and William L. Thomas as associates.
The financial responsibility for the
magazine has been assumed by the Y nj
versity of Chicago. The editorial policy
is declared to be insistenCe that the rela-
ton of details to the whole plexus OF
societary activities, past. present ana
future, shall be the fundamental con-
sideration in the conduct of the journal.
The editors hold that there are no short
cuts to prosperity, and that there is need
for such magazine as this to counteract
the idea that prevails to the contrary.

is one that impresses us most favorably,
are: "The Era OF Sociology" by A. W.
Small; 'The Place OF Sociology Among
Sciences" L. f. Ward; "Is Our Repu bile

is vigorous, direct, concise and scholarly
in all its matter. 1t promises well; we
are pleased with and wish ]. ali success.
