PASSING BY PROMOTION IS POOR

Some years ago the educational depart-
ment in British Columbia introduced a
system of promotion by principals in-
stead of all pupils writing examina-
Hons each year. ‘This was adopted on
the plea of some city parents who had
un idea their children were too temper.
ameutal te successfully write examin
ations, They were about right at that.
But the result has been that in schools
Where pupils Lave been promoted from
year to year without examinntions
they were unfit to write when they
cume to the final examinations. The
mnpily did not know what it was all
about, and the result has been a great
percentage of failmres all over the pro-
vince. In fact the number of success-
ful pupils is very small. The system
ix wenk and should be abolished, and
the chitdren. given -an opportunity to
write examinations every yYerr.

A fencher is supposctd to tench, to
lay the foundation for no pupil te use
