The part of a word to which the hyphen is attached should be an integral part; that is, an entire syllable, and not merely certain letters composing only a part of a syllable. =Quotation Marks.=--Quotation marks (“”) are used to distinguish a word, phrase, clause, sentence, or passage taken word for word, from any source outside that of the writing into which it is inserted. A quotation within a quotation is marked off only by a single inverted comma before and after it. But a quotation within the second quotation requires double marks. A passage quoted, not word for word, but only in substance, is often distinguished by but one quotation mark before and after it. =Capital Letters.=--In examinations containing papers the rating of which is determined in part by correctness in the use of capital letters the average candidate is usually at a disadvantage. The following rules, if committed to memory, will enable the candidate to avoid errors which, if made, might cause him to fail in the examination. The first word of every sentence should begin with a capital letter. The days of the week, the months of the year, and holidays. The names of places and countries; as, England, Yonkers, Belmont Park, etc. The names of States, Mountains, Rivers and Lakes. All words used to signify the Deity; as, He, Him, His, Thou, Thee, Thine, etc. The names of persons, the titles of persons, and the titles of books; as, John Brown, Lord Salisbury, Senator Mitchell, “The Marble Faun.” The first word in every line of poetry. The pronoun I, and the exclamation O, or Oh. The first word of a direct quotation should also begin with a capital; as, “To thine own self be true.” CHAPTER X. HOW COMPETITORS ARE JUDGED. Methods by Which the Examiners Keep Candidates’ Identity Secret. After the examination, which is conducted with the most scrupulous care to guard against favoritism or fraud, the local examiners arrange the papers by sheets or subjects and all are forwarded under seal to the United States Commission. When they are reached in the order of rating, they are distributed by sheets to the examiners, Examiner A being given all of sheets 1, Examiner B all of sheets 2, Examiner C all of sheets 3, and so on, the sheets being distributed to as many examiners as there are subjects in the particular examination to be rated. After the papers are rated in the first instance they are redistributed, and the first rating is reviewed by other examiners.
