Sir Samuel Hoare and Trade Development SIR SAMUEL HOARE, Secretary of State for Air, presidedat the inaugural lecture of the cultural studies and handicraft classes, organised for the staff of the Air Ministry, onOctober 11. In his opening address Sir Samuel said the lectures seemed to him to provide one of many answers to the chargesthat were often made quite ignorantly and irresponsibly against Civil servants, that they worked less than other peopleand were less interested in things happening outside their own department. Here they had a case of a great Governmentdepartment showing its many interests, not only in the day's work of the department, but in the other great subjectsoutside, and showing it in an increasing degree every year. Over 300 members of the department, including many R.A.F.officers serving in the Air Ministry, have enrolled for these courses. The first of the lectures, '" Trade and Travel in theMiddle Ages," was given by Dr. Eileen Power, M.A., D.Lit., of London University. 678
