The book is divided into two sections. the first containing the Verse and drawings of the children under four- teen years of age. and the second, the work of those from fourteen to twenty. A sad event in connection with this book was, two weeks after its appear- ance, the death of Miss Agnes Dela- moure or “Nancy Durham", editor of the "Circle". How happy we are, how- ever. that she first had the great plea- sure of seeing the work of her young people in book form! We who loved "Nancy Durham" are thankful that she was granted this happiness. And as a legacy, she has left us her "Foreword" to the book. in her introduction: “One or the out- standing features ot the new educa- tion movement is the stress laid on the creative impulse of the child.” the success of a first venture in a new field is never assured.

There- fore its educational value cannot be es- timated. Farmers should study the best me- thods of clean-up. The main difficul- ty in conforming to the requirements of the regulations under the Act is the amount of hand-picking on fields that is often needed. Every farmer should, therefore, strive to lessen this as much as possible by cutting the 'corn low. and crushing the stubble well, or by discing it twice or by using any other It is not planned to bring any new counties under the Act this year, but in all counties where only the southern portion was included last year there will be an extension to either the whole of the county or to all but the northern part. Extensions are made only when the degree or Infestation seems to justify them. In the few counties in which the borer continued to increase this year in spite of the clean-up measures, a good deal of . early sweet corn was grown, and the increase seems in some way to have been associated with this fact. We are, however, hopeful that with a little extra care and study, we shall soon be able to maize a reduction in these counties. It should be re- membered. too, that the increase in these counties was not nearly so great as it would have been if there had been no Act there. ince, Essex, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex Elgin and Welland, the average per- centage of corn plants infested by borers was 43 per cent, a reduction of a little more than 33 per cent. The reduction in Essex and Kent the last two years has been very conspicuous as can be seen from the fact that in 1926 the corn on more than a thou- sand square miles in these counties was either totally or almost totally ruined, while this year there were not two dozen fields in them ruined.

This year, although full data for some of the counties has not yet been obtained, we have sufficient to show that while in a few counties the borer has continued to increase, yet in the great majority, including all the heav- iest infested, there has been a gratify- ing reduction.

It deals with the discussions in the cabinet which preceded the determination of the British government to stand by Belgium. In that record nobody emerges with much credit except Morley himself and Burns for at least they stood fast to the principles of a lifetime and gave up office and emolu- ment rather than sanction war. Sev- eral others were about to leave but at Ithe last moment they changed their iminds and remained. Lord Morley writes without any bitterness but his scorn for some of his colleagues, and particularly for Lloyd George, cannot Fbe concealed. Lloyd George was a ‘more vociferous apostle of pacifism ; than even Morley, but he probably per- ceived not less clearly than the wrongs of Belgium, that if he left the govern- ment on this issue his political career would be closed, at least for some years to come, although the example of Campbell Bannerman and his own fortunes after the Boer war might have reassured him. Lloyd George’s uppermost thought when he knew Morley would leave was that the ac- tion would leave those who remained in rather a big hole. But he chose this . excavation rather than the political grave he saw yawning for him. Not Belgium But France We suppose that nine out of ten was no need. His record was well known, and if in the fever of war en- thusiasm he was regarded with con- tempt at least he escaped the odium of being a pro-German which was at- tached to his colleague, Lord Haldane. He neather helped nor hindered the war and when it was over he was too magnanimous or too scornrul to point out that some of the things the war was supposed to yield were not pro- duced, and that in a decade there would be a great change in the atti- tude of the average Englishman to- ward it. as “mr. morley” would probably have spelt the British Empire without a capital till the end of his days. He was a little Englander, a pacifist and proud of it. Therefore his position in the Asquith cabinet in the days preoeeding the war was an extremely diflicult one. In the end it became impossible and he and John Burns resigned rather than sanction a declaration of war against Germany. He withdrew into a digni- fied retirement and said no word then or later to justify his course.

Grey’s Threat One of the most interesting passages ,in the document concerns the entente says Morley. “An entente is vague, rests on points of honor to be constru- ed by accident and convenience. The . Prime Minister and Grey had both of them assured the House of Commons that we had no engagements unknown to the country. Yet here we were con- gium that caused the British Govern- ment to enter the war. Conver'sations had been held between Cambon and Grey in 1912, in which it was agreed that Britain should be left perfectly free to decide whether she would assist France by armed force. Morley con- tended that no immediate aggressive action was entailed unless there was action against France in the Channel or the North Sea. When Germany promised to abstain from attacking the north coast of France if Britain re- mained neutral, Grey said the en- for Great Britain in entering the war was to preserve the neutrality of Belgium Ninety-nine out of a hundred recruits in the early months felt that they were going to the assistance of a plucky na- tion that had been knocked down and trampled . on by a large and brutal na- tion.

He felt that “with a fleet of overwhelm- ‘ing power, a disinterestedness beyond suspicion, a Foreign Minister of proved ability, truthfulness and self-control, when the 'Smoke of battlefields had cleared from the European sky, Eng- land might have exhorted an influence not to be acquired by a hundred of her little Expeditionary Forces”_ John Burns hesitated long about resiging because he was a stiff party man and weighed the gravity of the action. but Grey threatened to resign ii neutrality was decided on, and Asquith said he would not lose Grey.
