Even then she didn't give the matter up, but laid it before the crown. But poor Yorke had offended government helped some fool or another through one of them public examinations; he had wits enough for any thing, had that young fellow.

The one child has acquired the habit of saying "six times nine is fifty-four"; the other has not. There is no more need of "thought" in this than there is when a horse turns into his accustomed stable; there are merely more numerous and complicated habits. There is obviously an observable fact called "knowing" such-and-such a thing; examinations are experiments for discovering such facts.
He sympathized with and supported Schurz in his introduction into the Interior Department of competitive examinations for appointments and promotions, and he himself extended that system to the custom-houses and post-offices of the larger cities.

He has passed his examinations for collector and goes to Pithiviers- -unless by pull, we could get him as substitute at La Chatre. Do you know M. Roy, the head of the management of the domains? If by chance the princess knew him and would be willing to say a word to him in favor of young Simonnet? I should be happy to owe her this joy for his family and this economy for his mother who is poor.
It was that various concessions should be made to the supposed weakness of women students and that the pass mark in examinations should be lowered for them.
Keith writes you the work-a-day news. If so, you know that I have finished all the geometry, and nearly all the Algebra required for the Harvard examinations, and after Christmas I shall begin a very careful review of both subjects. You will be glad to hear that I enjoy Mathematics now. Why, I can do long, complicated quadratic equations in my head quite easily, and it is great fun! I think Mr.
According to Herodotus, female corpses were embalmed by women. Herod. The subject is treated in great detail by Pettigrew, History of Egyptian Mummies. London. 1834.
