SCHOOL CERTIFICATES

THE HEW EXAMINATION OTAGO PASSES Last year the Department of Education, with the object of providing for pupils of those schools with a wider curriculum than the ordinary high school or college, established a new examination for the “ School Certificate,” and the results of the first examination, which was held last November, have now come to hand. The school certificate examination is one of the same standard as the University entrance examination, and in most "of the subjects the papers are identical. The principal difference between this and matriculation is that the candidate is offered a, much wider choice of subjects and the certificate examination is consequently more suitable for pupils of schools such as the King Edward Technical College, agricultural colleges, and similar institutiousT All who gain passes in the matriculation examination arc automatically entitled to the school certificate, and, under certain conditions, candidates who are unsuccessful in one or other of the matriculation subjects may bo entitled to a partial pass in the school certificate examination. The Government departments will accept the certificate as of equal value to matriculation when application is being made for employment in the Public Service, and several semi-public bodies have also agreed to accept this qualification. It is hoped by the Department of Education that private employers will take the same view.

The following Otago candidates were successful (the -names being given in alphabetical order, and place of residence indicated only when outside Dunedin and suburbs);

Airs Brown awoke in the middle of Uio night. “ George,” she whispered, shaking her husband, “ there’s a burglar downstairs. I board him bump against the piano and strike some notes.” “ Oh, did yon?” said George, springing out of bed. ” I’ll go down at once.” “ George, George,” she cried, “ don’t do anything rash!” “ Bashl” he exclaimed. “ This is the chance of a lifetime. I’m going to help him. You don’t suppose he can move a fifty-year-old upright piano without help, do you?”
