SE.MESTER EXAMS Semester examinationh are very belpful to the student who is. prepar- mg for college. Thèse ex aminations are similar to the o'nes that are given in coflege; they give the student ex. cellent training in marshaling 'the important facts of the semester in a logical way; the examinations give the students a definite goal in the or- ganization of the daily lesson; and they leave the student with a clear remembrance of the entire course. O n the other hand the examinations take at Ieast. a separate week; they are long and ýdifficuit to make out and to correct; they oftentimes de- termine too- much. of a studëets, grade; and-often, they'leave- the stu- dent's mind full of a lot of useless facts. *New Trier does flot have semester examinations but it is perhaps for the best. New Trier is modern. It ap- plies everyday business methods to ail parts of its curricular. In a miod- ern business when a person is pro- moted from one department to an-, other or f rom one position to another. he is not given an examination before he is promnoted, but bis entire record is the basis.for'his promotion; so it- is at New Trier.
