"A personal inspection developed the
fact that the principals OF the schools were
cooperating with the committee to secure
fair examinations. The pupils devoted the
morning to the history paper and the aft
ernOou TO the arithmetic paper about two
hours and a half being allotted to each
subject. The same Afternoon the eXamina-
ton books were gathered MP and brought
to the District Committee room.
An arrangement was made with the
chief examiner of the Census Bureau and
the chief examiner of the Civil Service
Commission to have the books marked and
graded upon plan agreed upon.
After the marking was completed the
books were returned to the committee; and
inasmuch as each book bears a distinctive
number besides he name Of the pupil and
yerification."
The examination papers on each subject
are printed in the report and the following
comments regarding them and the results
Of the examination are made.
The arithmetic paper has been done in
twenty minutes. II contains only such
problems as occur in everyday business
life and ii is clearly within the instruc-
tion given in the seventh grade. OF the
l,lSS pupils examined, fifteen did all the
problems correctly While l per cent of
them made 100 per cent in arithmetic So
per cent Of those examined made 80 or
above, 81 per cent Of the pupils made 20
per cent and above. The average per cent
attained by the /, 18S pupils was 5S.S2
1t Is entirely safe to say that less than
a third OF the High School pupils could
pass the ordinary arithmetic examinations
for clerical positions as set by the Census
Bureau or the Civil Service Commission
Notwithstanding the fact that these pupils
have finished their instruction in arith-
metic. This might be an argument
against the severity OF those examinations

In NIenOriun.

Lines in memory of Lima E. Burton,
who died Feb. 30, 1900. She was an af-
fectionate and dutiful daughter, kind
and loving sister, and respected by all
who knew her and she has been called,
we trust, to a home of happiness and
rest.
Our dear. beloved Lima was called away
From us who fondly loved, and dear,
To heavenly mansions built above the
skies;
We have no doubt, we have no fear.
No we, bereft, must do without thee
Lima,
As God, our Heavenly Father, willed;
There is vacant chair and place at
Which never can again be filled.
1t is sad and lonely now at home,
For one we loved is absent here.
And still we think we hear the gentle
voice
Thy welcome footstep, oh how dear.
We fondly hoped that God would let
thee live
For many long and happy years
But He, from toll, did call thee home,
And we are left alone in tears.
Twas hard for us to part with thee
dear Lima,
Whom we so dearly, fondly loved.
But now it sooths our aching, breaking
hearts
To think thou art at home above.
Thou art not dead. we know full well,
Though hid awhile from mortal eyes,
We hope that we shall meet thee once
again,
At home beyond the azure skies.
To be with thee forever in the land,
Where saints and holy angels dwell,
To sing the songs of Moses and the
Lamb.
The anthem Of creation swell.
And may the thought that thou art hap
py now.
Redeemed and saved by Christ, in
love,
Console our aching hearts, and closer
bind
Us to our Heavenly home above.
SISTERS.

Where our sainted mother sleeps
We miss thee from our home mother,

We miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
