The Boston Social Seizure Association,

such subjects said ''Whcn a school cat,

ISOLATION that we were wrong III such ex-
cellcnt company. Both the gentlemen
aboye-named are practical teachers OF large
experience and have tested the opinions
which they publicly announce.
The system Of rcwarding pupils for good
behavior and for proficiency, was also dis
cussed at this meeting. and Mr.. Emerson
said very plainly that the distribution Of
medals makes the pupils heathens > by
which We suppose he meant it promotes
jealousies, heart-burnings, envy, pride
passions essentially unchristian, although
Mr. Emerson S designation may be unjust
to enlightened and conscientious heathcns
In Boston no more medals are to bc given
in the girls schools for Tie boys schools
there are, We believe, certain endowments
for annual medals, and it may require a
decree in Chancery to divert the direction
of these funds into some other profitable
course. But the saction in regard to the
girls schools settles the principle and az
entire reform may be confidently antici
pated.
Medals and other rewards might be
more pro6tably distributed if there were
any way OF determining with judicial ac-
curacy the precise degree ofmerit to which
each pupil is entitloa; but so long as both
in degree and kind, intellectual capacities
differ, and so long as the antecodents OF
pupils must be various it viii be mpossi-
bic eouitably to determine whether the
scholar who has excellcd or the scholar
who has failed is entitled to the medallic
distinction If the pupils could be fairly
started together, still it would be lmpossl>
bic. There is no fixed winning>post in
the school itself-the real goal is at the
end of a lifetime, and the real race comes
off, as they say, upon the course, IN the
fullness of manhood, and under very diff
ferent conditions from those which govern
the competitions of the school house. Nine
great men out Of ten have been agreeable
disappointments to their relatives aud
friends. The ultimate brilliant success of
ounces has always been geographic phe-
nomenon. Genius is wayward and altho'
we may be sure that it will always study
we may be equally sure that it will study
| in its own way.
