London’s New Civic Ideal.

London university has taken up a modern position and given a lead to Oxford and Cambridge by appointing a professor of town planning. Realising 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 flying 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 wfll be able to keep abreast of expert opinion, and to take a practical and effective interest in the city’s welfare. —T.
