Thursday, 22nd June. 10 A.M. to 1 P.M. N.B.-The drawing must be entirely free-hand, no instruments or mathematical aid of any kind being permitted; also the copies must be made on the same sheet of paper as that on which the patterns are fixed. The lines in examples 1 and 2 must be clear and even. You will find the solid objects you have to draw from affected by cross-lights; do not mind this, but represent them as you see them lighted. 1. Draw with pen and ink the straight lines AB, AC, and from the points B and C draw BD, CD at right angles to BA, CA; then join AD, and on AD as diameter describe a circle. 2. Copy with pen and ink the blade of the scissors fixed on your paper, and then complete the figure by drawing the other blade, taking the line AB as the axis of symmetry. 3. Make a pencil drawing in light and shade of the cone before you, the axis being vertical, and the scale the actual size. 4. Copy in accurate "fac-simile," with pen and ink, the woodcut from Durer on your paper. 5. Draw from memory the object shown for the purpose. A rapid sketch is what is required, but no note of any kind must be made during the exhibition of the object nor must the drawing be commenced till notice is given. The drawing must be at least four inches in height. In the afternoon you will be required to make a drawing from one of four different subjects, the selection being left to yourself; but as arrangements will have to be made in the rooms according to the numbers who select the different subjects, you are desired now to place your Index No. against the object named below that you prefer. The drawing is to be as complete as possible, and it may be done with pen or pencil, in sepia or in colour, as you think you can best represent it; always remembering that a thoroughly well finished drawing of a portion is very much better than a sketch or hasty drawing of the whole. The objects for you to select from are— Index No. 470 471 471 474 476 CONTENTS. CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA.-OPEN COMPETITION OF 1871: 1. Table of Marks 2. Professions, &c. of Fathers of Candidates 3.

NOTE.-The following extract from the Tenth Report of the Civil Service Commissioners refers to a change in the mode of assigning marks :—"It has already “been mentioned as one of the ruling principles of these examinations that no can"didate should be allowed any credit at all for taking up a subject in which he is a "mere smatterer. Hitherto we have thought it enough, in conformity with this principle, to strike out all marks which indicated less than a competent knowledge "of the subject selected; leaving those whose knowledge exceeded, by ever so little, the minimum of competence, to count all the marks assigned to them. We are of opinion, however, that superficial study may be more effectually discouraged by allowing no credit for slight knowledge even to those candidates who succeed "in passing beyond it. We propose, therefore, that from the marks of all can“didates alike a number answering to this slight knowledge shall be deducted; “but that it shall be possible, nevertheless, for any candidate who may show "remarkable proficiency in any subject to obtain the full number of marks allotted "to that subject." On this occasion a deduction of 125 has been made from the marks assigned in each subject. |
