Intermediate Education and Rural Exodus. By C. C. Rogers. (A.
L. Humphreys. 6d.)—Mr. Rogers, who is chairman of the Radnor County Council, puts forth in this pamphlet what may be described as a spirited plea for the retaining, strengthening, and making more generally accessible the" educational ladder." It is not education, he argues, that is emptying the villages. It is even conceivable-that something may be done in this direction towards filling them. We cannot do better than quote his concluding sentences :—" There is no intention here of indulging in in- genious dreams, or expressing glorified illusions of the effect of Intermediate Education; only the desire to suggest some future possibilities as yet generally unpursued. Intermediate Educa- tion is to furnish wings for higher spheres, and some will fly one way, some another. May the direction be rural as well as urban."
