Leaving Examinations.

The restricted number of places in secondary schools makes writ- ten examinations necolaary and no method of final selection will be found more equitable or effective than a modified external examina- tion.

The committee recommend the establishment of a joint committee of the local education authorities. and the tenchors, including, if possible, representatives of the Board of Education, to "pursue and encourago research into the technique of examining."
