EXAMINATIONS

Judged by examination results the school may be said to have done well. Of the Arty boys who ast the School Certificate Exami- ration thirty-five passed, one with honours and fourteen distinctions were obtained. Other classes did equally well "in their respective examinations.

SCHOOL CERTIFICATE The new School Certificate Examination, run by the. Educa tion Office and to be held for the first time this year, wil. mot qualify for matriculation. A win ner of this certificate wishing to enter the University will have to continue his studies at school for at least-another-year, This, we hope, will enable the schools to devote themselves to their proper task which, in my opinion, is to provide a training ground for citizenship and a preparation for life.
