TOO SEVERE
A FRENCH PAPERS SET IN THE UNIYERSITY ENTRANCE EXAMINATION. Dunedin, Monday. Indigation over the severity of the French papers set for the University entrance examinations whi^h have just conclnded is *not confined to Christchurch alone. "W te were very indignant wh.en we saw the papers, which set a test equal to the first stage of the degree exa- j mination," said the head of a Dun,e- j din seeondary school. "The average 1 scholar would have found extreme j difficulty in answering the paper, but i some of the more clever pupils might j have heen able to answer. The French j test was definitely beyond the en- i trance standard. For example, there
were questions set in grammar which could not possibly be deseribed as 'simple questions,' the terms used in ! the syllabus. The test was beyond ! the syllabus and beyond the standard of the papers which have been set for maltricuation for some time past."
