DICTATION AND PENMANSHIP.

TWENTY MINUTES allowed for these Exercises.

You are not to paint your letters in the Copy-setting Exercise, but to take care that the copy is clean and without erasures. Omissions and erasures in the Dictation Exercise will be counted as mistakes.

The words must not be divided between two lines; there is plenty of room for the passage to be written.

Write in large hand, as a specimen of Penmanship, the word, Philosophy.

Write in small hand, as a specimen of Penmanship, the sentence,—

"Procrastination is the thief of time."

DICTATION.

You are to write the passage * dictated to you by the Examiner, and punctuate it correctly.

The passages A1, A2, were given alternately where the number of candidates was large, and there was danger of copying.

"These poems have every good gift, except that of poetry. The author has brought together the many records of such fancies as have occurred to him during a long and good life; the result being a volume of tender tokens of personal affection, sweet meditation, and reminiscences of half-forgotten scenes. But though we receive a grateful impression of the author's personal character from this collection, it cannot be concealed that those meditations, however pious and otherwise excellent, have not the qualities of poetry."

Ag.

"If we were to form our estimate of a man's worth and to measure his influence on the well-being of his fellow-creatures by the applause bestowed upon him during his life, the quiet labourers in the field of literature and art would hold a very inferior rank; and even those who, by their knowledge and experience in scientific matters, have contributed so much to the permanent welfare of mankind and the advancement of civilization, must yield in importance to the statesmen and heroes to whom a nation is indebted visibly for its prosperity and glory."

And blended form, with artful strife,
The strength and harmony of life."

Still, where rosy pleasure leads,

The strength and harmony of life."
