NATIQNAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE
VI MOTION OF SOCUL SCIENCE •

YOE WiDNEsDAT, SLIT.
Y &del' day emoting ci mon saziene ware given at
the Assembly-reenie by the association, which was very
numerously &Waded.
To.lny the address to • general meeting of members was
delivereilny llr. Eoww CeanWrcc, CS., President at the
Department of Soosomy and Trade. The subject of the
address was "Social Soccimay."
The address was much applauded at intervals, and at its
elem, ea the motion of Lord Broughams, who presided,
a hearty vote of thanks was given to hlr. Chadwick.
The several departments resumed their witless at the
esaidasion of the general meeting.

FIRST DEPART!! FST. -JURISPRUDENCE AND THE

AMENDMENT OF THE LIW.
The first subject brought under discussions was that of
Capital Punishments, aad was introduced hp a paper read
by Mr. Bergs, "On the Deterrent Effects of Capital
Punishment," in which he alluded to the unsatisfactory
state of the law, sad urged that it must either be abolished
altogether or be administered with a firmer hand.
Mr. Nilfel2 (Sheriff of Londoe) delivered a paper, in
which be stated that while not exactly able to lay down an
opiuion on the atetract question, he could say from his per.
weal experience of capital executions that they exercised
btUs terror on the minds of the criminals or any deterrent
effect on those who witnessed them.

Mr. Elliott rather contended for capital punishments.
urging that since the diminution of the punishment for arson
sad forgery those crimes had increased.

The iis.;,sion was costumed for a cosaiderable time by
Dr. Waoldiluee, Mr. Neat'', M.P., astl others.

SECOND DEPARTMENT.—EDUCATION.
In • Paper by Miss Emily Davies, which was read by Yr.
J. G. Fitch, on Secondary Instructios as relating to Women,
it was pointed out that in the recent controversies oc the
education of boys, that of girls has been by general consent
left out of the account. After giving miaow by which this
silence may be accounted for, it was observed that the im-
pression thus conveyed to the public mind, that the educa-
tion of girls may be properly left to take care of itself, is not
justified by facts. Au inquiry was made into the results of
the education given, as shown by the physical and mantel
condition of women of the middle clam, and it
wu represented that as a role they are neither
highly cultivated in mind nor physically vigorous. The
change which has been brought about in homes by the in-
troduction of domestic machinery renders nsousary some
corresponding advance in education, as a mental and moral
discipline. The smpolicy of neglecting female education
wee urged on the ground that the ignorance and frivolity of
women invariably react upon the men with whom they
associate, sad it was suggested that the unsatisfactory stoma
public school education and the want of a high tone of thought
in men of the middle class may be traced to the influence
of mothers and wives, and sisters. who, having little culti-
vation themselves, are insensible of ita value. It wu con-
leaded that au improvement in the education of ladies would
have a powerful influence not only in their own homes but
in thou of the clauses below them, and that social
reforms on an extended scale might be looked for
as its icdireet result. This improvement would nut
necessarily imply any change in the customary curriculum of
girls' schools. It might be that improved methods and
greater encouragement only are required, but it was alleged
that if the school course is to terminate at the age of
eighteen, it is the more imperative that the education up to
that period should be wide and deep and humane in the
highest Possible degree. In conclusion, it wu suggested
that some of the old educational endowments might, per-
haps, be mule use of for the foundation of a few tint-rate
girls' schools, and that schemes of examination and inspec-
tion designed to raise the character of boys schools should
be extended to girls also.
The Rev. Mr. Norris having read • paper on "The ad-
mission of girls to the university local examinatioris," which
advocated the establishment of a special board of examine.
Lion, a discussion which must have been peculiarly inter-
esting to the large number of ladies who were
present, on the best mode of female education
generally, was taken, in which the subject was
thoroughly examined. The question of axarninatiosie for
&h. was specially considered, and although there was some
diversity of opinion, on the whole there appeared to be a
balance of feeling in favour of an endeavour, at least for the
present, to take advantage of the existing urguisauon of
university examinations.

