Abstract
IN his presidential address to the British Association at Blackpool in 1936, Sir Josiah Stamp, discussing the impact of science upon society, stressed the need for a technique of social adjustment. The soundness of this plea has been emphasized in many subsequent discussions on the relations between science and society and has been confirmed by evidence afforded in such reports as those of the Commissioners for the Special Areas or the surveys of such areas ; for example, that of South Wales conducted by the University College, Cardiff.
