 NOTES AND MEMORANDA 817 One of the most remarkable recent events was the Vienna meet- ing of the Institut International de Statistique. It may be hoped that the Governments, by carrying out the resolutions passed by the Con- gress, will furnish satistical materials which will be of great use to the economic public. The inaugural address of the .Rector of the Vienna University, Professor Dr. Adolph Exner, ' On Political Educa- tion, u has also made great impression; his appeal from the present age, the century of natural science, to the next, the 'political century' has been an object of applause as well as of the most diversified interpreta- tion.

AMONO the communications which we have received from our Australian Correspondent are some numbers of the Australiar Econom;st, the organ of the Australian Economic Association. The Australian Association greets the birth of its British cousin, and expresses the hope, in which we concur, ' that the day is at hand when articles will be sought for from writers on economic subjects, written from the vantage ground which the colonies afford, where the operation of economic forces can be more accurately traced by careful observation than in the midst of conflicting circumstances presented by the older seats of civilization. It ,was the expressed opinion of John Stuart Mill that Australia would be found to provide the solution of some of the many problems affecting the older communities.'  ber Politlsche Bildung.
