Chief "Inspector, reported to the Board of Eduioaltlioii last night as folloiws:—^Th'e syenebnanous exexamiaiation for proficiency certifioates was held on Fridiay last, the oandadatr es attending the large schools having been previiously examined.; by the inspectors jpersonaJly. This exiaim'inla.tion enibails an enormous amount of work. As there iare. well over la fthousand candtidiates, there are about 9500 separate papers to correct, and rtihe inspectors (have to work night and tLay to get the results out before the schools close for the holiday:* It is ia question' whether the time has not come when the r€sponsiibili+- of mauch of this work should fall on the head teaclxers of large schools, in taocordiariqe wdth a provision expressly recognised' iby the regufliataons. The (inspectors could look into all. doubtful oases and cases expressly referred to him by the luelad teacbere. This, I may add, is the .practice ToMowed in. Victoria.
