1. 'Water Shortage' (28 September 1949)
Baddiley describes the current water shortage problem and suggests that marshy or swampy areas should be drained.
In his letter Baddiley recommends a curb on water consumption by both towns and rural areas, and proposes the invention of a 'cheap coin-in-the-slot' water meter.
2. 'The Humanities And Science' (not dated)
Baddiley reflects on a previous article, a report of Professor John.F.Fulton's Mond lecture which suggested that the gap between science subjects and humanities subjects should be solved by re-arranging the academic curriculum. Baddiley discusses his own views on the subject, namely disagreeing with Fulton. |
