As will be seen in our "Correspondence," just complaint is once more made about the marks in English. It seems very hard that something cannot be done to insure fairer marking. The instructor seems deaf to all remonstrance, and after each examination warnings are so numerous that to receive one is the rule rather than the exception. It certainly seems a great pity that men should be afraid to take the English and German courses because of the apparent certainty of a condition, or, at best, of a very low mark. Where the system of taking off so much for each mistake is followed, a man is marked, not on what he does, but on what he fails to do. In courses where marking by the "curve system" is in vogue, we cannot of course complain, as that system is said to be "absolutely infallible." However, when we hear of a man whose mark was something like minus 18 on the mid-years, rated, on a subsequent consultation of the "curve," at nearly plus 40, we begin to fear that even equations and curves may err. We trust other instructors, seeing that the curve is for once wrong, will be led to overlook their mid-year calculations, and perhaps make a similar pleasing correction.
