NUMEROUS cases of brain-fog and actual insanity from over study have recently occurred in England.

NOT long ago, an examiner at the London University, speaking to another examiner, boasted of the puzzling questions he had been ingenious enough to ask, whereupon the other replied, to my great satisfaction, "You should try and find out how much, not how little, the students know." I should have no fear of questions being unreasonable put by a wise, common-sense professor like this, whereas some learned men expect a student to reach in a few months the level of their own mature knowledge. - D.
