The Central Council for -Economic Information are running a new

scheme for the study of economics through Mr. Melville Lee's journal, Industrial Peace. The scheme will be open to teachers, students, industrial and social workers, trade unionists, and ministers of religion, and will be absolutely free. The pamphlet describing the scheme starts with the motto, " Economics is the unseen thread on which the progress of mankind is strung," and ends with a list of books recommended. Unquestionably the Council's aim, that of the dissemina- tion of economic knowledge, is one of the most important that could be conceived. Information can be obtained from the Secretary, Study Scheme, c.o. Industrial Peace, 20 Magdalen Street, Oxford.
