Abstract
THE Educational Advisory Board of the British Social Hygiene Council is arranging a Summer School for Teachers and Social Workers at Westminster College, Cambridge, during August 1-8. The main interest of the School will be focused upon a “School-Leavers' Course in Human Biology” which has recently been prepared by the Educational Advisory Board to assist in meeting the urgent problems that have arisen affecting adolescents as a result of war conditions. Various aspects of the syllabus will be presented in the form of symposia, contributed to jointly by distinguished biologists and practising school teachers. These symposia and the ensuing discussions should be of considerable value in helping participating teachers to a deeper understanding of the natural endowments of their pupils. Another section of the School will deal with some of the problems in social biology which· to-day have become a matter of vital concern for the peoples of the British Empire.
