Vacation School on Social Biology

Abstract

A VACATION school on “Social Biology in Relation to Human Life and Culture” is to be held under the auspices of the British Social Hygiene Council, beginning on July 30 at Eton College. The school will last for a fortnight ; the cost will be £6 6s. a week inclusive. The programme will consist of morning instructional courses on social biology, its place in education and its bearing on current social problems. For these, Prof. A. E. Heath, professor of philosophy in University College, Swansea, Dr. Marjory Gibbons, Mrs. E. J. Hatfield, Prof. L. P. W. Renouf, professor of zoology in University College, Cork, Mr. R. Weatherall (of Eton College) and others are making themselves responsible. Still wider aspects of social biology will be dealt with in evening lectures and conferences, in which Prof. F. A. E. Crew, Mr. W. L. Sumner, and Father Leycester King are hoping to participate. In the first week the courses will be planned to appeal mainly to teachers of all kinds, not only to science teachers. In the second week they will relate to problems which concern not only educationists but also welfare workers, magistrates, labour managers and all others confronted with present-day social and administrative problems.
