From a genera! knowledge examination for children at Kingston-on-Thames the fallowing answers to questions make one csk whether £59,000,000 is too much or net half enough : “ A banner is carried in front of the mayor to show that he is tho chosen man to be head of the Town Council to grant holidays to tho school for one year.”

“ A* Parliament and a maieo are carried in front of a mayor,” “ Members of a Town Council ni'e Freemasons.”

“B.Sc. moans Bov Scout, Boys’ School, Bachelor's Scholarship, Borough School, and Brighton and South Coast.” “P.S. stands for Precious Stones, Plug Cistern, Police Station, Please Stop, Piccadilly Square, and Professor of Science.” ' “ The masculine of duchess is duck.”

A collection of puppies woe describedas a “ supply ’’ and a " host.” "Several partridges together form a convoy.” “ 1 Adam Bedo ’ was written by John Buayan and ‘David Copporficld' Ly Mrs Beecher Stowe.” “Julia Storm wrote ‘Treasure Maud.’” While most of the children knew tho moaning of a strike, a lock-out was described variously as “ like a strike, only it lasts longer,” “When your friends don’t want you,” and ‘‘A man who comes home late.”

Most of tho children came to grief over profiteer and pessimist. Tho former was said to be “One who profits by tho lose of others," as a “ Four-legged- animal,” and as “A man who fits gas and other things in our homes," Pessimist: “A man' who doesn’t like the Government,” "A person who pays people’s pensions,” “A man who professes to be a dentist,” “A doctor,” “A man that attends to people’s heads,” “A swarm of insects,” and “A man who always docs wrong.”
