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. but Its purposes will be more spe-
cihcally those OF Q review and outlook.
II is believed that by publishing quarterly
a review OF the worlds events In every
field. as well as to some extent an out
look 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 1t. In addition to the gem
eral reviews, each issue will contain a
number OF special articles on subjects Of
paramount interest.
