Examination time reminds us of
Marks. Soon the anxious will be finding
out where they stand in this and that,
and then will arise the usual chorus of
dlsgustad exclamations over the mark
ing system. We wonder if it ever oc.
Cured to people that it is not the
marks themselves but the value SCI: on
them that makes the mischief. To
one who is studying from love of
learning aud sincere desire for i'm.
provement the slight and unavoidable
injustice of marks is of small conse
qucn.e. lie knows the value of his
work to himself and that is all he cares
for. A low per cent. cannot deprive
him of the pleasure he feels in good
terms work. a high per cent. cannot
ease Il conscience guilty of care!essness
and neglect. Every thoughtful stu
dent knows that the most brilliant and
snowy work is not always that which
does him the most good. Studying for
marks is not aud can never be as ben.
elicial as study for the highest deport-
ment. So do not give your marks
undue prominence. See to ii that YOU
do honest work and that with zeal and
energy, and with the satisfaction that
yon have done your best will come
pleasure and self approval.
