ADAMS 438 NEW YORK THE FORUM PUBLISHING COMPANY 125 East Twenty-Third Street Paris Agency: Librairie Galignani, 224 Rue de Rivoli 35 Cts. a Copy [Vol. XXXIII, No. 4] $3.00 a Year The Forum The Forum Publishing Company begs to announce that, beginning with the July number, THE FORUM will be published quarterly, instead of monthly, as heretofore. The general character of the magazine will be the same, and its high standard will be maintained, but its purposes will be more specifically those of a review and outlook. It is believed that by publishing quarterly a review of the world's events in every field, as well as to some extent an outlook based on the conditions presented, the essential features can be fully covered. In order that the material may present the proper perspective, the magazine will be conducted in departments each of which will be in charge of one who is eminently qualified by his training and connections to take charge of it. In addition to the general reviews, each issue will contain a number of special articles on subjects of paramount interest. A quarterly review of this nature will have several advantages over the monthly magazine. In the first place, the field being covered but once in three months, the busy man will be enabled to keep in touch with all the important questions of the day by reading the magazine at his leisure. Secondly, it will give those interested in a special field an opportunity to find the essence of what they wish in a comparatively limited space. And, thirdly, the information will be presented in such a form that the magazine will appeal not only to mature minds, but to every member of the family. As at present outlined, the following departments will be represented: 1. American Politics: Important Congressional legislation, insular affairs, our foreign relations, State and municipal legislation of special interest, discussion of political platforms during election periods, etc. 2. Foreign Affairs: Important measures passed by foreign governments, complications between foreign countries, the world's wars, social movements, etc. 3. Finance and Economics: Financial and economic legislation in different countries, the world's commerce, railroad development, etc. 4. Science, invention, and engineering. 5. Literature: A discussion of books that have attracted wide attention and of other important literary productions. 6. Music and the Drama. 7. Art: An account of interesting events in the domain of painting, sculpture, architecture, archæology, etc. ›8. Educational Events: This section will discuss important pedagogical works, the most essential features of educational meetings, new educational institutions, special educational movements, etc. .9. Educational Research : It will be the purpose of this department to publish the results of educational investigations only, as distinguished from pedagogical discussions of a general nature-work on the plan indicated by the articles on spelling which appeared in THE FORUM for April and June 1897, and which represent an absolutely novel feature in the field of educational literature. The section will contain the results of the investigations of the editor, who is now continuing the researches some time ago interrupted, and will also be open to the publication of data collected by other investigators who are laboring on similar lines.
