One purpose of an examination is to discover how weil :he pupils bave kept what has been taught. All examinations are more or less faulty. He would sooner take the result of twenty or thirty: recitations. He uses—three—elements. 1st, arecord of daily recitations ; 2d, his mental esiimate of gene.al information and character; 3d. the examination. The o-her Normal School teachers do about the same thing. All are required to make a class record of the standing of pupils, but each teacher may make tests in his own way. The standing thus given is recorded ard kept and at the end of the}. school term is averaged with the standing obtained upon a final examination covering everything ‘studied during the term. The monthly examinations should be of a character that a majority of ‘the: class might obtain an average of sevenity-five per cent or more. BATES-HART.