Miss (imposter reed a paper `• On the Duty of Goren-
meet to Aid in the Educatioo of Children of the Perishing
and Neglected Classes." She stated that the crime of the
imantry is traceable to early neglect end igooloooo, and re-
ferred to the unanimous resolution of the Leads' Committee
of Ir 4 on Juvenile Offenders and Transportation, strongly
recommending an early" moral and religious, and industrial
training as the only means of lessening the number of
offenders, and diminishing the atrocity of their crimes." The
ragged school movement, commenced about 1846, was
directed to the portion of the population indicated by the
lords, which is untouched by ordinary schools. Ordinary
day schools never can touch those children, MOT =MAY the
kind of training they require. Thom schools are desirable
it they are made etlicieot to their object, and peculiarly
need help from the educational grant to make them so.
This bas never yet been afforded to the ragged schools, and
they have therefore remained es isolated efforts, weakly
supported, sod incapable of grappling with the uoderlyiog
mass of igeoniooo in the country. A very influential con-
ference was held in Birmingham is 1861, which woe founded
on the principle, "that it is the duty of the state to pro-
vide education for those who cannot obtain it for them-
selves." This bog not yet been dose. The old educational
eodewineets, which were intended for poor children sow
aid the middle and higher classes instead. The provisions
of the revised rale of education are not adapted to schools
for those children. They ought sot to be brought into
workhouse rchools, or certified industrial schools, which
require a magisterial sentence for admission they are there-
fore still unaided. Miss Carpenter strongly urged the neces-
sity of proper province being made for them. A discussion
followed the reading of this paper,

THIRD DEPARTIIENT.—HEALTH.
Several papers were reed ie Ibis department on 'objects
connected with the "Health of Women," on "Smoky
Chinioen," s:c., most of the othen being rather medically
heehaws!. Some interest was raised by the annoutmetnent
Pth paper would be presented from Him Florence Night-
cm the "Aboriginal Races in Australia ;" but the
paper peeved to be only • collection of facts extracted from
a work ow the subject, with • few introductory remarks by
Miss Nightingale.

FOURTH DEPARTMENT.—EOONOMY AND TRADE.
lo this department the special question for dist-mica was
" What are the effects on trade of the existiog laws of
maritime • 'glare."

In the disctunion which followed,
Lord Brougham said he wee against all piracy, sod
the fitting out of any vowels for the destruc-
tion of private property at sea was • specks
of piney. He doubted if plooder of private pro-
perty in war on shore was molly adopted u • system
Mr. flutings said that although even 30 the recent war
is Denmark there was pillage of private property, it wu
modernised by all civilised pigmies, but certainly an (nu-
ked and settled system of commercial plunder and destruc-
tion of private property at see wan unjustifiable on every
principle of hunianity and political omormay, while in refer-
ence to comireroe--and especially that of England—it was
'imp's. destructive to our moral and mercantile interesta.
Mr. Bathhouse, of Liverpool, argued that the misting syr
tent was calculated to destroy the mercantile marine. sod
with it most inevitably go the power and completeness of

Mr. Halt, of Liverpool, suggested as the best mesas of
preventing this country being eugaged in war, would be tie
withdrawal cf England altogether from the existing system
of di,.lomaey. and ailoptiog a pl.in of entire non-interfereoce
with foreign nations. He conteadesi that it was useless for
to enter into contracts fur the premervatioe of private
prcpvrty in war, which it was impossible to carry out in
practice and io detail. The only real thiog to be dons was
to keep the peace and not go to war.
-•—

Mr. Edgar ism, of opinion that there were mean. of carry-
ing out e-mtracts mitered into under international law,
namely. t y the operation of prize courts ; nor did be deem
it possildo for England to alienate herself politically and
diplomatimlly from the world.

The dismission wen continued for some time, and trakwell
sustained.

REFORMATORY SECTION.

After the reading of Sir Walter Croiti;;; ppaper, entitled
"A few Obeervatioas on the Discipline and Classification
recently iotioduced into Winchester Gaol," the following
reeolotinos were discussed and agreed to :
That io order to improve the discipline and clanifica-
tioa of pi:toners in our county gaols and houses of correc.
tine, and render their treatment more uniform throughout
the rountiy, it is desirable that the following provisices
should be int, whined by the Home Secretary i• the (:soh Bill
of next seoibli :--1. The abolition of all gaols deemed inade-
quate for the purpose*: carrying oat edit:Wet prison discipline.
2. The withholding of treasury allowance from all gaols in
which elective priona discipline shall sot have been carried
out in s.lib a manner as may appear to the Secretary of
State to fulfil the requirements of the law.
