I accept this; but in becoming man he found himself, at the same time, a man of the seventeenth century and a Frenchman. Only the French art of the seventeenth century could succeed in amusing honest folk, for it consists in leading by an agreeable path to general notions. 10 2. (a.) Frangaisde:— The man of whom I speak: The table of which I think. The boys whom I see. Whom do you call? I give you all I have. (?).)

Ce nom ne fait aucun scrupule a prendre, et l'usage aujourd'hui semble en autoriser le vol. Pour moi, je vous l'avoue, j'ai les sentiments sur cette matiere un peu delicats. Je trouve que toute imposture est indigne d'un honnete homme, et qu'il y a de la lftchete a deguiser ce que le ciel nous a fait naitre, a se parer aux yeux du monde d'un titre derobe, a se vouloir donner pour ce qu'on n'est pas. Je suis n& de parents, sans doute, qui ont tenu des charges honorables. Je me suis acquis dans les annes l'honneur de six ans de services, et je me trouve assez de bien pour tenir dans le monde un rang assez passable; mais, avec tout cela, je ne veux point me donner un nom oft d'autres, en ma place, croiraient pouvoir pretendre. 25 2.

Je ne saurais me tenir de rire de le voir fagote' de la sorte. (5.) Comme je le fus voir, et que j'entends parfaitement la langue, il s'entretint avec moi. (6.) Formez cinq phrases avec les expressions suivantes: de gra.ee!—prefer l'oreille— au premier jour—force gens—comme il faut—-(donnez l'anglais). 10 4. Traduisez:— II ne put en dire plus long, il pleurait. L'empereur, a la lueur des feux allumes de toutes parts, vit que la jument etait atteinte d'un eclat d'obus &. la cuisse gauche. II croisa les mains derriere son dos, sous les basques de sa redingote, et dit: " GuSrissez-vous tous deux, je le veux! Quand vous serez gueris, allez-vous en au pays des Cotes, vous m'avez bien servi. Seulement je retiens son premier poulain pour ma garde, et, dans vingt ans d'ici, tu m'enverras ton ills k toi: j'en ferai un officier." " Oui, mon empereur."

M 180 Public Schools Report. 1925 English Composition. (Time, 3 hours.) Value. 10 1. Point out definitely the particular principles violated in the following sentences, and recast in more satisfactory form:— (a.) I live two miles from college, which makes the trip to and from a short and untedious one. («.) Miss Edwards lectured with stereopticon views, at Chickering Hall, with a musical voice, her broken left arm in a sling, on Egypt, five or six thousand miles away, (o.) The ship then struck a rock, she began to slowly and steadily sink, and the waves finally enveloped her. (a\) I doubt very much if anyone has a harder day than this one, especially as it comes on Monday, and Sunday is not a good day for studying, even if you have no religious scruples concerning it. (e.) We went home, after all our misfortunes, glad to get one night's sleep, anyhow. 20 2. Discuss the principles of good paragraph structure as exemplified in the following, and indicate clearly the means of explicit reference:— "Every educated person has at least two ways of speaking his mother tongue. The first is that which he employs in his family, among his familiar friends, and on ordinary occasions. The second is that which he uses in discoursing on more complicated subjects, and in addressing persons with whom he is less intimately acquainted. It is, in short, the language he employs when he is ' on his dignity' as he puts on evening dress when he is going to dine. The difference between these two forms of language consists, in a great measure, in a difference in vocabulary. The basis of familiar words must be the sain3 in both, but the vocabulary appropriate to the more formal occasion will include many terms which would be stilted or affected in ordinary talk. There is also considerable difference between familiar and dignified language in the matter of utterance. Contrast the rapid utterance of our every-day dialect, full of contractions and clipped forms, with the more distinct enunciation of the pulpit or the platform. Thus in conversation we habitually employ such contractions as I'll, don't, he'd, and the like, which we should never use in public speaking unless of set purpose, to give a markedly colloquial tinge to what we have to say." 10 3. Discuss the chief points to be considered in the planning and construction of an expository theme. Illustrate your answer by making an outline for your answer to question 4. 60 4- Write an expository essay of at least two pages on one of the following:— (a.) One Characteristic of Contemporary Poetry. (6.) Presence of Mind, (c.) Cross-word Puzzles. 16 Geo. 5 Part III.—Appendices. M 181 Chemistry. (Time, 3 hours.) [Questions are of equal value.

Mention three different phenomena which indicate dissociation or ionization in solution. (6.)' Compare the kinds of ions present when an acid, an alkali, and a salt respectively are dissolved in water, and show by means of equations what happens to the ions when an acid is neutralized by an alkali. 3. (a.) Compare the action of hot concentrated sulphuric acid on a chloride, on a bromide, and on an iodide. (6.) Write equations for the action of chlorine on (i) water, (ii) an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, and (iii) methane. 4. (a.) Describe the theory and practice of the Haber process for the manufacture of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. (6.) Write by means of partial equations the complete equations for the action of (i) concentrated nitric acid and (ii) dilute nitric acid, on metallic copper. 5. (a.) If diamonds are a form of carbon, why are they not manufactured synthetically from carbon on a commercial scale? (6.) Write the equation illustrating the solution of limestone in water charged with carbon dioxide. What variety of hardness would this produce in water? Describe with equations two methods by which this hardness could be removed. 6.

What is "superphosphate"? Write its formula. How is it made and what is it used for? 10. 3 grams of metallic zinc are dropped into 100 c.c. of 1.85 normal hydrochloric acid. What would be the normality of the acid after the zinc had dissolved? 11. What is the formula of a compound having the following composition: Fe.—=36.761%; S—21.106%; 0=42.132%? 12. What volume would be occupied by the hydrogen obtained when 1 gram of metallic sodium is dropped into an excess of water, if measured over water at 21° C. and at 740 mm. pressure? Atomic weights: H=l, 0=16, S=32, Zn=65.37, Fe=55.9; Na=23. Vapour pressure of water at 21° C.=18.5 mm. VICTORIA, B.C. : Printed by Charles F.
