The attainments possible for Brazilian students for the ministry are, in several of the departments, very limited. Advanced Latin, Greek, or Mathematics are not dreamt of, though some knowledge of such subjects is general. The final examination by the School authorities in English, French, Portuguese, History (Brazilian and Universal), Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Geography, Rhetoric, and Physics are accepted by the Presbytery when the school certificate is presented by candidates for licensure. |
