in this subject as contained in the catalogs of colleges and universities represented in the College Entrance Examination Board, and to some extent upon the Harvard outline of requirements in drawing. It was suggested that the board also add zoölogy to the list of subjects in which it holds examinations, but it was thought wise to postpone action in this respect, as there was in existence no generally accepted requirement in zoölogy.

Federico Edelmann, Teacher in the DeWitt Clinton High School, New York, N. Y. The examiners were furnished by the secretary with copies of the criticisms and suggestions that had been received relative to the questions set the preceding year, and they derived much valuable assistance from them. The board is extremely desirous that similar criticisms and suggestions may be received after the examinations of each year. The committee on revision, consisting of the thirteen chief examiners and of the five representatives of secondary schools upon the board, held a two-days' meeting on March 7 and 8. The proposed question papers were discussed at length and subjected to a thoro analysis. The time and care spent in the preparation and revision of the examination questions, together with the expert knowledge of which they had the benefit, are probably without a parallel in the history of the American colleges. Arrangements were made, as in the preceding year, for the publication of the questions in book form by Ginn & Co. of Boston. tions The examinations were held during the week The Examina- beginning Monday, June 16, in accordance with the time-schedule printed on pages 4445 of Document No. 8. The examinations were conducted in strict conformity with the rules prescribed in Document No. 8. The question papers, answer-books, instructions to supervisors and other necessary material were forwarded by express and safely arrived at every point in ample time before the examinations. Letters of transmission containing the slips bearing the examination numbers were sent to the supervisors by mail. Unfortunately, owing to a failure on the part of one or two supervisors to carry out fully the directions in regard to the return of the answer-books, or possibly in one case thru an unavoidable accident, two candidates suffered thru the loss of one or more answer-books. The total number of candidates examined was 1362, an increase of about 40 per cent. over the corresponding number (973) of the preceding year. Of the 973 candidates examined in 1901, 616 were examined in New York. The number of such candidates this year was 650. Thus the number of candidates examined by the board outside of New Y : nas increased in one year from 357 to 712, or almost exacuy one hundred per cent. The examinations were held at 130 points, Statistical Tables 125 in the United States, I in Canada, and 4 in Europe, as shown in the following table: TABLE I PLACES AT WHICH EXAMINATIONS WERE HELD JUNE 16-21, 1902, AND THE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES FOR EXAMINATION AT EACH PLACE |
