These grades are not the class 4 stand

written examinations, on the basis OI

be borne In mind that two wears ago
these pupils knew nothing of written
examinations. We have given tliffi.
cult examinations, and have graded
very close. for that reason some OF the
subjects do not appear mt all and
many pupils are left out whose names
would appear II we were to live the
average grade. Those who have
made 10 per cent and above ON thes4.
examinations are entitled to distinc-

further encouragement, and in the In
terest Of the patrons. we submit two
or three Of the papers, without any
correction. for publication. We pro-
nOunce them far above the average
paper made by pupils of their aye.
The reader will notice that in the
f1rst paper the 9th question IL the only
one Eiissed completely; the correct
answer being: 1.-The intensity of gray
itatiOn varies universally as the
square Of the distance between the
bodies" with this exception the pa
per IL nearly perfect. The second pa
per misses none completely, and the
Others are of like grade.
Those who have not been absent or
