DAILY EXAMINATIONS.

In the daily examinations the student is questioned both upon the
subjects of the preceding lecture and such portions of the text-book

as may have been designated by the Professor. His preparation
thus tested is noted numerically at the time of examination, and
the mean of these numbers, indicating his average standing in each
class, is communicated to his parent or guardian in the printed
circular which is sent home at the close of every month.

The literary value attached to the numbers thus used is seen in
the following table:

           

5	signifies very well prepared.
4	signifies well prepared.
3	signifies tolerably prepared.
2	signifies badly prepared.
1	signifies very badly prepared.
0	signifies entirely unprepared.
