Proceedings of the Classical Association. (John Murray. 2s. 6d. net.)—We
are glad to see that the Association prospers, though the number of members—twelve hundred or so—does not indicate as much zeal as one might expect. Some may be holding back from ignorance of what the Association is doing. Such persons should read this volume. They will see that the Association is now the proprietor of the Classical Review and the Classical Quarterly, two altogether worthy representatives of the classical cause, and that it takes an active interest in various questions of great importance, school curricula, examinations, and the like, besides such matters as are represented by the " Report on Grammatical Terminology." Here is an extract from the" Report of the Curricula. Committee "No candidate should pass who does not show thorough familiarity with all such grammatical forms and types of sentence as occur
frequently in the authors read during the course Where translation is made into English the English should be correct and 'natural : and the memorised translation of specially prepared books should be discouraged in every way." This refers to matriculation and school-leaving examinations. If it should be carried out in its entirety, the matriculation lists would, we imagine, be not a little depleted.
