tions have been sent out. There will
be another examination held during
the week beginning June 18th. The
High School Examiner is sending the
complete certificates from the last ex-

are marked, and when we get them
and record them, you will receive
them.
There will be offered two eighth
grade examinations also. The first
will be held May 26th and 9th, and
the next will be held June 10th and
June 18th. The latter examination is
given to accommodate those schools
closing late, and it is not meant that
if a pupil fails in the May examina-
ticn he can write in June. Pick out
the examination you want, and have
your pupils write then. Be sure and
let US know AT ONCE how many
questions you will need for each ex-
animation. The policy of the State
Department is that hereafter all ex-
aminations shall be centralized rather
than let every teacher hold them.
