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:

           
signifies very well prepared. 
signifies well prepared. 
signifies tolerably prepared. 
signifies badly prepared. 
signifies very badly prepared. 
signifies entirely unprepared.
