At the Principal's Desk. •EXAIMIINiApI:ONS There is a good deal of talk nowa- days about exaniidations. :For some years there has hardly been an educati.onaleconference with- out some serious advocacy of the abol- ition of examinations. Parents sometimes object to exam- inations on the ground 'that the am- bitious pupil often becomes so excited over the examinations and studies so hard as to seriously injure the ,health. Again there are cases where a• pupil. because of a temporary indisposition, or even the nervousness of facing an important examination, may - fail to show up to iadvantage. Because of these considerations the practice is growing of taking count of the work throughout the year as well aof s examination records c e ds m deciding promotions. Yet examinations are hardly, likely to be abolished,. The 'fact is pupils themselves on the whole like examinations. Does not the growing boy like :to measure himself regularly on the doorpost? So the pupil likes the satisfaction of measuring his grlowing knowledge and skilltests.' gained by studies by repeated The ,objections to examinations are chiefly the result of examinations held at too long intervals, with too much al- fotogrt, ether depending upon a single ef- The 'greatest advantages are gained from examinations at frequent inter- vals, so that the pupils become ac- customed to .writing examinations and lose their nervousness, so that the pu- pils -and teachers both learn early and often whether the work has' been pro- perly taught ,and properly' learned. When any new topic has been stud- ied for a few weeks, the preparation for a special test serves to aid in re- viewing, in organizing the knowledge acquired, and in gaining a proper per- spective df it, Properly conducted at frequent in- tervals .examinations afford a certain pleasurable excitement to the pupils, revive interest In the subjects Studied, give the satisfaction ofconsciousness of progress, and show just where extra effort is needed. If term tests are given frequently enough, and the common practice to- day of 'tests every two months or of- tener is good practice, any annual or departmental examinations have no terrors for the pupils Who attend to their work ,durin•g the year, CONSTANCE.
