Abstract
In July last year the British Social Hygiene Council held a conference on “The Problems of Communal Life: the Ethical and Scientific Approach”, which proved so successful that the Council was asked to arrange something similar this year. In response to this request, a one-day conference has been arranged for December 4, and will take place in the Livingstone Hall, Tothill Street, Westminster, S.W.I. Its main theme will be “Society and the Individual”, which will be considered under two headings, namely, “The Values Society sets upon the Individual”, and “The Values the Individual sets before Himself”. Ample time will be allowed for discussion at the end of both the morning and afternoon sessions and at an open meeting in the evening. Once again the aim of the Conference is to effect, in some measure, a synthesis between the spiritual and the scientific interpretations of life. The chair will be taken by Prof. Winifred Cullis and Dr. E. B. Strauss, and the speakers include Mr. L. J. F. Brimble, Father Leycester King, Canon Marcus Knight, Dr. E. H. Larkin, Mr. J. Mackay-Mure, Dr. Mary Smith, Mrs. Joan B. Thompson, Mr. Kenneth Walker, and Mr. R. Weatherall. Further information and tickets (members of the Council 2s. 6d., others 3s. 6d.) can be obtained from the British Social Hygiene Council, Tavistock House North, Tavistock Square, London, W.C.I.
