nicure some parents would qualify for Standard Oue!

For instance, one section is given i up to sentences which have to be completed with the appropriate word

of four.

Here are examplex:--Me ik you, asmine is to-yours, his, hers, thoirs;

sea, warfare; Pocket is to coat as cupboard is to room, trousers, purse, drawer; Some thing is to nothing as riches are to wealth, poverty, money, miserliness. There is a time limit for the atısavera. READ THIS CAREFULLY Later comes this passage: "The party rode for eight or, it might be, nine, mes until the sun began to slope down to the west, and their hadows grew longer and longer on the road in front of them.

"Careful and wars they had to be for there were unseen but watchful eyes on every side. It was a relief to them all when the track opened on to a wide main road and they saw in the distance the pince towards the place where which they traveled and shelter for themselves a and their animals."

Having read the passage, the child, in a set linie, must answer these questions from the answers given:-

How many people were travelling? Eight or nine? It does not tell us enough to say,

How do you think they travelled?— On foot In motor cars? On horse- unck?

What time of day was it?-Morn- lag, evening, or night?

In what direction were they travel- ling North, south, east, or west? Did the party see the watchers? Yes or no? It

Were the watchers friends or enemies?-friends? Enemies?
