Social Economic Council

Famous quotes containing the words social, economic and/or council:

    ...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world.

    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    —Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
