Huxley on Examinations.

HlSRE nave Decn lew persons
| better qualified tn pass
Il judgment on what Is good
| in education and what bad.
than was the famous scientist, Pro-
| fcSsor Huxley We have been greatly
| struck with some quotations made
| from him in recent educational
| work. First: II am an old examiner
| having for some twenty years past
| been occupied with examinations on
considerable scale Of all sorts and
conditions of men. and women too
from the boys and girls of elementary
| hools to the candidates for honnrs
| and fellowships in the universities.
| My admiration for the existing sNs-
tenn of examination does not wax
warmer as | see more of il. ! am not
alone in this. Experienced friends OF
mine say that students whose career
! they watch appear to them to become
| deterioratcd by the constant effort to
pass this or that examination. They
| work to pass. no. to know; and out
| ragged science takes her revenge. They
| do pass but they don't know"
Again. Il'' USES tfl StItl'S'l it'l-
| guage, writing thus: THE educational
ahominaton of desoation OF the pres
ent day is the stimulation of young
people to work at high pr assuro by in
cessant competitive examinations"
1t is only such methods of teaching
as arouse and interest the pupil, os-
pecially the very young pupil, to
l. l,;, lao
sake of knowing-not tho driving or
luring him or her on to ""ram" either
for the mere sake of getting pro-
NOTED. nr to get Il higher average on
the arbitrarily selected written exam
inaiicn--th&t really produC" results of
high valnc for future life and work.
These examinations form no true or
actual test of the rhld'S knowledge
of The subject studied, or even Of any
special text book taken in its entirety
or as far as that grade uses it. That
is made much more apparent in the
daily school room rcci!atons. and the
ability To put the meaning of the
lesson into the chl,'s own language.
No teacher who is capable of teaching
At an. vi any biSlS, ''tli Nll'NS ldi
better by that daily school work test
than any examination on the present
lines can reveal ii, what pupils are
gaining, and the standard of gain
they arc making as compared with
each other At tho close of the month
or the term, the teacher can tell
which pupils really know, are really
fitted for going on, and can judge
fairly also Of their relative standing,
whether marked in such case as NUM-
her one. number two. and so on, or
by marking hem then as deserving
of a higher Gr lower average out of
a possible hundred. The classes that
know thci: advancement, alike in ac-
tual knowledge and in grade promo
tcn, depends not on ''cramming'' and
an arbitrary memory test at the
terms end. but on daily steady inter-
est in lessons and attention to in
strurtion, are the classes that so on
to the close of school days the best
equipped for what life is 10 call on
them for. That proportion of prcpara-
ton holds good for those who must
so to work early and for those the
higher education awaits.
