The Monthly Test at the Wild
wood Public School

The last week in the school month
is set apart for tests in the Wildwood
Public School, covering all the work
we have been over. These are called
our monthly tests. They are given TO
see how much we have learned during
the month, and to help us to prepare
for the final examination that comes
at the end of the school term. We
usually begin with geometry on Mon
day morning and close with German
on Thursday or Friday. Miss Baker
examines in German, and Prof. Myers
in Latin. If the tests are easy we can
take more than two in IA day but if
they are hard, like they are this time,
we cal only take two, n NTH morn
ing and in the afternoon. After
we have finished our tests and nave
handed them in, Mr.. Myers corrects
them and then returns them to us
again. He takes the average from the
test papers without any class average
and puts them on our report cards. So
il depends on the all inn ortant tests
what our monthly average amounts to.
All of the averages that are above
ninety-five have to be handed back 10
the principal to keep; and all that are
below that point are kept by ourselves.
To find the monthly average the teacher
take the average of each test and adds
them all together, then divides this
sum by the number of studies that
tests were taken i'll. The questions are
either put on the blackboard by the
teacher or else each one is given a copy
of them. There are ten questions
given and each one which is correct
counts ten points so there are so many
points taken off for each mistake in an
answer. If when counted up they
equal one hundred, our test is perfect.
Sometimes Mr.. Myers gives something
for the neatness of the paper. We be-
gan this month on the Goth of March,
Monday morning with Geometry, in
the afternoon we took Physics, Tues
day morning, Algebra, and in the after
noon, Literature. This Wednesday
morning we are having Rhetoric, for
which | am writing this essay. |
received one hundred in Geometry,
one hundred III Physics, ninety-eight
in Algebra, eighty in Literature and
will get about seventy-five in Rhetoric.

Test. HAZEL LARCoMBE.

AUSleSea, ". j.
Dear Sir: a big mill-owner, Spar
tansburg, S. c., wanted 5000 gallons of
paint, and bought by price; paid .
cents less than ours; got a ''lead-and-
zinc paint; but the lead was sulphate
of lead. not carbonate. Sulphate costs
about half; and covers about half.
That paint was adulterated about six
times as much as the 5 cents paid for.
He "saved" 5 cents; and it cost him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it out
exactly; don't know how long it'll
wear.
Short-measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his saving 5
cents.
1t was thin, too; some loss there;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that; he
didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't make
much by hat 5 cents.
Go by the name: and the name is
Devoe lead-and-Zinc.
