Abstract
THE Final Report of the Adult Education Committee of the Ministry of Reconstruction (Cd. 321, is. gd.), appointed in July, 1917, as a Sub-Committee of the Reconstruction Committee, over which the Prime Minister presided, but afterwards, on the establishment of the Ministry of Reconstruction, as a Committee of the Department, has been issued and presented to the Prime Minister, in the absence of a Minister of Reconstruction to succeed Sir Auckland Geddes. It is a most informing and suggestive document, and has been preceded by three interim reports dealing respectively with industrial and social conditions in relation to adult education, and suggesting drastic reforms, both industrial and social; education in the Army; and libraries and museums, in which it is insisted that a much closer relationship and co-operation should be arranged 'with other branches of educational work, even to the extent of the transfer of their administration to the local education authorities.
