THREE YEARS ago King George's Jubilee Trust undertook to make

a study of the influences which affect young people in Britain. This was a question of co-ordinating work that was already being done rather than of initiating fresh lines of re- search. Four working parties were set up. each concentrating on a different phase. The reports of their investigations have now been published by the Trust in a booklet called Citizens of Tomorrow. It would be unfortunate if people were put off by the committee-like style, wavering as it does between stock platitudes and ponderous levity, for this is otherwise a sound introduction to the subject.
