Cambridge University Local Examinations: The sixteenth annual report was published on Tuesday, it shows that 2,020 junior boys entered for examination, that 1,921 were examined, that 61, equal to 5 per cent, passed. Of junior girls 668 entered, 431 were examined, 76, equal to 6 percent passed. Of senior girls, 410 entered, 285 were examined, 68 equal to 8 (per cent), passed in almost all subjects. The examiners reported that the examination showed a fair amount of knowledge; the answers to memory questions being generally good. On the other hand, they found a want of thought and attention to the subject and complained of the cumbrousness of the methods adopted in arithmetic and grammar. Languages were not very satisfactory, though some good, prepared translations were given, the chief faults being inaccuracy. Drawing and music had not improved. The scholarships offered by St. John’s College for success in local examinations were awarded to H. C. Pinsent, Amersham Hall School, pure and applied mathematics; and A. T. S. Goodrick, Great Yarmouth Grammar School, Latin and Greek. Hatherton Scholarship for Staffordshire candidates awarded to A. L. Felkin, Wolverhampton Grammar School.
