EDITORIAL NOTES.

This article presents several editorial notes, to be published in different issues between October 1915 to January 1916 of the journal "The Sociological Review." In the first the editor reports about a Civic Survey of Westminster and Chelsea in London, England, which was carried on by a group of architects and artists under the auspices of the Cities Community of the Sociological Society and the Civics Laboratory of Crosby Hall. The immediate occasion for the Westminster and Chelsea Survey was provided by the war. To meet the dislocation of the architectural profession caused by the general stoppage of building, there was organized, mainly through the efforts of the Royal Institute of British Architects, a series of civic surveys at various places throughout the country. The opening article "Nationality and Government " raises issues of the first importance. On the one side are the material forces of government-administrative officialdom, law courts, police and military and naval forces, etc. On the other are the immaterial influences that mould public sentiment and form public opinion.
