OF the 1913 pupils who took the
[f'nal examinations II6 passed and u
tailed, Some of the papers were in
dicative of coaching before the ex-
aminations were taken. One teache.
have heard of required the pupils
to re-Write the papers until the
teacher was satisfied. This was All
examination for the pupils and not
the teacher. 1t seems strange that a
school teacher would resort to such
unfair means, but such seems to have
been the case. 1t is an injustice to
the pupil to say the least. Two years
ago, one teacher opened the ques-
tons and coached one pupil for two
days; this pupil won the Butler
scholarship, came to Butler and made
an absolute failure in high school.
