the following year he adopted credit 68 his profession. He had to bis action. in his long career twenty-oven Seuiar Wranglers and more than forty Smith's Prizomen. His wonderful snacess was fratly due to the fact that he had studied the. esture of the Tripos Examination for a long number of years with the minutest care, both from the point of view of the book werk and the problems. Ha reduced his methods of instruction almost to a scieuse. Machine" was of the essence of Dr. Routh's being. To encourage facility he used to not every week a problem paper which all his pupils were invited to attack, and at the end of the following weak ho gavo in manuscript his own solatione of these problems which were always pres inted in the simplest and most methodical form.
It would be a tras oriticisms to say that Reath's methods of teaching never appeared very greatly calenlated to elicit originality na the part of his pupils. Bu, in point of fact, if he had been asked about this, he would probably have said it was no part of his business to stimulate originality, but that his business was to prepare his pupils to obtain marks. Aud in this he succeeded in a prfectly astonishing degree. The truth was bis mind was fixed upon what produced the best result in the examinations. His own capacity for assimilat.
