African Growing Pains

PROFESSOR W. M. MACMILLAN

The main problem of the second Elizabethan age is the organisation of attitudes based on science and industrialism and the levelling, matter-of-fact frame of mind which they induce, so largely remote from the emotions of history. Next quarter we hope to publish a number of studies directed at the problem, including a brief summary of the Nuffield report on African education, a lecture on the work of the Committe for Technical Co-operation South of the Sahara, and a comment on the integration of new social classes in the local government of Western Nigeria. Meanwhile this abridged lecture by a well-known authority does much to remind us of the psychological problem. It was given on the 26th March, with Major Lewis Hastings in the Chair.
