Country Life
THE ZONING OF ENGLAND.
On thefront page of my local paper appear no fewer than three advertisements by local bodies of planning schemes, one of them a rural planning scheme, with • the suggestion that all who are interested should go to see a map of the scheme, open for public inspection without cost. Not all countrymen are able or care to travel to the neighbouring town, and it would be a good and educative step to print a number of copies of this map and display them in an accessible place in every village affected. These advertisements are but one instance of the astonishing acceleration of the campaign of preservation or conservation, and it happens that a most original contribution to the subject, full of fertile suggestions, has been published elsewhere during the week by that ingenious " Professor of Civics," Mr. Patrick Abercrombie, and a co-author.
