A HEW JOURNAL ITS AIMS OUTLINED. ' (British Official Wireless.) Press Association— By T°!egrsph—Copyright. RUGBY, October 24. (Received October 25, at 11 a.m.) The first number appeared to-day of a magazine called Oversea Education,’ which will bo published by the Oxford University Press for the Colonial Office. Its general aim is tiio encouragement ot cclucationl research and experiment, m tropical and subtropical areas. Information on and criticism of what is being considered and attempted will thereby be placed at the disposal of the education authorities and those interested in education in those areas. It is hoped this will stimulate inquiry and at the_ same time prevent time and money being wasted on the investigation of schemes that havo been tried and found wanting or regarding which full information is already available. It is hoped that the magazine will be found useful in certain of the dominions. India, and the United States, in fact, in all parts of the world which are interested in the problem of tropical education, and that information from those countries will be contributed to the journal, which will thus become a clearing house ol ideas and information.
