THE HE object of this Periodical is to assist Students in preparing for the Oxford Junior, Senior, and Women's Examinations; and it will consist of a series of papers containing progressive portions of their work-both necessary and optional. The papers will be set by women only; either those holding University Honour Certificates, or those who are engaged in teaching on the Modern System, and who, from much practical experience in their work, have proved themselves both energetic and efficient Mistresses. The names of the Examiners will appear against their subjects (unless such Examiners be but temporarily engaged), and accompanied by their full title; and in order that no misapprehension should arise as to those titles, it is to be clearly understood that the object of the present form of wording (see outside cover) is to mark the distinction, the very great distinction, between those who have obtained Honour Certificates in the Higher Local, and those who (though informally) have been permitted to take the examination papers of a Tripos. "Attained the standard of a 1st (2nd or 3rd) class in the Tripos," would probably be the correct formula; but this, as a title, is both lengthy and unsatisfactory. The Examiners will be willing to correct and comment on the several papers, and in every way assist those Students who may require further guidance or direction in their work. The fees for correction of papers, all of which must be paid in advance, are fully stated elsewhere. A reduction of 15 per cent. will be allowed to those engaged in tuition, or to pupils of schools from which at least. Six Candidates send papers. Post Office Orders for the Oxford Examiner, also for the Correction of Papers, should be made payable to The Editor, M. W. I. SHILLETO, General Post Office, Warrington, and all communications should be addressed to THE EDITOR, The Oxford Examiner, 162, MANCHESTER ROAD, WARRINGTON. The Rudiments of Faith and Religion.
