MAGAZINES.
The Century for September has many
salient points of interest. The subject
which will probably attract the widest in
terest is the discussion of the Treatment
of Prisoners at Camp Norton" Indianapo-
lis, during the war, a discussion begun by
DIR. John A. Wyeth's article in the April
Century. The frontispiece Of the number
is a portrait of Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
whose poems are the subject Of a critical
review by Frank Dempster Sherman, which
has the advantage OF liberal quotation
from the poet. Mr.. Sherman's conclusion
is that MIR. Aldrich is lone Of the rarest
lyric poets of the nineteenth century,"
Mr.. Kennan contributes the opening article
on IA Winter Journey Through Siberia
which not only describes the country and
Mr.. Remnants adventures and perils among
the exiles, but throws not a little light
upon recent phases Of the Siberian question.
The article is fully illustrated, and includes.
remarkable dream of the writer.
In the series Of Italian Old Mas
tiers Mr.. Stillman comes to Francia and
Ghirlandaio, and single example is pre-
Sented of each, the engraving Of the por-
trait attributed to Francia being one Of the
most notable wood-engravings ever pub
lished in the Century. In the series
of separate engravlngs Of paintings
by American artists is shown the
David and Goliath" Of William l.. Dodge,
one of the youngest of our painters. There
ia large amount of other interesting
matter in the number. The Century, Union
Square, New York.
Several grave problems are discussed in
the Forum for September. They relate to
education. The grave problems in educa.
ton, the problems that remain grave, how
ever great our educational advancement
because they are fundamental, are: d
What q preparatory school for boys should
teach; for example-how far moral instruc-
tion should be a matter of direct or routine
work, and how far a matter of general
influence only; how far work should be
done for mental drill and how far for the
acquisition of facts. q The corre~
spending problem of the proper
education of girls; whether the
schools for their higher educa-
ton, and the colleges that admit both
sexes, and the ''enuexesn to universities
have been successful. Hero. too, comes in
the old contention that women are not
physically equipped for severe training. %
Ae our universities properly related to
present American life and conditions or are
they to too great degree survivals from
obsolete couditionsi As part of this same
problem the work of the schools Of tech
nology and of Industrial schools comes up
for consideration: Do shey do the work of
real education. These fundamental prob
lens are all discussed in the September
number. The foregoing are only few of
the important ques ions discussed in the
number. The Forum Publishing Company,
Union square, New York.
The Arena for September is as usual fully
abreast with the advanced Thought Of the
times. The paper which will probably at
tract most attention, owing to its timely
appearance, is FASHIONS Slaves" a pro
fusely illustrated contribution on woman's
dress reform, by the editor. We do not
know whether or not Mr.. Flower had been
informed of the proposed inauguration of
the dress reform movement at Chau-
tauqua, which has attracted such gen
eral notice bv virtue of the radical position
taken by its leaders and the encouragement
given the move by such leading women as
Miss Frances E. Willard and Mrs. FreLces
E. Russell, but he certainly scores another
palpable hit In the timely appearance of this
paper. Among the many other noteworthy
contributions are the Rev. Dr. George G.
Lorimer's defence of DR.. Briggs and his as-
sociates; Frederic W. Ii. Meyer Of Cam
bridge, England, on the work accomplished
by the English Psychical Society; Kuma
Oishi, NJ. a.. of Toxic, Japan, on constitu
tional government in Japan; Rabbi Solo
mon SCHNEIDER on internigration aud Syl-
vester Baxter on the Aus rian postal
banking system. The Arena has made for
itself the foremost place as the review of
advanced and progressive thought. The
