EXAMINATIONS

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

EDWARD DONALD SCHIVE

Since the dawn of civilization mortals have been attempting to improve their lives and to approach perfection. For this purpose standards have been set up by which to measure and evaluate progress. When these have proved to be deficient, new and supposedly better ones have been adopted.

In its human planning, the world has evolved a system, generally termed education, in which one studies the writings and theories of predecessors, is examined periodically on what he understands or remembers, and is graded accordingly. These grades determine progress through schools and are usually-combined with aptitude tests to indicate fitness for college.
