We welcome another annual issue (the tenth) of The School

World : a Monthly Magazine of Educational Work and Progress (Macmillan and Co., 7s. 6d. net). The "school world" dealt with is the secondary school world. We wonder whether all readers of the Spectator realise that they pay in taxes, and very often in rates, quite substantial sums for this class of school, and that it would be well to take an interest in the welfare of the whole class, and not merely of this or that school with which they may happen to be connected. Such a periodical as this suggests an excellent way of showing this interest.
