THE strength of this book lies in the rich variety of its author's experience. As a boy he was in four schools, and as a master in twenty-five, including public, grammar, co-educational,


private, proprietary and technical schools. Not that by nature he was a ‘rolling stone’, but that by necessity he was transferred from place to place during the War. He deals only with


secondary schools, and he touches many topics, including the ‘unpopularity’ of school masters, the tradition of the headmaster, salaries, co-education, discipline and so on; and whether one


agrees with him or not, his criticism is always practical and to the point, and it is often constructive.


By H. S. Shelton. Pp. 256. (London: Hutchinson and Co. (Publishers), Ltd., n.d.) 6s. net.
