Female pupil-teachers, before admission, must produce a certificate from the schoolmistress and managers that they possess reasonable competency as sempstresses; and, at the annual examinations, must bring certified specimens of plain needlework to the inspector, together with a statement from the schoolmistress specifying whether they have been receiving practical instruction in any other kind of domestic industry. The inspector, at the time of examination, or afterwards, will obtain the opinion of some competent person upon the merit of the needlework. A paper of questions on domestic economy is given to the female candidates for admission to Training Schools at the Christmas examination (Article 91).

THE SHORTER GLOBE READERS. A New Series of Reading Books for Standards I. to VI. Edited by A. F. MURISON, sometime English Master in the Aberdeen Grammar School. "The reading-books are undergoing a change to accommodate them to the demands of the circular of the Lords of the Committee of Council addressed to the inspectors. The Globe Readers,' from the house of Macmillan and Co., were well known in the schools before the days of the circular, and they are to be known for the future as the Shorter Globe Readers.' So far as the first and second primers are concerned, and the reader for Standard I., no alteration is necessary; the modification, therefore, is made only in the books for Standards from II. to VI. The volumes contain the new regulation number of lessons, and they are revised with a view to the fact that three different sets of reading books must be used. The adaptation affords an opening for some other changes. There is a less mechanical tone in those earlier lessons in which the child's mind is to be trained in orthographical construction; or, as the author puts it the formal word-exercises are now released, and the lessons flow with the ease of a less restricted vocabulary,' but the graduation of difficulty, though now it becomes not quite so obvious, has none the less been carefully considered." The lessons flow on easily enough, and there is a good deal of variety and interest-and especially of fancy and poetic suggestion-in them. At the same time, they are a specially educative order of reading books. They are a bright set of readers, full of culture, pure tendency, and fine feeling"-School Board Chronicle.
