I Dr Jordan, of Iceland Stanford Uiii. veraity (Califqruia), who i» now lectnrinc inNow South Wales, and who will visit -Now Zealand, is recognised throughout America as a great champion of what is. calledi the elective system of study, the giving of plenty of choice of subject to the students without insisting:. on. any subjects being actually compulsory, except in the case of as mnny different Subjects as must ' necessarily be grouped together ' with a view to constituting a curriculum 1 for a professional degrefi. Dr Jordan declares: ''We have learned that_ all prescribed work ia bad work unless it is prescribed by the rature of the subject. . . .

These are familiar incidents in the annals of the Italian tourist, but they are as rife as, if not rifer than, before, sinco the State has assumed the management of the lines." -" The Times."

Mr John Redmond, leader of the Irish Parliamentary party, was once a clerk in the Note OfficasgiLthe House of Commons. He is an. excellent platform speaker^ and one of his greatest triumphs as a lecturer was a tour he made in Australia; the result of which was that his party benefltted to the tune of £10,000.
