...smoking a cigarette. Every so often he gets up with a bored look, to tend to his duties. He throws down a red cushion to signify a gory head, tosses pieces of paper around to depict a snowstorm, etc. The sheer artificiality of this conventional, pseudo-Chinese method of representation is at first somewhat startling, then vaguely amusing, but finally becomes pretty bore-some. However, the completely disinterested attitude of the Property Man, who never says a word during the entire performance, does furnish a certain amount of entertainment...

In many cases, this deficiency has reached such a degree that the papers are not returned at all. In others the papers are handed back with the only marks on them a column of figures denoting the number of points obtained on each question. There are, in short, few courses in which the correcting of examinations is of any definite value to the student...
