COLLEGE NOTES.

Cheating.


say when they read this that it is not
true, but never-the- LESS it is true. A
student said to me a few days ago,
"rhe students here are exceptionally
good every other way except when
it comes to examinations. But it
seems that when examinations come
that they think it is honorable to get
through in any way-that any means
is fair in examinations. But this is a
mistake. 1t is forming bad habits.
1t is cultivating principle which will
ruin the student. 1t not only hinders
him from being thorough and in
dependent thinker, but it cultivates
dishonesty in the extreme. ! do not
think that many of the students who
do thus mean to be dishonest, they do
it thoughtlessly, that is why | thus
call attention to it.
This practice of cheating is preva-
lent in all the rooms unless it be
in the senior room. I don't know
how it is there for have never been
IN these when an examination was
going on. But | do know that it is in
all others. The methods of cheating
are various and we'll devised, and so
hard to detect In some cases it is
more prevalent, and it is becoming
worse. This is no idle statement but
1t is truth, the faculty and students as
we'll should make move to stop this
practice.
An Irishman once threw a stone
among pack Of dogs, when one dog
set up a terrible yell. When the
Irishman was asked which dog he hit,
he answered, "Faith, and | hit the
one that yelled" So you hear any
student bowling about this piece you
may be assured that he is the dog
that was hit. Take you notice of this.
