The following lento front the princi- pal of Goderich High School, will be read with interest. We lappet the pa- pers reterrod to Sri, -Will you kindly allow me apace for a few words with reference to the papers un Orthography, Orthoepy sod English Grammar at the recent H. 8. entrance examination. I ant glad to know that you are going to publish them, and thus let teachers and parents see to what absurd and unfair tests candi- dates aro subjected. If in addition to the passage for dicta- tion a list of words for spelling is to be given, care should at least be taken that these words are such as fairly prepared csudidates must Aare seen and had oc- casion to use repeatedly Now will any sensible person say that such words as rhetorician, nucleus, dough- ty, Ac., fortis part of the average entrat:ae ardidate s vocabulary, or that it is fair to keep pupils out of the High School simply because of their in- -ability to spell such words 1 As a mat- ter of fact hot one of 130 candidates spelled rhetoridan correctly, and it is quite evident from the attempts to spell soasething like the sound, that about half of the words on the hat were quite unfamiltzr to the majority of theandi- dates. Then what shall be said of the judg- ment i r fairnem of an examiner who, with scores of common words frequently mispronounced to choose from, Nought proper to put on his list foreign proper names like Notre Dame or Ardennes. As to the Grammar, the result shows what any experienced teacher would have predicted, that owing to the un- familiar lancnage of the questions the paper was not a fair test of the clinch - data s knowledge of the subject. Not only d -d the pupils fail in very many CAWS to grasp at the meaning of the questions, but even where they apparent. ly had some conception of what the ex- aminer wanted, their faculty of express- ing themselves was not equal to the task imposed on it. i write this in the fullest sympathy with public school teachers and pupils, who bare, in my opinion, been very un- fairly judged, and ntzt weak i shall ask you to publish the thiel elites Grammar and Literature papers, to show that High School teachers and pupils have been , treated even worse.

James McDonald umpired the base ball, and A. Tennyson and P. Mc Nay the foot ball.
