Education jottings

The time for the annual examinations has come round again.

Two pupils of the high school sat last week for the entrance scholarships and country studentship examinations of the School of Mines, and this week those who aspire to pass the intermediate and leaving examinations of the university are going through the mill.

There is a considerable falling-off in the number of pupils of the high school who present themselves for these latter examinations now, as compared with previous years.

This is much to be regretted, and several reasons might be advanced to account for it.

Beautiful gladioli
