Computer aid to British firms

  • By Special to The Christian Science Monitor

The British government has inaugurated the National Computing Center for use by small business. The first unit will open in London this month. The Department of Industry is providing $1.5 million (US) over three years to run the service, which will provide advice-and-training clinics and help set up computer-systems programming.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education recently set up a $20 million (US) school program for computer instruction, and some 650 British schools have micro-facilities now in place.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
