SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATIONNS.
TO THE EDITOR Of THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sin,—Do you not think that the scholarship examiners have been rather hasty in their criticisms ; Was there no sovereign power in England between the years 1649 and 1663 ? a period in which our Fatherland was more gloriously governed than in almost any other part of the century ’ If any of the young people had written down that the Speaker of the House of Commons was Sovereign of England during that time, there could surely have been no objection, except perhaps the examiners objected to the great Protector himself hein o, called a Sovereign.—l am, *kc., D. B. P.S.—lf the examiners will consult a dictionary, they will find that a sovereign, when it does not mean 205., signifies *’ A Supreme ruler.”
