As pupils begin the study of the higher branches after passing this examination, the questions are made to em- brace all that is practical in the above branches. In all these 6,000 questions not a single unimj)ortant or "catch"''' question can be found. These questions have been published in one neatly bound volume, and separately in pamphlet form. They are now used as text-books in many of the leading schools of the country. Cornell University, recognizing their practical character, now admits, without further examination upon these Bubjects, pupils who have passed an examination upon these questions. The following TEN EDITIONS are now published: 1. The Regents' Questions in Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar and Spelling, complete, with Keys to the Arithmetic, Geography and Grammar Questions, and portrait of Chancellor Pruyn, 16mo, cloth $2.00 2.
