Hxamination Papers—Unfair Tests

Sir,—Allow me space in your valuable journal to bring. to public notice a few suggestions concerning the examination papers which are placed before third-class candidates for teashers’ licenses by the Board of Examination for this Island.

It is amusing to examine the papers which were prepared for this occasion. . The English paper consists of a difficult 8 which no two teachers may have the laae method of analyzing or parsing, and which is often disputed by our Professors ae to the correct method, Then follows a number of miscellaneous puzzles or conundrums, which are supposed to test the candidate’s know- ledge of the English language.

Next to be taken into consideration is the questions on history, which generally consist of the most unimportant that can be selected in the whole History of England, and also put in such an incomprehensible manner, that they would baffle the ingen- uity of McAulay or Hume (were they in existence). ;

Another specimen of history questions is, instead of requesting the candidate to give the causes, results, etc., of important events, he is requested to assign events to a number of dates selected throughout the history.

The geography and arithmetic papers are none the Jess unreasonable. Unless the candidate possess a knowledge of the poly- syllabic towns, and every blue-berry swamp and miil pond in the Dominion of Canada, he is more than likely to be unsuccessful. Concerning the arithmetic, there is not one question taken from the arithmetic pre- scribed by the Board of Education, thus depriving the candidate of the benefit of that knowledge which he may have ac- quired. And, in order to take up the very limited time allowed, candidates undergoing examination enormous complex fractions removing al] the rules in vulgar fractions are given as questions. The answer to such questions as these are liable to be incorrect, though the persons by whom these questions are worked may have a thorough knowledge of the rules, Such is the ‘style of questions, and in conclusion Mr. Editor, it is quite evident that such examinations are by no means fair tests of the candidates knowledge of the several branches on which they are examined.
