[Under this heading we notice such Books qf th. week as has. not he* reserved for review in other Anna.] Educational Aims and Efforts. By Sir Philip Magmas, M.P. (Longmans and Co. 7s. 6d. net.)—Sir Philip Magnus has been busy in promoting education for many years past,-1880-1910 is the period which he names on his title-page. Here he has collected a number of articles which he has written and addresses which he has delivered on various occasions, adding an "Introduc- tory," in which he deals -with various questions now prominent, notably the constitution and action of the University of London. We are very glad to have these documents ; they are full of suggestion, and should help in many ways. We must own that we are not quite satisfied with what we read about literary education. "In the near future no head-master will be appointed who is not familiar with workshop methods." That will rule out, we take it, a good many men who might be inspiring teachers.
