, Mar. 28. Owing to sickness
in many parts Of the county, the at
tendance though larger than was
expected, was not so large as it other
wise would have teen.
The examinations were attended by
Sl3 pupils, forty-one OF whom had
| passed the corresponding examination
held last ye2I; hence 272 of the num-
bef IL attendance were pupils who had
not secured the Certificate OF Merit
tissued for work done in these exam
iRGicna
OF the 272 eligible candidates ex-
amined, 1873, or over fifty per cent. were
granted Certificates of Merit. Forty
three of these were eighth grade, and
ninety-tive seventh grade certificates.
Eighth grade certificates were issued
to those who passed sixty-five per cent.
or above in six or more subjects, and
seventh grade certificates to those who
passed sixty per cent. or above in the
same number of subjects.
The eighth grade certificate signifies
that the pupil is properly classified at
some place in the eighth grade, and
the seventh grade certificate that the
pupil belongs in the seventh grade. 1t
should not be understood that the
pupil is necessarily considered to have
completed the grade in which he holds
Il certificate.
Any pupil holding either grade GER
| titicate, or holding one granted last
year, is eligible to attend the final or
graduating examination to be held at
the Second Ward school building, in
the city of Port Huron, on June 27.
At this time pupils will be tested in all
the subjects in the Course of Study,
and Diplomas of Graduation will be
