The question was on the arithmetic paper:—Suppose: that a, crawling cabman drives at the rate of three miles an hour and that he; is fifty yards m front of another orawler who is ■!■ going at the rate of four miles an hour, f,.:; where would, the two meet ? No. less j than four children out of a class of nine answered m identically the ; same i words. " The two cabmen," they de-<. clared " would meet at the first pub J, they came to.'
