There is no doubt of the ability of exams to ruin a session's ,,-ork. It has been proved again and again by boys who have averages that are too close to the passing inark. Another point is the fact that an exam grade below si:~:ty fails one for the whole year. No matter what the preYious· work may have been, if too much leisure is taken during the last 11·eek, a year's labor may go to waste. A boy who is lax the final week may easily fail in
