" The town dweller is rapidly becoming the most helpless of living creatures. . . . Our public education makes a mon- strous regiment of clerks in order that it may not miss one millionaire company promoter or one professor of Greek.. . The permanent revival of rural industries is dependent on the teaching of craftsmanship in the schools." These are weighty words from Sir Daniel Hall in Rural Industries, a quar- terly published by the Rural Industries Bureau, 258 West- minster Bridge Road, S.E. 1. The object of the journal is to interest people in country crafts, and it has our best wishes.
We join with Punch and the Morning Post in endorsing Admiral Beatty's Appeal to save the Implacable.' Originally a French ship, she fought the ' Victory' at Trafalgar, was later captured by Sir Richard Strahan, and performed long and glorious service. Some £18,000 had been sub- scribed by the end of last year. Only another £6,000 are required to save this 74-gun two-decker, the oldest ship afloat, in order that she may be used as a training ship for boys at Falmouth, thereby keeping alive " that sea-sense which is the nation's greatest heritage." Subscriptions should besent to Sir Vincent Baddeley, Midland Bank, Westminster, S.W. 1, The Royal Air Force Cadet Magazine (8s. a -year. from Officers' Mess, Cranwell, Lines.) is a bright, well-produeed quarterly. If our young airmen fight as well as they write-,- and who doubts it ?—our air future is safe. That fresh air and adventure makes for goed virile writing this magazine is proof. It has a wider seope than the majority of such journals and should be read by those interested in air problems.
