Oar Boys and Girls at School. By Henry J. Barker.

(J. W. Arrowsmith.)----This is another of Mr. Barker's most entertaining volumes. That he is exceptionally fortunate in getting hold of• good things is beyond doubt. Does he make it his business to go- about collecting them ? How does he get a sight of the papers ? He is not an inspector, but describes himself as " late lecturer to pupil-teachers." However obtained, these are very amusing anecdotes.
