CURRENT LITERATURE

AN ACCOUNT OF THE SCAPA SOCIETY. By Richardson - Evans. (Constable. 6s.)

A SILVER thread of reverence for the beauty of our English

countryside runs through this record of the work of the National Society for Checking the Abuses of Public Adver- tising. Much of our civilization is based on publicity ; all the more reason then to insist that advertisements shall not offend good taste and manners, nor destroy the beauty of landscapes that men journey across the Seven Seas to view.

Mr. Evans's book is a worthy account of activities in a most commendable cause.
