'Commentiug on the method in vogue in Wellington by tbe Education Department of marking papers of teachers’ examination, the “Dunedin Star’ 81 , vs:—A young man pupil-teacher

who had sat for the teachers’ 1) examination received advice that lie luid passed in three groups, but that he had failed in reading. As he had been personally complimented by the examiner upon his reading, the young man was at a loss to understand how he could possibly have failed. But, on his writing to Wellington, asking for a revision of his reading marks, he was informed that lie had unfortunately been marked absent in reading; also, that lie was entitled to a full partial pass. The worst features of this instance was that the young man would have entered the Training College if lie had been notified in the first place of his obtaining a full partial, pass, whereas lie now has to carry on pupilteaching for another year.
