Cosmopolitan Magazine 



During 1897 .... 



An Important Series of 

 Papers on the Conduct of 

 Great Business 

 Operations. 



The Cosmopolitan will 

 present a valuable se- 

 ries of papers on the 

 great industries and ttiore 

 important operations of 

 finance and business. 

 They will be from the 

 pens of men thorough- 

 ly familiar with the subjects of which they write. No 

 business man, however high his place in the financial 

 world, or humble his commercial life, but will find 

 interesting and instructive material in this series. It 

 will constitute a very complete course of business 

 training, and every young man just entering com- 

 mercial life, and every old man, however experienced, 

 will alike find it of value. The first of the series is in 

 the March number, on 



" The Methods of Banking/ 9 



by Thomas L. James, formerly Postmaster-General, 

 many years president of the Lincoln National Bank. 

 This paper is illustrated by portraits of twelve of the 

 leading bankers of New York, taken for The Cosmo- 

 politan in their bank offices by flash-light. 



Mr. Julian Haw- 

 thorne is on his way 

 to India, as commis- 

 sioner for The Cosmo- 

 politan, to investigate 

 the famine and plague 

 now desolating that 

 land. India is the least 

 known of the populous countries of the earth, and it 

 is worth while sending there an American with an 

 established reputation for fairness and sincerity, who 

 will paint, in his own graphic style, the actual con- 

 dition of affairs.

not chosen " The Mar- 

 tians " as his last title, 

 that would have been 

 the name of the new 

 story of Mr. H. G. 

 Wells, to be begun in 

 the ApriLCosMOPOLiTAN. 

 "The War of the Worlds " is one of the most brilliant 

 pieces of imagination ever put in words. Swift and 

 Poe, Jules Verne and Flammarion have all been left 

 behind by the boldness of this new conception of Mr. 

 Wells. Mars, growing cold through the ages, the 

 fight for life on that planet has developed the intelli- 

 gence of its people to acuteness many centuries in 

 advance of the inhabitants of our globe. They de- 

 termine to migrate and seize upon our warmer soil. 

 England is the point at which they arrive, and the 

 interest is intense from the first to the closing chapter. 



During 1897 The 

 Cosmopolitan will con-

 bearing upon the merits 

 and defects of the edu- 

 cational system of the

 promised to contribute to the series, 

 the broadest possible discussion, the editor of The 

 Cosmopolitan has prepared a table of subjects which 

 seem valuable for the equipment of the young man 

 or woman entering the world as constituted in the 

 year of our Lord 1897. The courses of the great uni- 

 versities will be placed in comparison with this table, 

 and the opinions of officers of the university sought 

 in criticism or defense of the merits of the existing 

 arrangement of studies. It can do no harm to have, 

 just at the close of the nineteenth century, a general 

 discussion of the merits of our educational methods. 

 On the contrary, it may serve a useful purpose — and 

 it will be interesting to know what leading educators 

 really think of the system in vogue.
