MORE ON SCHOOLCHILD REWARD OF MERIT MEDALSTom Casper of Muskego, Wisconsin writes: I was glad to learn of the book, Rewards of Merit, mentioned in The E-Sylum last week. I first learned about these Reward of Merit items from the book, College Currency, 1993, by Herb and Martha Schingoethe, pages 28-30. Since that time I have formed a small collection of both the certificates and medals. The medals are much less common than the certificates. I have only three medals in my collection. Here are scans and descriptions of the three.   Search the Scripture//Award of Merit Star-shaped, copper, 23mm x 26mm   Remember Thy Creator In The Days Of Thy Youth, (in small letters at bottom) J. S. Smith F.//Reward of Merit Round, white metal, 34mm   For Writing, (on scroll) Allen & Moore, BIRMm//Reward of Merit, (at bottom) Allman, London Round, white metal, 44mm Thanks! Nice medals. Are there any with a dunce cap? -Editor
