COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The eigirtfc grade diploma examination was one of <uausual Interest throughout the county Saturday, March 15. Teachers, pupils apd county superintendent are satisfied that this examination was one of the surprises of the school Beason. The queries were unusually difficult as well as unfair in a number of the subjects. But this is only one Incident indorsing the growing antagonism to examinations of pupils and teachers. County Superintendent Sterrett will present a solution to the board of education at its regular meeting Monday, April 7, that will cure much of the inequity grounded upon such an examination. It is right that all pupils should take an examination of such a character that tests their ability to do high school work, but it is absolutely unfair when it does anything more or less.
