The effect Of the revision Of the cur

been shown by the decrease In the
number of fourth class men dropped

annual examinations. Last year nearly
II per cent OF the fourth class were
recommended to be dropped. This
year only 10 per cent failed. In de-
termining the term work the examina-
ton now counts only one-sixth In sub
jects IN which monthly examinations
are given.
Tho recent entrance examinations
also showed an increase over the usual
percentage In those who qualified for
admission. Out of 135 examined In
February 55 per cent passed. as
against an average Of about Al per
