A Coarse of Lectures on the Growth and Means of

Training the Mental Faculty. By Francis Warner, M.D. (Cambridge University Pross.)—Dr. Warner examines various educational problems from the medical point, of view. He proceeds on the true scientific) principle of observation. The physical formation of children—the configuration of the head, for instance—involuntary acts, such as nervous movements in general, are spoken of, and their signifi- cance pointed out. A teacher who aims, as all teachers should aim, to develop the whole child, and to suit his methods, as far as may be, to individual cases, may study this book with much profit.
