Eprrep By Epwarp J. WHEELER 
a richly illustrated news-magazine 
has become, under its new editor, one of the most brilliant reviews 
of world-events ever published. As a contemporary says: ‘‘ Each 
number makes us wish we had nothing else to read.’’ It presents a 
dramatic narrative of the great events of the month and interprets their 
meaning. The thought-harvest of two hemispheres appears monthly in 
its pages, which are brimful of valuable information on Politics, Science, 
Industry, Literature, Religion, Art and the people who keep the world 
‘turning around. To the busy man and woman, it is indispensable. 
It comes pretty near to being the ideal magazine for every home. 
THE SIX LEADING DEPARTMENTS ARE : 
A Review of the World 
This, the first department in CurRENT Lir- 
ERATURE, consisting of 32 pages, is ‘an illus- 
trated review of the large events of the month, 
the world over, and the interpretation of 
these events from the most authoritative 
sources available. It is an orderly, brilliant, 
vital presentation of facts in their relations 
to each other, and of the various personalities 
lying back of these facts. 
Literature and Art 
Contains the most interesting articles on 
everything that has to do with creative litera- 
ture or with painting, sculpture and the allied 
arts. The world-figures in art and letters are 
interpreted. Numerous illustrations. 
Science and Discovery 
It is made up of the great developments 
that are wrought out by the leaders of science 
and authoritatively described in the recog- 
nized organs of scientific men in all countries. 
People in the Foreground 
This department is not a collection of 
gossipy bits. It contains real life-stories of 
people who are doing important things and 
occupying important posts. It is more in- 
teresting than fiction, and is full of stimula- 
tion and information. 
Religion and Ethics 
The aim in this department is to present 
every vital tendency and point of view dis- 
passionately and without bias or sectarian 
feeling of our own. Each school of thought— 
whether Mohammedan, Buddhist, Protestant, 
Roman Catholic or Agnostic—is represented 
from time to time by its ablest spokesmen. 
Music and the Drama 
This is a department rich in emotional in- 
terest. All the important books and articies 
on music and the drama are treated. New 
operas and plavs are described, and the esti- 
mates of leading critics given. 
The VITAL things said and done, those that really count. those that 
have power for good or ill, are what CURRENT LITERATURE deals 
with. This does not mean the heavy and abstruse, these are seldom 
vital. It means the things that have life in them, the thoughts that have 
feeling and purpose behind them, the events that affect human destinies. 
Published monthly, $3.00 a year, 25 cents a copy—on all news-stands
