Some National and Board School Reforms. By Lord Brabazon. (Longmans.)—The

Earl of Meath, better known by the title which he bears on the title-page, has collected a number of papers con- tributed by himself and others at various times to periodicals and newspapers, speeches made, addresses delivered, &c. They are divided under two heads,—" Physical and Industrial Training," and "Technical and Industrial Training." Among the names of contributors, we may mention Mr. S. Smith, M.P., Mr. E. Chad- wick, Sir Philip Magnus, and Professor Huxley. Miss Headon writes of "Industrial Training for Girls," and Miss F. L. Calder of "Cookery in Elementary Schools." This is altogether a volume full of interesting matter.
