THE YEAR BOOK OF EDUCATION In the eighth year of
its existence the Year Book of Educa- tion (Evans, 35s.) maintains its former high standards. It surveys the finance, the philosophy, and the organisation of modern education and has valuable chapters on current edu- cational problems, Imperial and colonial problems, technical education and research. In addition there is a mass of useful statistical information on education in the British Common- wealth, the United States and Europe. In his introduction the general editor repeats that the Year Book "is not a collec- tion of academic essays of purely professional interests, but contains discussions of problems of vital interest to all who wish to be acquainted with movements which are destined to change the face of human society as we know it today. Among these none has proved more important than the clash of ideologies, and the section of philosophies of education contains three chapters which throw valuable light on con- temporary controversies. Lord Stamp writes on Education and the Survival of Democracy, Dr. Phil. Gerhard Grafe, Director of the German Academic Exchange Service., Berlin, writes on The Conditions and Content of the New Order of German Education, and Dr. T. C,orco:an on Education in Eire.
