SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.

Chanties in Greek and Latin. By W. H. D. Rouse. (Oxford Blackwell. 2s. 6d. net.)

Among Mr. Rouse's experiments at the Perse School, Cam- bridge, has been the teaching of Latin and Greek by means of nursery rhymes translated, often very amusingly, and set to traditional tunes. His materials are published in this little book. This method of painless injection has been tried suc- cessfully with French. For musicians, we will add that there are few misfits of words and tunes.
