It is important to remark that any student whose mean credit, given in the eighth column of the preceding table, in any branch of study does not exceed three, or whose general mean credit for the whole of the studies being the arithmetical mean of all the values recorded in the eighth column, and given at the bottom in the example, does not exceed six, is considered to possess an insufficient amount of instruction to warrant his being permitted to pass into the first division for the second year’s course. He is accordingly excluded from the school, unless he has been prevented from pursuing his studies by illness, in which case, when the facts are thoroughly established, he will be allowed a second year’s study in the second division, comprising the first year’s course of study.
[We now pass to the second annual] or great final examination for admission to the public services, remarking only that in the interrogations générales of the second year the principal subjects of both years are included.
The final examinations for admission into the public service commence about the 10th September, and last about one month. They are conducted by the same examiners who examined at the close of the first year. These are five in number, and appointed by the minister of war. One of these takes analysis; a second, mechanics; a third, descriptive geometry and geodesy; the fourth, physics; and the fifth, chemistry.
The examination in military art and topography is conducted by a captain of engineers specially appointed for the purpose; and in the same manner the examination in German is carried on by a professor, usually a civilian, specially but not permanently appointed.
