Following the sensational success of her first book, Coming of Age in Samoa, Margaret Mead continued her brilliant work in Growing Up in New Guinea, detailing her study of the Manus, a New Guinea people still untouched by the outside world when she visited them in 1928.

She developed fascinating insights into their family lives,...

THE strong earthquake that occurred shortly after 8.30 A.M. on December 31 in south-east Africa possesses some interest as it visited a region in which destructive shocks are almost or quite unknown. Its epicentre seems to have been in Zululand, for damage to buildings was caused at Eshowe and other places. The shock was felt all over Zululand and Natal, in various parts of the Transvaal and the Free State, and from Lorenzo Marquez on the north to the Transkei on the south. Its disturbed...

IN the last few weeks, reports of the occurrence of volcanic craters in the Libyan desert have appeared in the daily Press. It seems wise, therefore, to define the discoveries more precisely as soon as possible, although detailed study of the material collected must be postponed for several weeks.

centric character of Judaism had given rise over two thousand years to an ideal of universal education-for the boys at least-and to an ideal of lifelong devotion to learning. In the passing of the centuries this ideal was, if possible, intensified as tomes of lore, Talmud and Commentaries, were piled in an inverted pyramid on the original foundation of the Written Torah. Even in ancient days, study of the Law was accounted by some rabbis a form of religious devotion more spiritual than...

The teaching of agriculture in West Africa is difficult compared with other more literary subjects, first, because it is impossible to rely so much on a text-book, and, secondly, because the outdoor practical work is so difficult to arrange, if the students' continued interest and enthusiasm are to be kept. The main reasons why agriculture and gardening as taught in schools are not more effective can be understood by a closer study of the motives of the methods adopted.

Some apology is due for an article on this subject from the pen of one who has no claim to write with any authority.
