The +pecial purpose of thie litile beok is to aid the teaching of cooking in the Public enhoole. Dr. Lanbeiter saye, “There are scientific principles lying at the foundation of the art of cookery as of every other human art; and if you neglect to apply them—it you neglect to educate your cooks in them—you must expect tosuffer.” This ie a volume of 110 pases, 85 of which consist of reeipes.

lil, Physical Drill for Public Schools in feur parts with illustrations, 4y Ser« geant-Major D. Bailey, mflitery gymnast ¢ Instructor, price 85 cente, Halifax: T. C. Allen & Co. This is a work of 127 pages, divided into four parts, viz., let Football, 2nd Arena Drill, 3rd, Caleis- thenics, 4th Physical Exercises with wands and dumb bells. It is avery use. ful hand-book for teachers, for surely every veacher should bave the physical as oClwell «6as)=6the)=«omental ~=—s re lfare of his pupils at hearte The exercises are caleulated to develop the varieus parts of the body in due propors tion, and are adapted to schools not having balls for gymnastics. The prefacectf this litle work was written by Mr A. McKay, Supervisor of the Halifax schools. [n it he says :*Almost every great writer on edu- cation hae given muci prominence to the importance of physical eulture, both asa thing desirable in iteelf, and asa means leading to an end—that end being greater possibilities in intellictual and moral de- velopment. Judging by estimates of ex~ aminers, even our youngest teachers can discourse eloquently on both headings of thetext—‘*‘A sound mind in a sound body,” yet in practice the second heading is very generally ignored, eveo by those who ere considered our ablest teachers, Proper care for the bodies of their pupils is most shamefully negelected by most instructors. The harmonious development of the physieal powers is seldom thought of. Too Often the presentor future healthof the child is sacrificed for the sake of a display of mental ability, that may, forthe time being, increase the reputation of the teacher or gratify the vanity of the sbort- sighted parent. Although buta part of the responsibility for the “sound body” reste with the teacher, yet so much of the future happiness and success of the pupil’s life depends on that part, thathe who even thoughtlesely neglects it cannot be held guiltlese.

“School calisthenicscannot take the place of or be considered as importact ae those absorbing out-of-deor games so in harmony with child nature in the delop-~ ment which they secure, yet calisthenics is an important auxiliary to such agencies as ventilation, light, frequent and judici- ous changes of study and position, etc., in preserving the highest educational vigor in the classroom. All the voluatarily muscles areso conneeted with the brain thet its health and growth are very mueb increased by their systematic exercise.”
