Excerpt from Speech by the Hon.: G. W. Ross, Minister of Education, on the Policy of the Education Department After referring to some of the criticisms of the Opposition on questions of general policy, Mr. Ross then proceeded to consider the criticisms on the Education Department. He said I do not consider it necessary to discuss the subject of School Examinations as an academic question. Everybody admits the utility of examinations for two purposes, (1) as a guide to the student with respect to the thoroughness of his work and the extent and accuracy of his acquirements, and (2) as a guarantee to the public of scholarship. The value of examinations depends very largely on the judgment of examiners. N o doubt they are liable to abuse. They are often technical rather than comprehensive a test of memory more than a test of judgment. To such contingencies all examinations are liable, and yet, in every University and College in the world, and under every known organized system of education, they are considered an indispensable test of promotion as well as of attainments. To say that examiners should be broader-minded and teachers and professors should pay more attention to the instruction of their pupils and students, regardless of the con sequence oi the examination, is to state what everybody admits is the first duty of an educator.
