Purely Explanatory

About a Magazine of Influence

HERE are several magazines from which

THER

you can get entertainment. There are very few magazines from which you can get correct information. Even fewer are the magazines from which you can get authoritative discussion of the great questionseconomic, sociological, political and governmental-before the United States and the world today. We believe there are thousands and thousands of people looking for that sort of reading. Because every month it publishes just this latter kind of discussion Metropolitan is different from every other magazine.

How is this possible? Because Metropolitan is not owned by a trust, a syndicate or a paper company. It represents no "special interests," no group, no political party, no "ism." Its owner, editor-publisher is one man. There is no national magazine of any size and importance of which this is true except the Metropolitan. It believes its chief duty is to present important facts, not to sicken its readers with stale propaganda. If the facts are sometimes harsh and unwelcome, that is in the nature of things. The main thing is to have the courage to tell your story, and keep the public really informed.

This policy

explains the reputation of Metropolitan as being progressive. You will always find in Metropolitan editorials and articles that provoke thought about economic and social problems that are inevitably coming to confront us.

Metropolitan has become a great political force of widespread influence. Metropolitan is an opinion-making monthly, it is an interpreter of fighting questions-carrying a light it leads the way into the darkness of unsolved issues.

And yet Metropolitan is more than this. A magazine would not be a well-rounded family visitor unless it had entertainment also

-fiction. Your family needs information and entertainment. That is why Metropolitan is always about half articles and half fiction. The standard of fiction is high-we call it "real life" fiction. Each story is entertaining, yet each contains a contribution to life that will stay with you after you have laid the magazine aside. We like what the critics say about our "real life" fiction. Here is what one wrote about Metropolitan's fiction contributors-they are "people who write stories that other folks talk about and tell their friends about; stories with ideas big enough to make them remembered."

Another very prominent magazine review has just published this about Metropolitan "real life" fiction: "It will be hard to find another group of short stories so well calculated to hold the attention closely and afford a deal of entertainment."

Let us refer back to the opinion-making influence of Metropolitan. William Hard is now in Ireland solely representing the Metropolitan. The facts about Ireland are hard to get. No one yet knows them or has published them. We sent Hard to Ireland because he is the fairest, most honest, most penetrating journalist in the United States. He is adept at making complicated issues simple, human and understandable. He will do this for the Irish question.

You can read the real truth about Ireland in the May Metropolitan now published. Other articles by him on Ireland will follow. These Irish articles by William Hard are the most important now being published in American periodical journalism.

You can get the Metropolitan from your newsdealer—or any newsstand-for 25 cents. If you prefer, send us your address and $3 00 and the Metropolitan will be mailed you for a year.

MORE than five hundred of our readers

accepted our challenge to introspect appropriately and to enter the second of our prize contests, which closed March 31. The prize winners will be announced in an early issue. The contestants ranged from a rear admiral in the United States Navy to a Polish cobbler.

HE sense of editorial responsibility is

Tintensified by the candor of such a

letter as this: "I am one of those whose income did not increase with the increase in prices and really cannot afford to take The Outlook at the present high price, and do hope your cost of production will be reduced so you can reduce the price next year. I have not had a new summer suit in five years nor hat in four years, so you may see I have done without things; but I cannot do without The Outlook. Would rather have it than a new hat, so here is the $5 enclosed. I think I owe more to Lyman Abbott for my spiritual life than any one unless possibly Henry Ward Beecher, who influenced my youth (I am seventy-one now), and as long as I live I shall not give up The Outlook."

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, is noted for its gra

ciousness and charm. An example of the Atlanta spirit is displayed in a letter to us from the State Capitol which reads:

"If I were requested to describe in one word The Outlook of March 9, 1921, I would collect a bunch of box-car letters and form the word

SUPERB

"I doubt if you have ever issued a more complete, interesting, and instructive number than the one mentioned."

READER in Niagara Falls, New York,

A sends his copy of The Outlook each

week to the Seaman's Church Institute, whence it is likely to sail for almost any port under the sun; thousands of sailors are now in port because of enforced idleness, and many of them are improving their time in the reading-room of the Institute at 25 South Street over pages of The Outlook.

A lady in Bristol, Vermont, sends The Outlook to three of her nephews as a Christmas gift. One nephew is a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, who declares that nothing could have pleased him more, as The Outlook is the only printed news from the "good old U. S. A." he sees, save now and then a bundle of old New York papers; as soon as The Outlook arrives he reports that it is "devoured" from cover to cover. Another of her nephews is a senior in the Medical College of the University of Vermont; he has no time to read the daily papers, but feels The Outlook keeps him in touch with the important developments of the times. The third of this distinguished trio of nephews was a member of the Lafayette Escadrille; he reports that The Outlook holds first place in his esteem.

in the course of a famous speech, attributed solely to his mother his own greatness and success. In a few words, he immortalized her memory and the ideals by which he had been enobled.

How can we, today, fittingly express in some tangible form the gratitude which we all owe to those mothers of ours! How can we best acknowledge the infinite value of their early teachings, their countless sacrifices that we might some dav stand, leaders among men.

Surely it were wise and just fittingly to perpetuate for future generations, that love and those ideals which have animated us.

What could be more appropriate, more peculiarly fitting, than a memorial carved from enduring wood -a memorial in her own church, harmonizing with it in design and spirit.

What a wealth of suggestion from which to draw! It can take the form of a Lectern of inspiring design, a Sedilia, substantial and artistic in form, a Pulpit with its possibilities for individual expression in detailed carving, or in an Altar of exalted beauty.

These few suggestions serve to emphasize how personal an expression of respect and honor can be made to those who have passed on and how eloquently and beautifully their aims and aspirations can be perpetuated to future generations.

To those who desire to perpetuate the name of some one near and dear, we offer the services of our Ecclesiastical Department. A request will bring without ob

ligation, a beautifully illustrated booklet and complete information, making the selection of a fitting memorial a delightful task. If you will give the name of the particular church, it will help us in suggesting especially appropriate pieces.
