cal Journal, should be read and remembered by all
schoolmasters.


LIE-IG WHEN A BoY.-Lebig was distinguished at
school 'booby," the only talent then cultivated in
German schools being verbal memory. On occa-
sion, being sneerngly asked by the master what he
proposed to become, since he so bad a scholar,
and answering that he would be chemist, the whole
school burst into laugh Of derision. Not long ago
Liebig saw his old schoomaSter, who feelingly Ia
mented his own former blindness. The only boy in
the school who ever disputed with Lebig the station
of "booby," one who could learn his lesson
by heart, but continually composing music, and
writing it down by STEALTH in school, The same in
dvidual Liebig lately found at Vienna, distinguished
as composer and conductor of the Imperial Opera
house. | think his is Reuling. 1t is to be
hoped that rational system of school nstruc-
ton is gaining ground. Can any thing be more alb
surd or detestable than system which made Walter
Scott and Justus Lebig boobies'' at school, and so
eectualy concealed their natural talents that, fer

school on his being to misery and broken
hearts to his parents, while he all the time con-
sciOus, the above anecdote proves of the possess
sion of talents similar in kind to those he has since
displayed
