COMMISSIONER LAMB is the migration officer for the Salvation Army : it will be readily seen that, from such a point of vantage, he will have had exceptional opportunities to study the question of migration in all its aspects. His talk will, in addition to containing much of general interest, be of special use to those who, either immediately or in the future, contemplate migration themselves.

ALTHOUGH Schubert, more than any other of the great masters, is known and loved by the ordinary listener, it is on quite a small number of his pieces that that popularity rests. It is possible to produce a vast number of Schubert's works which are still unknown, not merely to the casual listener, to whom it matters very little who made his music for him, but even to the enthusiast-even to all but a very few of Schubert's own special devotees. He left, for instance, four Sonatas, a Phantasie, and this Rondo, all for Pianoforte and Violin, which are practically unknown except to violinists, though on the rare occasions on which they are played the listener always wonders why he has not had a chance of hearing them before. The Rondo Brillante bears the earliest number of his pieces for violin and pianoforte—Opus 70. It was published in 1827, the year before he died, when ill-health and unkind circumstancos were already besetting him.

(Relayed from the Dome, Brighton)
IT has been claimed by some educationalists that the finest acquisition any man can bring away with him from his school and college training is the power really to find his way easily and intelligently about a good library. Indeed, one of the first attributes of scholarship is to be able to seize upon and apply the knowledge of the past: but this power to find your way about books is a necessity, equally, for the less pretentious scholar, too. 'By a man's library you shall know him,'is true in a large measure: but it is perhaps even more true that you shall know a student by his way of using his (or any other) library.
