Dominie Abroad. By A. S. Neill. (Herbert Jenkins. 53. net.)

It is unfortunate that Mr. Neill has so mixed fact and facetiousness. The longer and more valuable part of this book deals with the international school at Hellerau, where he has been attempting to apply the new educational theories that psycho-analysts have taught us • but he wastes much time on travellers' jokes and other exhibitions of factitious high spirits. It is to be hoped that Mr. Neill will give us as he well could, an account of his experiments that can be taken seriously.
