Every one is anxious to get on in the world, and recognizes that knowledge is power. The modern system of written examinations tends to a wrong idea of education. Unfor tunately character has no value in deciding whether or not a candi date is to pass an examination. The boy who fails in algebra may be debarred from matriculation, even though his principles are good. On the other hand, 'one who has not sufficient will power to abstain from the use of cigars may be admitted to the university by barely making one-third of the marks in each subject. Progress in character does not receive due recognition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
