The North American Review for May
is an important number for several rea-
sons, particularly because it contains
two articles which were written by
men who are not only leaders in their
different walks of life, but who have
not written and signed an article in
perhaps two decades. The rest of the
number is selected with a great deal
of care to cover the largest possible
field of contemporary subjects. For eX-
ample, the most important foreign SUBJ
ject of the hour is. of course, the war
between Russia and Japan in the Far
East Next in Importance is the Eng
fish expedition into Thibet, where Rus
STA and England must eventually eth
err clash arms or make a peaceable set
Element of boundaries. The most I'M
portant domestic subject of the hour is
unquestionably the development of our
colonial government. All these sub
jects are treated in this number. The
leading article Of the number is "On
College Journalism" and is by Joseph
Pulitzer, editor and proprietor OF the
New York World. 1t is well worth
reading. Count Cassini's article will
also be read with much interest. 1t
