SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Notice in this column does not necessarily preclude subsequent review."

The third number of Lord Charnwood's excellent quarterly, Recalled to Life (John Bale, Sons, and Danielsson, 2s. net), which is devoted to the cause of the disabled soldiers and sailors, contains an article on "The Present. Position of the Question of Training," by Major Mitchell and the editor, who show that good results have been achieved already, but that if disabled men are to be restored permanently to civil life they must be thoroughly trained for trades or callings which offer suitable prospects. Mr. Warwick Draper describes his scheme for "Village Centres for Cure and Training,' and there are several practical articles on the great problem of how to induce damaged muscles to perform their functions once more.
