Worms or RErEarNmir-Crockford's Clerical Directory for 1917. 18 (The Field
and Queen, NM.), though it appears later than usual in the year, is as admirable as ever in its fulness and accuracy. The editor in his Preface deals at some length with the question of the " degrees " of the Potomac University, which aro, it seems, obtained by correspondence methods, and which Creel-fort will not now recognise. In regard to the war, he states that 2,220 Church
clergymen have boon enrolled as Army chaplains, that 1,815 are now serving, and 27 hero died or been killed.. In the Navy there are 110 permanent and 45 officiating ministers, and 17 have been killed. The total number of clergy recorded in Crockford Would Boom to be well over 30,000.—The India Office List for 1917 (Harrison, 12s. Od. not) is a most useful record, within its restricted sphere of administration and finance. There is, of course, no refer- ence to current polities.—The Girls' School Year Book (Public Schools) for 1917 (Year Book Press, Os. not) is the official reference book of the Association of Head-Mistresses, and may ho com- manded to the notice of parents. Tho London schools aro arranged under their districts.
