not  further  than  simple  proportion,  and  a  composition  on  some  specified  sub- 
ject. Application  must  be  made  to  the  Actuary,  Thos.  S.  Wiegand,  at  least  one 
week  prior  to  that  date,  a  fee  of  two  dollars  to  be  deposited  at  the  time 
which  will  be  returned  in  case  of  failure  to  pass.  The  record  of  successful 
applicants  will  be  made  as  full  as  possible,  embracing  all  information  obtain- 
able that  will  be  of  probable  use  to  employers  in  search  of  assistants.  The 
existence  of  such  a  register  will  be  of  material  aid  to  those  desiring  properly 
quilified  apprentices,  and  would  become  the  recognized  means  of  bringing 
together  the  employer  and  his  juniors.  It  is  earnestly  desired  that  members 
of  the  College  and  all  others  interested  in  the  advancement  of  our  profession 
should  avail  themselves  of  these  efforts  in  their  behalf,  and  make  the  pos- 
session of  the  Apprentice  Examination  Certificate  a  necessity  to  entrance  into 
their  store-,  unless  they  are  fully  satisfied  that  the  applicant  has  the  requisite 
foundation.  Young  men  desiring  to  enter  upon  the  study  of  pharmacy  will 
find  in  this  certificate  a  pass-port  of  available  value  in  their  search  fur  em- 
ployment, and  there  is  no  room  for  doubt  that  rejections  for  defective  scholar- 
ship at  the  Junior  examinations  would  be  materially  lessened  in  number  and 
the  st  mdard  raised.
