This will prevent a Candidate from issued singly. spreading out the sheets on the table so as to enable his neighbour to look over the problems. It will also enable the examiner to look over and report upon the work on one half sheet, while the Candidate is at work upon another. When the errors are not too numerous, the in- correct problems may be returned to the Candidate for correction, but in no case should the errors be pointed out by the examiner, neither should marks be made which would indicate how far or to what extent the work is incorrect. The incorrect problems are not to be re- turned to the Candidate for correction a second time, and should more than one of the problems- -or two if the errors are only slight-be still incorrect, this would involve a failure. It must be understood, however, that the day's work, latitude by meridian and ex-meridian altitude of sun and star, chronometer problem by sun and star, and the Sumner problem, must always be correct.
