PROSPECTUS FOR 1897. 



DURING the last few years science 

 has been unusually fruitful in im- 

 portant and striking discoveries. He- 

 lium and argon, the electric furnace, and 

 the X-ray are but a few of the more start- 

 ling results in the physical sciences. 

 Similarly important if less sensational 

 advances are being made in the fields 

 of medicine and sanitation. Students of 

 society and politics are coming to see 

 the necessity for a scientific study of 

 sociology, if we are to cope successfully 

 with the increasing difficulties of modern 

 civilization. We have always insisted 

 that such a study was the only one which 

 promised any satisfactory solution of 

 social problems, and that many of so- 

 ciety's worst evils were due simply to 

 ignorance of elementary scientific prin- 

 ciples. It is very gratifying to observe 

 the unmistakable signs of a growing ac- 

 ceptance of this view that have become 

 manifest during recent years. In our 

 issues for 1897 we shall endeavor, as 

 heretofore, to help on this movement 

 by giving to the general public month 

 by month a summary, in simple words, 

 of what is going on in the various fields 

 of scientific research, and of the applica- 

 tions of the principles thus worked out. 

 Among the features of special interest 

 will be a series of papers by Professor 

 William Z. Ripley, on the Racial Ge- 

 ography of Europe, the subject of the 

 last course of Lowell lectures delivered 

 by him. The articles will be freely illus- 

 trated. David A. Wells's interesting 

 papers on Taxation will continue, and 

 there will be a series of carefully pre- 

 pared illustrated articles on science at 

 the universities, which is to include 

 accounts of the leading scientific insti- 

 tutions and societies of the country. 

 Education and child psychology will be 

 given considerable space, and sanitary 

 questions, especially in connection with 

 household economy, will receive atten- 

 tion. Timely single articles may be 

 expected from our usual contributors, 

 among whom may be named : 



Andrew D.White, David A. Wells, Apple-
