THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
" For the avoidance of Revolution " Major Hammond Foot advocates the rapid extension of small holdings while Mr. H. W. Household commends, as " The Right Education for the Worker's Child," the method devised by Miss Mason, of Ambleside, and adopted in many Gloucestershire schools —the method of narration which seems to yield surprising results.. Sir Lenthal Cheatle writes with some heat under the title " Ministers of Health—Defend Us 1" He thinks that the Minister of Health ought to be a medical man just as the Lord Chancellor is always a lawyer ; but the analogy is misleading. Mr. Stephen Graham describes " The New America with special reference to the growth of American influence in the Spanish American Republics. Captain Scott- James, in an interesting paper, contends that Erskine Childers died for an idea, as metaphysical as the old ecclesiastical dispute over " Homo-ousion ' and " Homoi-ousion " which severed East and West. Sir Herbert Warren contributes a charming study of " Keats as a Classical Scholar." Lord Sydenham joins himself to the strange sect which holds that Shakespeare could not have written the plays passing under his name. The veteran actor, Mr. J. H. Barnes, recalls pleasantly the " Irving Days at the Lyceum," where he joined Irving on the first night of The Bells, November 25th, 1871.
