DISTRICT SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATIONS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—lt was evidently the intention of the Board of Education to add to tho trustworthiness of tlieir.scholarsliip examinations by withholding the names of candidates from the examiners of papers. But the examiner was inadvertent; the name had to bo robbed off the back ot the envelope containing each candidate's set of papers, and a recorded nnraber substituted; but in the composition paper each candidate had to write inside the name of the teacher of his or her school as part of the answer to a question. Thus the ' laudable object of the Board was frustrated, and the cost of official envelopes, to be addressed by hundreds inleadpencil only, might have been saved, It was the teacher's name that required to be withheld, not so much the individual scholar's; though revealing the one often revealed the other. Justice.
