The Ebbing Tide. By Viscount Haldane. (Mills and Boon. 6d.)—
Under a somewhat misleading title, Lord Haldane has reprinted the speech which he made in the House of Lords on July 19th last, on the importance of more thorough educational training for the future genera- tion. He described our system, emphasized its glaring deficiencies, and insisted on the necessity of beginning at once to develop the secondary and continuation schools, and to encourage physical training in the schools. " It is all vital to us. The old order is passing away, and we are face to face with a new order. Our old methods will not avail us any longer." Quoting Brutus's words, " There is a tide in the affairs of men," ho concludes with the hope that " the nation, with a great emergency looming in front of it, does not lose the tido."
