He leisurely hangs up his hat and coat, spreads out his papers, and takes from his pocket an inkstand and a common steel pen.

...schools fail to make adequate provisions for a thorough study of these branches. It is now proposed to compel the candidates for admission to obtain a suitable "fit," by demanding a laboratory examination in addition to the usual written examination. The men would, moreover, be required to hand in note-books containing full data of the experiments performed during the school course, signed by the head master of their respective schools. This step would be taken to oblige the preparatory schools to secure proper apparatus and laboratory accommodations. The following are the list of proposed subjects, divided into Elementary...
