As for defining nationality within each Do- minion, quite another point, the sug- "estion that legislation was necessary everywhere has found no support, and the matter Is left for future consulta- tion.

The first two classes go to tho tiaiiiiiig centres for si.t months and the third (n Instriietional courses for three* nioiillis. Kiieh a scheme iiiii;hl well be adopted here.

J^ A few portions have been omitted, including the Book of Chronicles, and parLs of the Apochrypha as well as genealogies. Spelling and punctua- tion have been modernized. In an introductory essay, Laurence Binyon declares that, "though the Bible represents one of the greatest literatures of the world, it has for centuries been studied apart from its literary form and value; the way in which it is printed testified to this ditference."
