It is to be remarked, however, that it is possible for an absentee to attain the maximum mark by allowing the subject of the examination to stand against him as a condition, "to be removed in the usual way." It is, moreover, probable that a large proportion, if not a majority, of the cases of excused absentees will be unaffected by the sixty per cent maximum provision, since the marking will be done on a scale of a hundred, and not of sixty. That is, full credit will...
