The House of Education is closed from August 1st to September 15th. Letters relating to the House of Education, Parents' Review School, Mothers' Educational Court, Governesses, etc., cannot be received or answered between these dates.

Parents' Review--We have from time to time been requested to reprint occasionally some of the very valuable papers which are buried in the early numbers of the Parents' Review. We propose to do so now and then, and such articles will be marked by a dagger after the title.

BOARD OF EXAMINATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL HANDWORK.

Examiner's Report on Cardboard Modelling. Examination held at the House of Education, Ambleside, on April 20th, 1902.

A great want of judgment; is shown in the answer to question 2, otherwise the theory is well done. The Manual Work is, as usual, excellent.
Miss Hodgson, who has taught this subject with signal success for the last eight years, has recently removed to Betley; but there is every promise that her successor will not allow any falling off in the zeal which has always marked the teaching of the arts and crafts at this college.
