statements made in his application, and
an address the most courteous and insin-
uating, Mr.. Milne made very favorable
impression npcn the three Examiners.
The only original papers that were laid
before us, however, were Canadian Sec
ond Glass Professional Certificate, a pro-
mise by Pres't Northrop to certificate
him without examir alton in case of his
election to the principalship of State
high school, a few lines signed by Asst.
State supt. hyde, and a number of let
ters from school authorities, informing
him that Others had been elected to DO
sitions for which Mr. Milne had applied,
As 1t was highly improbable that an ap-
plicant would submit such letters inten-
tionally, Mr.. Mines explanation, that
he must have interchanged them and the
originals he intended to bring, was salts
factory at the time. He said he would
write Immediately to Mrs. Milne to send
the other papers. He was informed that
by producing certificates of standing in
required branches, the time Of examina-
ton would be materially shortened.
Wednesday Sept. 6, about 4 80 p. M, he
asked for and was given text book on
chemistry. He was also given permis-
sion to take books from the school lib
rary.
The examination began Thursday Sept.
7, at 10 a. m. at Examiner Eckstein's
Office. Mr.. Milne was granted unlimit-

During the written examinations Mr..
Milne was generally left alone in the
consultation room adjoining to Mr.. Eek
STEMS Office. With our present know
ledge of the man, "a different course would
be taken. (Cf. Shoup'sHistory andscience
of Education, lower half of page 1922
In physics, the questions given were
of about the same grade as those sent
out by the H. S. B. in 1889. The total
attalnable maximum on the questions
Mr.. Milne attempted to answer was Sc
per cent: the mark given, 35. The fol-
lowing efforts were marked 0 each:
1. a. State the law of universal gra-
vitation. Gall bodies have tendency
to approach each other, and the force of
such attraction is in proportion to the
distance which separates the bodies."
3, a. A cubic foot of water weighs
62.5 pounds. What is the weight of a
boat which displaces 625 cubic feet of
water? ...
.'The weight of the boat IN air will be
the weight Of the displaced water, i. e.
625 X 62.5=39O6.25 lbs. Ans
4, b. State the laws of falling bodies
"Falling bodies increase in velocity in
proportion to the square of the distance
) through which they fall.'
&C. What is specific heat? ''Specifc
heat is certain amount of cheat" re-
tanned by all bodies to preserve their
form. Thus if water be robbed of its
specific heat its form is changed"
! Attainable maxima on the above:
| I, a, 5 per cent; S,a,2 i pro cent; a, b,
per cent; s, c. per cent.
/ Excluding the above, the attainable
maximum on the remainder of the work
attempted CSC per cent per cent?
