Abstract
THE Ethics and Science Conference arranged by the British Social Hygiene Council will be held on Friday, March 19, at the Livingstone Hall, London, S.W.I. The main theme of the Conference will be "Society and the Individual", each of the two sessions being devoted to a different aspect of this problem ; the speakers at the morning session considering "The Value Society Sets upon the Individual", and at the afternoon session "The Values the Individual Sets before Himself". The chair will be taken by Mr. L. J. F. Brimble and Dr. E. B. Strauss, and the speakers will include Mr. F. Ian G. Rawlins, Canon Marcus Knight, Mr. Kenneth Walker, Dr. E. H. Larkin, Mr. John Mackay-Mure, Mrs. Joan B. Thompson, Father Leycester King, Dr. Mary Smith, and others. Time will be allowed for discussion at both the morning and afternoon sessions and at an open meeting in the evening. It is hoped that, as a result, fresh light will be thrown upon the problems arising from the apparent conflict between the scientific and spiritual interpretations of life. Further information and tickets (members of the Council, 2s. 6d. ; others, 3s. 6d.) may be obtained from the British Social Hygiene Council, Dept. S.J.I, Tavistock House North, Tavistock Square, London, W.C.I.
