SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

(TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")

Snt,—I am surprised to find that in more than one note on the subject, you, like the Bishop of Manchester in more than one speech, have ignored an important part of the work that is being done now, at least by the University of Cambridge, in examining schools. From the regulations, which I enclose, you will see that the University is willing to undertake the examination of the whole of any school, boys and girls alike, for a fee which is very moderate, except in the case of a large school.—I am, Sir, &c.,

AN EXAMINER TO THE CAMBRIDGE SYNDICATE.

[We were not acquainted with this rule. But it is not a rule. of the Joint-University Board, but of the Syndicate of the Uni- versity of Cambridge alone.—En. Spectator.]
