With regard to the second question, we believe the rule is to require half marks on each head--surelj no one can demur to this, since it would hardly be possible to accept any less standard? The fault must, therefore, lie with the examinees themselves. In the interest of candidates for future Intermediate Examinations, we propose to devote a short space to pointing out in what respects we think candidates are "at fault," and thereby fail at their Examination. In the first place, students for the Intermediate, as a rule, leave their work too late; they commence to read the wide and difficult subjects now selected for them at a time when they should be commencing their revision; how is it possible for the student, who has as yet no knowledge of the lav, to acquire a proper knowledge of over 2,000 pages of closely written and important matter in three months? Yet how many students for the Intermediate think this sufficient. The work for the Intermediate should commence twelve months before the Examination--during the first six months the Commentaries should be carefully gone through and noted, and test questions answered every week. During the next three months the work should be gone through again, more test papers done, and the important statutes annotated. This would leave three months for special revision work. The student who adopts such a course as this would have little difficulty in satisfying the Examiners that he had studied the Commentaries sufficiently to entitle him to their certificate of success. Moreover, by thus extending his work over a proper period, it will be unnecessary for the student to be absent for any length of time from his...
