Abstract
ATTENTION has so often been directed in these columns to the desirability of the adoption of more scientific methods in our Government departments that it gives us pleasure to notice the paper which was read by Dr. T. H. C. Stevenson before the Royal Statistical Society on June 21. Dr. Stevenson was appointed last year Superintendent of Statistics in the General Register Office for England and Wales, and his paper on suggested lines of advance in English vital statistics is, in effect, an outline of all the changes which it is proposed shortly to introduce in the mode of compilation of the vital statistics issued from that office, and of the mode in which it is proposed to compile certain tables in the census reports, more especially those relating to the new data to be obtained in 1911 (see NATURE for April 7, p. 152).
