If an examination was to be held in May, and entries had to be in by February a boy might make a mistake in estimat- ing his capabilities but, he should be in a position by the end of April to be quite certain as to his strongest subject.

A Man among men, knowing hus man life from inside, He spoke with unique and incontestable au- thority and not as the Scribes.
