Tho North Bond Harbor says: 'Consternation oxlsts In every school of tho county since tho eighth grade examination pnpors havo been receiv ed from tho stato Btiporlntendont'B of fice. In all not inoro than ten per cont of tho pupils who wroto for ex amination passed, tho questions sub Jmlttod bolng often entirely out of 'keeping with tho courso of study nnd many times jn ndvanco of tho eighth grade courses. Thero seems to not hnvo been any thought given to tho question submlttod for examination ns regards their relation to tho course of study and as a result ninety per cent of failures are recorded. This may bo as It should bo, but It seems to us that It Is quite useloss to expect n pupil to provo his proflclenoy by tostlng him with quostlons that ho has not given any thought or that do not appear In tho rogular courso of study." Tho Romans had one advantage over us: When they objected to, tho other mark's winning thoy could havo him thrown to tho animals.
