1, EDWARD GEORGE PEYTON, of 20 Maxilla Gardens, North Kensington, in the
County of Middlesex, Private Tutor do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a method of making and keeping a record
in the pupil's lesson book of the pupil's performance in each lesson. For this purpose
I arrange the lessons, which may consist of sets of words, examples in Mathematics,
Outline Maps, sets of questions, passages of poetry or any kind of scholars' work, in
rectangular form on the page of the lesson book. At each of the four corners I mark
off a space in which the teacher is to mark the record. The four spaces allow of four
different records to be kept either at the repetition of the lesson, or by a supervising
teacher. By this method a permanent record of the degree of proficiency attained by
the pupil in every lesson is kept conveniently for the use of the teacher, parent, and
scholar.

page_text: EDWARD GEORGE PEYTON, of 20 Maxilla Gardens, North Kensington, in the
County of Middlesex, Private Tutor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide in a more efficient manner than heretofore
for keeping a record of a pupil's marks, so that the degree of proficiency which he
has attained can be readily observed.
For this purpose, I enclose by means of printed lines or circles suitable spaces on
the pages of a book, or on an exercise sheet, so that the number of marks obtained
may be recorded in the said spaces.
In carrying my said invention into practice, the lessons, which may consist of sets
of words, examples in mathematics, outline maps, sets of questions, passages of poetry,
or any other kind of scholar's work, are arranged in rectangular form on the page of
the lesson-book or upon the exercise sheet. At the ends or corners of the lessons thus
arranged, or at the sides or corners of the sheet or page, i enclose spaces as, and for
the purpose, above specified.
In order that my said invention may be clearly understood, I will hereinafter describe
the application of my improvements to various examples of lesson-books.
In applying my invention to a spelling-book for example, I arrange the words in
each lesson in one or more vertical rows, and at each corner of the lesson thus arranged
I enclose a space in which the marks may be recorded. I sometimes print lines across
the page at right angles to each other so as to enclose each lesson between four of the
said lines, and I arrange the enclosed spaces within the rectangle formed by the said
four lines.
In applying my invention to an exercise-book for composition or for writing sentences
in English, French or any other language or for similar purposes, I provide an enclosed
space at each corner of the page; and I also provide an enclosed space which extends
along the outer edge of the page. The space at the left hand top corner may be used
for recording the marks brought forward from the preceding page; the space at the
right hand top corner for recording marks obtained for the writing; and the space at
the left hand bottom corner for the master's initials. The space at the outer edge of
the page may be used for recording the marks for each lesson, and the space at the
right hand bottom corner for the total number of marks.
Moreover, when each losson consists of a question, in arithmetic for example, which
occupies a single line or other narrow space on the pago, and two or more of such
lessons are arranged upon one page, I prefer to enclose a space which will be common
to the whole of the lessons on the said page, and to provide other enclosed spaces for

page_text: the collective or total number of marks obtained, and for the number of marks brought
forward from the preceding page.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it understood that I claim :-
The above described method of providing for keeping a record of a pupil's marks
by means of enclosed spaces at the ends or corners of each page or sheet, or of
each printed lesson, or of each space for an exercise, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
Dated this 24th day of May 1887.
