Notes of Lessons on Thrift. By G. C. Pringle. (Edinburgh

: Teachers' War Service Committee. 3d. net.)—The Scottish educational bodies, whose Committee has had this pamphlet compiled, are doing good work. There are here some forty pages of notes on which to base lessons. They are not all suitable for all scholars, but leave something to the teacher's discretion, according to the ages or educational standards of the classes. They are full of practical suggestions on thrift in general and why it is especially necessary in war time, and upon particular subjects such as food, clothes, housekeeping, saving, &c. We hope that English teachers will use them, or improve upon them.
