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.
