ART AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
“The Civil Service lias a long and honourable 'tradition in its service to the Arts,” writes Air Humbert AVolfe the poet, iu the “Civil Service Arts .Magazine. ’ “Its poets include Chaucer Alatthew Arnold and Austin Dodson. Its novelists Trollope and that very considerable writer AV. AV. Jacobs. Its claims in Pepys the greatest Diarist as it can claim Sir Edmund Chambers one df the most distinguished Shakespearean scholars, in A. B. AA alkley perhaps the best dramatic critic of his day, and in Air Harold Nicholson one of the most brilliant of contemporary biographists. Nor has it been found that artistic eminence has been inconsistent with development to and success in the sendee of the State. The ‘Civil Service Arts Alagazine, appeals to be a concrete manifestation of this happy quality, and as such I heartih welcome its appearance.
