In the House of Commons on February 25 Sir P. 
Magnus asked the Prime Minister whether the Govern- 
ment intended to introduce this session a Bill for the 
reorganisation of the University of London, and, if so, 
whether that Bill would be presented as a separate 
measure or as part of the measure for the develop- 
ment of a national system of education. In reply, Mr. 
Asquith said :—‘‘ Pending the report of the Depart- 
mental Committee on the University of London, I am 
not in a position to announce the intentions. of the 
Government. It will probably be convenient and desir- 
able to deal with this question in a separate measure.”’ 
A sErIES of conferences on the educational value of 
the kinematograph was held in connection with the 
recent International Exhibition in Glasgow. The in- 
augural address at the opening of the exhibition by Sir 
John Ure Primrose was largely devoted to the educa- 
tional possibilities of the kinematograph. The educa- 
tional conferences were begun on February 19, under 
the presidency of the Lord Provost of Glasgow by an 
address from Prof. J. W. Gregory on the kinemato- 
graph as an educational medium, in which he de- 
scribed its value in many fields of educational work, 
and notably in geography and technology. In later 
sessions of the conference Mr. J. Cuthbertson, of the 
Glasgow High School, opened a discussion on the 
kinematograph as an aid to literary studies, Mr. G. 
Eyre-Todd on its use in the teaching of history and 
geography, Mr. D. B. Duncanson, of the Glasgow 
Provincial Training College, on its scientific and in- 
dustrial applications, and Dr. John Smith, chairman 
of the Govan School Board, on its value in nature-
