The Journal of Education. (William Rice. 7s. 6d.) — We gladly extend

our customary welcome to the annual volume of this excellent periodical,—the forty-second, we observe. It has won a very high place—it would not be too much to say the highest place—in the literature of its class by the completeness of its information and the sagacity of its comments on educational questions. We do not always accept its conclusions, and have, indeed, criticised them on occasion, but we recognise that the Journal is a force commonly exercised in a right direction. One feature is the prize competition. This brings out a really astonishing amount of good work.
