Abstract
The American Philosophical Society has issued reports of two symposia held last year at Philadelphia (Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc., 90, No, 4; 1946), both of very general and vital interest, one of them on “Present Day Social and Economic Aspects of National Health” and the other on “U.N.E.S.C.O. and American Participation in its Activities”. As to the first of these symposia, it is obviously profitable to compare notes with the United States on the health of the people, on the role of Government agencies in a national health programme, and on the place of the physician in modern society. The other symposium is of great value as giving a comprehensive view of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation written by well-informed Americans.
