ABSTRACT
The Founders of the School had definite ideas also as to the methods by which Social Science should be pursued. The existing departments of the London School of Economics and Political Science fall into two main groups, corresponding roughly to the two parts of its title. One group is concerned with economic relations of men and comprises, beside the department of Economics in the narrow sense, such subjects as accounting and business organisation, banking and currency, commerce and industry, and transport. In the other group, concerned with political and social relations, are politics and public administration, international relations, sociology, and law. In Social Biology there is no post. Special courses of lectures on problems of heredity have been given in recent years with marked success and meet an obvious demand. 'In Economic Psychology a beginning has been made in co-operation with the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, Director is a member of the School staff.
