The marks given at the end of each term are expressed, not in number, but by certain adjectives as very high, low, medium, etc. These correspond to fixed grades, so that one can tell approximately his numerical work as very high means nine-tenths on a scale of ten. For the awarding of prize scholarships the class average for the year is considered alone. To decide about prizes usually special examinations are held, involving extra work...
