thorough sitting of truth from talsity
and to reduce the whole to such concise
| form as TO make it readable and yet in
telliglble, and we would have something
somewhat like this magazine. But not

! be possible, since no one man could find
time in the twenty-iour hours to do the
work-it would require a considerable
numb Der Of skilled men. With this num-

craft is to give more attention to matter
| addressed to the thoughtful, to educators,
! thinkers on advanced lines Of progress
1t is feature of Current History that
1t treats no topic or fact except so far as
1t has entered into history irrevocably.
