An Educational Paper, published on the 15th of each Month, Post free, 5s. 6d. per annum. THIS Paper was started with a view to meet the wants of a yearly increasing number of persons offering themselves as Candidates for the Cambridge Junior, Senior, Higher Local, and Teacher's Examinations. It was proposed by a staff of experienced Teachers to publish on the 15th of every month, except July and August, a periodical bearing the above title, which should contain Examination Papers on progressive portions of the work being prepared for Examination. The The papers are set by ladies holding University Honour Certificates, who are engaged in preparing pupils for the Cambridge Examinations. The names of the Examiners appear against their subjects. Examiners are willing to correct and comment upon answers to the questions from Students requiring assistance and direction in their work. The fee for such correction of one set of papers (i.e. for answers to the questions on all the subjects one Candidate takes up for examination) is £3 38. per annum, payable yearly or half-yearly in advance. The fee for the correction of papers on one subject only is £1 18. per annum. Reduction is allowed to Teachers, and to pupils of Schools from which more than three sets of papers are sent. The Cambridge Examiner has proved a great assistance to Students preparing by themselves for examination. It tends to counteract any tendency to cramming, or working in a groove in Schools, by the introduction of an exterior influence; and to familiarize Candidates with answering written questions in the best methods. A few remarks are appended to each number on any points in the answering of the questions which may seem to the Editor sufficiently conspicuous to deserve public notice. Post Office Orders for The Cambridge Examiner, also for the correction of papers, should be made payable to the Editor, M. HEWETT, P. O.
