Education and industriai Success. By W. P. Groser. (Hazell, Watson,
and Viney. 6d.)—The origin of this Report is thus described:—" Last year Mr. Alfred Mosely invited the Parliamen- tary Industry Committee to nominate a representative on his Educational Commission to the United States, and the Committee requested Mr. Groser to undertake the work." And admirably done the work is. A more vigorous, better written, more pointed and lucid statement we have never seen. The style is all that could be desired; Mr. Groser now and then indulges in an epi- gram, and the epigram is always good. "In America you cannot waste four years more efficiently than by not going to a Univer- sity." "Idling is not only despised, but dull, since there is no one of interest with whom to do nothing." It must not be sup- posed that anything is sacrificed to smartness. There is sound
sense everywhere, and much to be learnt, if only those who ought to learn would see their need. We cannot attempt any account of details. It must be enough to say with all emphasis,—Read it.
