School Hygiene. By Arthur Newsholme, M.D. (Swan Bannon- schein, Lowrey,

and Co.)—This is an exceedingly useful little book, dealing with all the elements of school-life, from the form of deske and the number of cubic feet of air to be allowed in schoolrooms, to the number of hours of exercise and of teaching, from the point of view of the medical officer. The author places too much reliance on Sir Crichton Browne's parody of statistics ; bat he tempers the use of them with discretion and sound common-sense.
