Abstract
THE Departmental Committee on Examinations for Part-time Students was appointed in 1927 “to inquire and report as to the arrangements for the examination of students attending part-time schools under the regulations for further education, with particular reference to the place and value of examinations as an element in training for industrial, commercial, and professional activity.” Its report has just been published (London: H.M. Stationery Office, Is. net), and contains chapters—notably those on the purpose of examinations and the planning and conduct of examinations—which should be read by all teachers. It will be of special interest to teachers in technical institutions, since they particularly will be affected by its recommendations.
