A Committee has been appointed by the Editor to consult
upon any personal problems which readers may like to submit. It consists of a teacher, a priest of the Church of England, a doctor, and two medical psycholo- gists. They will bring their knowledge and experience together and try to arrive at a common judgment ; but the responsibility for a final answer will rest with Mr. Alan Porter. All questions will be answered by private correspondence, but a page of the Spectator will be reserved each week for discussions of general interest. Full details of our plan are given on a later page. We hope in this way to offer our readers a service of impartial and well-informed . advice, grounded upon thorough scientific training. We have often 'wished to offer such a service. It holds the ideal of establishing, as far as possible, personal and friendly relations with our readers. It will need their full co-operation to make the feature a success .and to exhaust its uses. The plan of the " Con- ference " is new ; a service of advice has never been _ — . undertaken with full knowledge and responsibility. The technical equipment of psychology has advanced greatly in our day, and we hope that our Conference will develop into a feature of great importance and value.
