LAW STUDENTS' INTELLMENCE.—At the meeting
et the Birmingham Law Society, on Saturday, Mr. J. W.
Whateley in the chair, a report from the committee was
read, from which the following is an extract :—" There
have been three preliminary examinations in Birmingham
daring the year for articled clerks ; at the first 14 were
examined, of whom nine were passed by the special ex-
aminers; at the second I:: students were examined. of
whom seven passed ; and at the third 15 were examined,
of whom 12 palmed. The necessity for such examinations
is fully shown by the amount of inefficiency in the very
first elements of education—reading and writing—dis-
played by some of the candidates. The local examiners
Lave had, in some cases, to refute even their certificate
for reading, and the dictation papers frequently disclose
an utter inability to spell correctly on the part of can•
didates, moat of whom appear to be of respect-
able parentage, and all of whom are, of course,
Presumed to have completed their education pre-
paratory to entering our learned profession. The want
of thoroughness, indeed, in the groundwork of edu-
cation Is extraordinary, considering the standing of the
schools at which the candidates appear frequently to have
been educated. The same want of thoroughness is also
observable in the inure advanced and yet primary subjects
of a liberal education—the answers given to very simple
questions in geography and history being at times very re-
markable ; as, for instance, placing the Alps in the Island
of Sardinia, describing the Duke of Marlborough as a
famous British admiral, who commanded the Armada, and
our great dramatist, Ben Janson, as celebrated for his dic-
tionary. These examples sufficiently demonstrate the ne-
cessity which existed for the preliminary examinations in
general knowledge, as • means of testing the fitness of a
student to enter the ranks of a liberal profession ; and the
result in raising the character of that profession by the
exclusion of illiterate or imperfectly educated persons
cannot but be highly ben • "
