recltatlons and Uhose for competitions or ex- aminations are explicwble. The daily lessons are answered orally and are fresh in' the mem- ory, besides being 'briefg while the questions in competitions are on matters seen some time previous an-d already -blurred by fresher knowl- edge, are to be answered in writing and are consequently more closely noted. A further point to be observed is tlhat some- times a boy receives very good marks for ap- plication and rather 'poor marks for recltations or homework. Wllllngness and success are broadly diilferent things. Monthly reports are not sent out for Decem- ber and May, their place being taken in those months by notification of the examination re- sults. A 'Phe reports are made for and to the parents. They should be carefully scrutinized and, -if necessary, discussed with the Vice-President. They should .be returned to the Vice- President within the week of issue. I ' .10
