Our youth enter the primary schools; there they are given certain tasks to learn 3 in order to pass into a higher class they are questioned to ascertain how much they re member their entrance into still higher classes is deter mined by their progress, or in other Words, by What they remember. On entering the intermediate schools they have to pass examinations again to exhibit how much they remember of their past studies, and their progress through the various classes of the intermediate schools is continually determined by tests of memory.

To enter the high school they have another gauntlet of examinations to run - success in passing each of them being conditioned on the memory.
