NO EXAMINATIONS
 Al STATE NORMAL

Following the example of many of cur northern and eastern schools the Normal has abolished examination for this term and if results are favorable probably examinations will be abolish ed permanently. For the past three or four years there has been a movement in this country for the abolition of examinations. It seems that every where the experiment is being tried the results are highly pleasing. Naturally enough the Normal should be quick to take up any sound, req sonable, progressive pedagogical re- form since pedagogy forms one of our most highly developed departments.
 All students of pedagogy know that no place whatever is provided for ex- animation in the five formal steps of teaching as outlined in the Herbar tian system. No deep thought is in volved in the process of arriving at the conclusion that examining is not an act of teaching On the contrary, it is taking from the pupil what has been given him. Nevertheless we must not too seriously condemn ex- aminations They have served good purpose in the ages past and for the future there will always be tests whether in the school room or else where We believe that it is safe to predict that as the proper method of teaching gradually comes into use examinations will at the same time gradually go out of use As for the experiment now being tried in the Normal both faculty and students are watching the effects with much in terest.-Normal Echo.
