Mr. Neville Ross was much struck by the ease and correctness with which boys and girls of fourteen in a Bürgerschule in North Germany read English. He comments upon the fact that in times past our own language was considered sufficient for business matters, as other nations learnt it in order to do business with us. But we no longer have the undisputed command of the markets, and the foreigner who has learnt the value of a command of languages is now pushing his trade over half the world, whilst we are only half-hearted in our efforts to do the same. From this premiss he argues upon the value of International Correspondence. It is unnecessary to give here his arguments in its favour. With regard to possible objections, this experienced teacher remarks:

:

Some teachers fear the introduction of harmful and vicious ideas; but even if one admits-which I utterly refuse to do that the mere fact of being foreign is synonymous with being vicious, surely any boy of any nationality would be incapable of writing anything harmful to a mere correspondent." Mr. Ross then speaks of the greater danger of illustrated papers, and disposes of that by the fact that all communications are sent to the school address, gives his own plans for prevention, and also for the sustenance of the scholar's interest in the exchange of letters.

"PRACTICAL TEACHER."

Some of our readers know that when M. Mieille first suggested that we should organise a plan for scholars, he at the same time secured the interest of the editor of the Practical Teacher in a scheme of exchange of letters between teachers. Consequently M. Mieille's interesting papers appear always in this journal, and in October and November deal with the International Congresses of Education in Paris. He gives a summary of the programme, comments upon the significance of such gatherings and the spirit of enthusiasm, inquiry, courtesy -in a word teachableness-of the members, and points out the special virtues of the different systems: the selfgovernment of British secondary schools; thoroughness of German; and splendid State organisation and inspection of the French system. The collaboration of men and women teachers, as in Scotland, America, and Sweden, provoked a most lively and interesting discussion. Those interested in education who do not read French will appreciate M. Mieille's articles.

(6 REVUE UNIVERSITAIRE.”

M. Max Leclerc, the head of the great publishing house, Armand Colin, Rue de Mézières, Paris, having instigated and in every way encouraged the Congress on Secondary Education which met in August at the Sorbonne, the report given in the journal published by him is naturally of exceeding interest, and this interest is increased by the delightful way in which M. Berenger treats his subject. I refer my readers to the October number, quoting only the vote after the discussion of International

Correspondence and M. Berenger's concluding words:"This assembly leaves behind the noble comforting experience that during its sitting, Socialism and Conservatism have debated peacefully, liberty of thought and Catholicism have rubbed elbows. America, Asia, and Europe have exchanged experiences, and men and women have co-operated on the same footing towards the better building up of the child. The first faint outline maybe of a more beautiful future." The unanimous vote was thus recorded:-"This Congress, considering that the scheme of the Scholars' International Correspondence. undertaken by private persons and carried out under conditions proved suitable by the experience of three years, constituting a precious auxiliary not only to the acquirement of modern languages, but also to the general culture of the mind and international relations, expresses the hope that all scholastic authorities will encourage by every means the development of the plan."

REPORT OF THE GERMAN BUREAU.

Just as German education is more thorough, consecutive, and penetrating than ours, so their conception of the correspondence is more grave than with us. Hence a series of rules which I must some day give in their entirety just mentioning here that one rule is "To prevent misunderstanding the sending of comic postcards and literature of all sorts is prohibited to the scholar. unless he has first shown the same to his teacher or parents and received their permission." Is not this rule a good one for us to follow? One of the pages contains a letter from a German schoolmaster, in which he says: The greatest gain of the International Correspondence is this that between two nations, which have for so long counted themselves enemies, a new bond of friendship is One can well understand that the being formed. exchange of friendly letters concerns not only the individuals themselves, but creates a gradually widening circle of influence. As an example I quote from a letter from France received by one of my boys:J'attendais avec impatience une lettre d'Allemagne. C'est hier soir que j'ai reçu votre lettre. On ma remise au réfectoire pendant la souper. En voyant qu'elle venait d'Allemagne mes camarades se sont tous écriés Oh! qu'il a de la chance! il a un correspondant allemand.'" The master comments upon this great gain, and says truly, "Who, a few years ago, would have predicted such a letter from a French boy to a German lad?

GOOD NEWS FOR COMPETING CANDIDATES. Alas! I have little space left; yet in my hand is a precious pamphlet to be obtained at Nutt's, in the Strand, and published by Delalain, of Paris, called "Simplification of French Syntax." Surely every scholar in France, and many in other countries, will record a vote of thanks to M. Leygues, the French Minister of Public Instruction. who proclaims such good news for scholars. For example, who that has ever had before him an examination paper containing such words as cauliflowers, capitals, passports, and vainly sought to remember where and how to put the plural, will not welcome the rule that such words in the future may be taken as one; with the plural sign at the end of the word only, or that instead of four different rules which must decide whether the four letters of the little word "gens" make a masculine or a feminine noun, we may now comfortably conclude it to be always feminine.

The Work of the War Artists in South Africa. Illustrated. A. C. R. Carter.

"The four extra plates contained in this number have been chosen to prove the high standard reached in the illustration of the war by representative black and white artists. Mr. Caton Woodville's record of work is an astonishing display of industry and gifted facility, and the fine subject, Their Ordeal of Fire,' is in every way worthy of his powers.

In Mr. Frank Craig's Holy Communion on the Veldt,' the young artist has sought inspiration from the most solemn ceremony known to

men.

A return is made to the grim actuality of war in Mr. John Charlton's 'Cavalry crossing a Drift.' This well-known painter of the horse has a subject here into which he has put much of his experienced study, and in every case the trooper's mount is drawn to the life.

Our frontispiece, Colonel Plumer's Attempt to Relieve Mafeking,' is drawn by Mr. Frank Dadd. The drawing is alive with movement, and the figures of the troopers of the Rhodesian Horse, whether scorning or using cover, are powerfully realised."

The Artistic Position of Du Maurier. Illustrated. L. Lusk.

"Other men have drawn beautiful and distinguished women, but the idealisation of a gentlewoman was a feat accomplished by Du Maurier as no one else has accomplished it. Therefore, if for that alone, the study of his whole work may be justly called a polite education for one whose opportunities are few, and the dignity of this quality is reflected upon many of his other types. It is true that when he set himself to present a woman who was not a lady he succeeds partially. It was easier for Keene to draw a lady than for Du Maurier to draw one who was not, though difficult for both. The Grande Dame is, in fact, so rare that she belongs rather to Romance than to Reality, and that is why Du Maurier renders her so completely. In this he is consistent with his finest instincts, and surely it is no mean niche to have made for himself in the Temple of Fame, that he should be among the greatest of those who have rendered the gentlewoman in Art."

Frontispiece "Miss Charlotte Peirse," after Romney.

Mr. William Roberts writes:-" Romney may, in fact, be still said to lead in the matter of price. The beautiful portrait of Charlotte Peirse (born in 1780, married in 1797 to Inigo Freeman Thomas, of Ratton, Sussex, and died at Lisbon in 1800), painted when a young girl in white muslin dress, blue sash, and large hat, the strings of which she holds in her hands. walking in a landscape (canvas 63 in. by 47 in., is one of the most charming pictures which even Romney ever painted; and 7000 guineas, at which Mr. Martin Colnaghi acquired it, is by no means a high amount as Romneys go nowadays."
