Plow difficult it is to conduct an examination in this way, and to vary the questions on very elementary syllabuses, those only who have tried are able to say. The examination, without necessitating bad teaching, en- couraged it, for the number of possible questions on narrow and elementary syllabuses was small, and SCIENCE SYLLABUSES 127 scholars who got by heart the answers to these might acquit themselves creditably.
