It may be directed particularly to either the mental, moral, or physical powers and faculties, but in its broadest and best sense it refers to them all. Mt. Hermon Boys' School v. Gill, 145 Mass. 146, 13 N. E. 354. Legal Education. This subject has been for many years receiving earnest and extended attention in England and the United States. It has been elaborately treated at various times by committees of the American Bar Association, in which a report was made in 1879 by Carleton Hunt, chairman, and subsequent reports in 1881, 1890, 1891, and 1892. See the annual reports of those years. In 1893 the association formed a section of legal education, which has held yearly conferences for the reading of papers and discussion on the subject, which has been ably and elaborately treated. Its work in 1894 was published by the United States in the reports of the Commissioner of Education. In 1901, an Association of Am'erican Law Schools was organized in connection with that Association, which has also held annual meetings. The subject has also been much discussed by various State Bar Associations, as will appear by reference to their published reports. An interesting address by Lord Russell, Lord Chief Justice of England, was delivered before the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, October, 1895. See also a paper by Austen G. Fox on the work of the New York State Board of Examiners (Am. Bar Ass'n Report, 1896, p. 543, and 10 Harv. L. Rev. 199).
