III. Examinations The flt-ness of an ap-plicant for the work of any class is not determined 'by his grading in the school -he previously attended: it is as- certained by written examinations. T-he y-ear's work ln any class calls for s-peclflc knowledge on which to 'bull-d and is im-possible without this knowled-ge. llf, however, a boy proves de- ficient in one subject only, he may b-e allowed a 'brief time in which to overcome his de- flciency. The rule is'inflexi'bl-e that before promotion must come examination. Neither absence nor sickness excuses. A boy must obtain a pass average in each of the main subjects. S-houlrl a boy fall within ten -points to reach any of these four averages, he is mllowed as a favor to stand an oral examination in 'che branches of that ubject, to see if he can raise his av- erage to the required flgure. He is said to be conditioned in that sufbject. IS-h-oul-d he suc- ceed the second time he is counted as havin-g passed.
