Of ono dollar. ANY grade OF seventy
five per cent or better will be recorded

No pupil is supposed to take this ex

seventh or eighth grade work. 1t Is
the desire Of the County Superin
tendent that this examination may
be made to mean something to the
pupils; the examiners at the different
pl aces OF examination should exercise
due vigilance In that there snail be
no conversation between those taking
the examination. / would' suggest
that IL might be all right for the ex
amlner to explain questions that are
not plain dramatically speaking, but
care should be taken that tso many
questions are not asked.
Very truly yours,
C. s. SWAIN, a1
