The FORUM FOR APRIL.-The For
um for April contains a notable post
humous article by the late President
Barnard, of Columbus College, on the
degradation of our politics. President
Timothy Dwight, of Yale University
lays out a proper course of study for
a boy up to the 18th year, and COM
pares the advantages and disadvan-
tages of the oldtime system of educa.
tion and the present system. Frances
Power Cobbe makes review of the
changes in human nature that have
been developed by modern civiliza-
ton to show where in we are better,
and wherein we are worse than the
ancients. Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott,
the successor of Henry Ward Beecher
in Plymouth pulpit, points the differ.
ence between the "new theology u
and the "no theology" or between
liberal orthodoxy and agnosticism.
Charles Dudley Warner, an article,
The Newspaper and the Public, I'M
dertakes to show where the blame
rests for ultra-sensational papers. C.
Wood Davis, who has given long
study to the subject, constructs an ar
gument to show that the prime reason
tor agricultural depression is the over
production of farm products. DIR. j.
M. Charcot contributes another article
about his experiments on hypnotic
persons-this time to show that crimes
can be committed upon hypnotized
people, aud how they can be induced
by hypnotizers to commit crime.
10 fnin hxy
advocating woman suffrage, in which
he points out how every experiment
hitherto made in this direction has
been successful. Rev. DR. William
Barry writes on the Rights of Public
Property to show that monopoly is
but the appropriation by individuals
of things that properly belong to So
ciety and Richard Hodgson, secre-
sary of the Society for Psychical Re-
search, tells where trickery in spirit
ualism ends, and where really inter-
esting phenomena begin.
