ELEMENTARY ECONOMIC TEACHING
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—In the very interesting article entitled, " What is Wrong with England ? " published in your issue of October 10th, the writer epitomized by saying that what was needed was educa- tion, in the rudiments of economics in order to allay dissatis. faction caused by false teaching and to make the need for ua•psration between employees and employers more realized. I write, therefore, to say that such-is the ideal and the aim of the National Industrial Alliance of Employers and Em- ployed. It is doing a great work in educating employers as well as employees in the need for co-operation. It provides lectures by arrangement with various bodies, including the Polytechnic and the London School of Economics, at their institutes, and also at its. own offices. Its branches in the main provincial areas carry on similar educational work.
We of the National Industrial Affiance are endeavouring to instil into the minds of our fellow-citizens that antagonism between " Capital " and " Labour " should not be the natural order of things, but that their interests are mutual. In our lectures and classes we emphasize the difficulties in carrying on the organizing side of modern industry. Our work is officially recognized by the Board of Education, and many of our students have taken degrees in the various subjects, while countless others have obtained a thorough grasp of economics.
Our general secretary would be only too willing to give full information to those interested if they will apply to him at the offices of the Alliance, 25 Queen Anne's Gate, S.W.-
I
am, Sir, &c., REGINALD CAMPBELL,
Executive Committee of the N.I.A.
