WHAT ENGLAND CAN LEARN FROM AMERICA

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—What Mr. Angell says at the close of his most interesting article in the Spectator of June 27th is only too true. I think it is little short of a scandal that in a country that depends for its existence on trade and commerce and industry the elementary laws governing these activities are not taught to the workers. The laws of supply and demand, of the relation of Capital and Labour, the laws governing the production and distribution of wealth ought to be taught in every elementary school ; cannot the Workers' Educational Association do anything to remedy this ?—1 am, Sir, &c.,
