T h is issue of the m agazine is very late. I t is reg rettab le and every effort is being m ade to
have th e n ex t issue into the m ails by F eb ru a ry 10th. T h e Jan u ary , 1917, issue will be m ailed during
F eb ru a ry and the F eb ru ary issue n o t la te r th a n M arch 1st. In a sh o rt tim e we w ill have our
issues in th e m ail during the proper m onth. T he E d ito r and A ssociate E d ito rs of the D epartm en t

valuable m atter w e w ish to give o u r readersth a n to reg ard the date of m ailing as m ore im por
tan t. A fter all, the m agazine is becom ing m ore of a book of special in stru ctio n th an a general
philosophical m agazine, and as such its date of m ailing or date of issue is secondary in im portance.
E ach y early subscription gives each subscriber 12 copies of th e m agazine, regardless of dates, and
certainly th e price of $2.50 for 12 such excellent books of in stru ctio n is very nom inal.
No m ore subscriptions at $1.50 can be accepted by the publishers, and after th e D ecem ber
n um ber copies can be m ailed only to actual subscribers, as decreed by th e P o st Office D ep art

T herefore, be sure to renew your subscription if you do n o t w ish to m iss a single num ber.
Back n u m b ers w ill increase in price each m onth.
