S suggesied that u series OF cxan-
nations be held at once in all the
branches, and in all grades. Note
the time employed upon each set
Of papers, and let the time be that
usually given to such exercises.
From each grade select all papers,
or, it desired, the best papers, and
in a given time have them copied
upon exhibit paper, leaving q mar
gin of one inch on the left side for
binding and using only one side OF
the paper. | will bind these papers
in book form. Be careful to have
the copies made in the most care
fl manner, keeping them cream.
Take them up by grades and keep
the grades separate. Have the
su iects follow each other in this
older in each grade: Spelling,
an ithmetic, grammar, geography.
history physiology, algebra, geom-
etry, botany, rhetoric physics and

pers, numbered consecutively, of

urge every Board of Directors to
