4. The Examiner in Agriculture (Mr. Primrose McConnell, 
B.Sc.) reports that “on comparing the marks with last year, I 
find that the standard of the two examinations is just about equal, 
both as regards the proportion of the marks earned and the propor- 
tion of failures. The general quality of the papers kept on improv- 
ing up till last year, and it is very satisfactory to note that the high 
standard then attained has been again reached. This is gratifying 
in view of the fact that the candidates have no selection of ques- 
tions, and must have a pretty wide acquaintance with actual farm 
management.” 
5. Upon the whole, the results of the Examination are satisfactory. 
In two of the eleven schools the subject of Agriculture appears to be 
a weak point ; but, taken altogether, the large proportion of successes 
is an indication of the practical nature of the instruction given. A 
noticeable feature this year is the small number of failures in the 
subjects of Mechanics and Land Surveying, upon which the Ex- 
aminer (the Rev. Professor Twisden, M.A.) reports favourably.
