PUBLISHER'S NOTES

STATISTICAL expert has just submitted a novel report as to the amount of reading matter in The Outlook compared with other periodicals of its class. Since The Outlook is a weekly journal, he has totaled the number of words of reading matter in four average numbers for comparison with single issues of various monthly magazines. Thus he estimates that four issues of The Outlook contain about 189,000 words of text, compared with about 93,000 in one issue of the "Atlantic Monthly," 85,500 in "World's Work," 107,000 in "Scribner's," 112,500 in "Harper's," and 105,500 in the "Century." This expert also finds that The Outlook contains nearly twice as much reading matter each week as, respectively, the "New Republic," "Independent," or "Nation."

OTTLE BROTHERS, of Perry, Maire, wanted to know if we would accept fifteen jars of wild-raspberry preserves in payment of three years' subscription to The Outlook. There is a sweet-tooth in every hard-fisted New York countingroom, and so the offer proved irresistible. The jam has been ordered delivered to the employees' lunch-room.

TIMOURLAN, of Fresno, California,

A. subscribes for another year because

he disagrees with our policy on so many things-"especially your tiresome defense (or support) of the French."

R. K. SCOTT, a metallurgical engineer of Gary, Indiana, wants The Outlook for another year. He writes: "For over ten years I have been a subscriber, and each year it is more of a pleasure to forward my renewal; it is really a part of my home, and always will be so long as the principles and policies laid down by Lyman Abbott control its expression."

LLIS S. SMITH, of Hanover, Pennsylvania, writes: "As a teacher of English in the Hanover High School, I have found that the seniors seem benefited by taking The Outlook on the club plan. They make five-minute talks in chapel several times a week, basing their remarks on the news found in The Outlook. This is useful in bringing topics of the day to the attention of the other classes, who read the dailies but little and the better weeklies not at all. A recent article was the source of an essay by a sophomore girl on the subject, 'Would You Rather Be a Country Youth or a City Youth?" Books and reading are fostered by Mr. Townsend's reviews of current volumes that are published from week to week. It stimulates appreciative reading.

Are We a Nation of Low-Brows?

It is charged that the public is intellectually incompetent. Is this true? It is
charged that the public is afraid of ideas, disinclined to think, unfriendly to cul-
ture. This is a serious matter. The facts should be faced frankly and honestly

Without Cultural Leadership

The main criticism, as we find it, is that the people support ventures that are unworthy, that represent no cultural standards. The public is fed on low-brow reading matter, low-brow movies, lowbrow theatrical productions, low-brow music, low-brow newspapers, low-brow I magazines. We think the criticism is unfair in that it does not recognize the fact that the public is without cultural leadership. Those who have the divine spark get off by themselves. We believe the public has never had a real chance, never had an opportunity to get acquainted with the great and the beautiful things of life. Given half a chance, the public will respond.

We believe there has been enough talk

about the public's inferior taste. The
time has come to give the public an op-
portunity to find out something about
philosophy, science and other higher
things. And it must be done at a low
price, because the average person's pocket-
book is not fat. As it stands, the pub-
lishers charge about five dollars a volume,
and then wonder why the people stand
aloof.

We believe we have a way to find
out if the people are interested in the
deeper problems of life. And the first
thing we decided was to fix a price that
Ishall be within the reach of the person
with the most slender purse.

We have selected a library of 25 books, which we are going to offer the public at an absurdly low price. We shall do this to find out if it is true that the public is not going to accept the better things when

once given the chance. And we shall make the price so inviting, that there shall be no excuse on the ground of expense.

All Great Things Are Simple

Once the contents of the following 25 books are absorbed and digested, we believe a person will be well on the road to culture. And by culture we do not mean something dry-as-dust, something incomprehensible to the average mind-genuine culture, like great sculpture, can be made to delight the common as well as the elect. The books listed below are all simple works and yet they are great-all great things are simple. They are serious works, of course, but we do not think the public will refuse to put its mind on serious topics. Here are the 25 books:

Are the People Ready to Read These 25 Books?

25 Books--2,176 Pages--Only $1.85--Send No Money

If these 25 books were issued in the ordinary way they might cost you as much as a hundred dollars. We have decided to issue them so you can get all of them for the price of one ordinary - book. That sounds inviting, doesn't it? And we mean it, too. Here are 25 books, =containing 2,176 pages of text, all neatly -printed on good book paper, 31⁄2 x 5 inches in size, bound securely in card cover paper.

You can take these 25 books with you when you go to and from work. You can read them in your spare moments. You can slip four or five of them into a pocket and they will not bulge. You can investigate the best and the soundest ideas of the world's greatest philosophers-and the price will be so low as to astonish you. No, the price will not be $25 for the 25 volumes. Nor will the price be $5, though they are worth more than that. The

price will be even less than half that sum.
Yes, we mean it. Believe it or not, the
price will be only $1.85 for the entire
library. That's less than a dime a vol-
ume. In fact, that is less than eight cents
per volume. Surely no one can claim he
cannot afford to buy the best. Here is the
very best at the very least. Never were
such great works offered at so low a price.
All you have to do is to sign your name
and address on the blank below. You
don't have to send any money. Just mail
us the blank and we will send you the
25 volumes described on this page-you
will pay the postman $1.85 plus postage.
And the books are yours. Positively no
further payments.

Are we making a mistake in adver-
tising works of culture? Are we doing
the impossible when we ask the people to
read serious works? Are we wasting our
time and money? We shall see by the
