London’s New Civic Ideal.

London university has taken up a modem position and given a lead to Oxford and Cambridge by appointing a professor of town planning. Realizing the vast importance of the move, we asked the occupant of the new office, Stanley D. Adshead, for a. few statements as to the lines upon which he will work. “You can’t study the shell without the mollusk, or, at least, the living inmate," said Mr. Adshead. “The chair; is particularly opportune. Of course, the school will go further than planning suburbs. As well as lecture courses for students, it has been suggested that there should be courses of public lectures." If this comes to pass, the general public will be able to keep abreast of expert opinion, and to take a practical and effective Interest in the city's welfare.—T. P.’s Weekly, London.
