QUESTIONING SPIRIT
ANSWERS, by Walter Murdoch; Melbourne University Press, Australian price 13/6. ‘| HE author was Professor of English in and later Chancellor of the University of West Australia; and his book is a collection of the answers to an assortment: of 100 of the miscellaneous questions sent in by readers and discussed by Professor Murdoch in the Melbourne Herald and in a number of other newspapers in Australia and New Zealand. The questions are extraordinarily diverse, the answers pithy, and usually ful] of sense, wisdom and humour. Readers will share the author's wonder "how widespread the questioning spirit is in a modern community." Naturally, there is no attempt at classi-
fication and -+no index. IT like best the answer to the estion, "What won the St. Leger at Adélaide on 10/5/47?"
