HOW THE OUTSTANDING BOOKS ARE CHOSEN EACH MONTH HE Book-of-the-Month Club has a group of five critics to select the most readable and important new books each month-Henry Seidel Canby, chairman, Heywood Broun, Christopher Morley, Dorothy Canfield, and William Allen White. They also choose the most outstanding book amongst these, and this is sent to all subscribers, unless they want some other book which they may specify. Or they need take none at all! Over 85,000 discriminating people now use this sensible and convenient service, to keep themselves from missing the best new books. It has, however, met with this interesting criticism: "I don't want anyone to select what books I shall read. I want to choose my own books." What force is there in this objection? H AVE you ever given thought to the considerations that now move you in deciding to read any book? You hear it praised by a friend. Or you see an advertisement of it in a newspaper. Or you read a review of it by some I critic whose account of it excites your interest. You decide you must read that book. Note, however, what has happened: it is always recommendation, from some source, that determines you to read it. True, your choice is completely free, but you exercise your choice among recommended books. Now, what would be the difference, if you belonged to the Bookof-the-Month Club? Strange to say, upon analysis, you will find that in practice you would be enabled to exercise a greater liberty of choice and, above all, you would actually get the books without fail-that you decided to read, instead of missing them, as you now do so frequently. How is this effected? fifteen other books, which they consider worthy of being recommended for one reason or another. What is the effect of this? You will readily admit that books so chosen are likely to be ones you would not care to miss. Certainly, they will have as strong a recommendation behind them as behind the books you are influenced to read through other sources. Nevertheless, tastes differ. This combined vote of the judges is not considered infallible, and you are not compelled, willy-nilly, to accept it. Before the "book-of-the-month" comes to you, and a month before it is published, you receive a carefully written report describing the sort of book it is. If you don't want, you specity that some other boo e sent instead. You make your choice from the other important new books, which are recommended by the Committee, and carefully described in order to guide you in your choice. If you want no book at all, in any one month, if none of them appeal to you, you specify that none be sent. If, however, you decide to take the "book-of-the-month" or any recommended book, and then find you are disappointed, you can still exchange it for any other book you prefer. Satisfaction Guaranteed The ultimate result, therefore, is that you really choose your own booksbut with more discrimination than heretofore-and moreover, you are given a guarantee of satisfaction with every book you obtain upon the recommendation of our Committee.. The cost of this thorough-going, sensible and convenient service is -nothing! The cost of the books is the same as if you got them from the publisher himself by mail! And the only obligation you have is to take at least four books a year-any four books!-out of the 150 or more reported upon by the Committee in the course of the year. Send for our prospectus which explains how smoothly this service is operating for over 85,000 discriminating people. Your request will involve you in no obligation to subscribe. how much will your capital increase in the next 10 YEARS? IN the past ten years we have wit nessed an almost amazing expansion of American business, with an attendant uprush of security prices. Whether this growth will continue at the same rate, of course, is problematical, yet your money must continue to be invested The next ten years will see many changes They may hold for you failure or larger success. And money-its lack or its possession-obviously will play a most important part Upon the wisdom of your investment selections, then, depends in large measure your business progress, your freedom and your happiness This advertisement is written for men who today are successful and who have the foresight to prepare to profit to the fullest extent from the developments of the next ten years These men appreciate the necessity of choosing sound, growing investments, as well as the difficulty attendant upon such choice The following paragraphs may be the means that will enable you to say in 1938, "I bave gained my measure of success", instead of "I know now the mistakes I made". Two ways are open There are two roads open before you your business and your investments It is with the second that we are concerned and have been for nearly a quarter century During that time we have accumulated certain experience and equipment A certain standing and national prestige have been acquired, due solely to the results that Brookmire has secured. . . . measured in terms of greater profits and greater capital safety for every client. We believe it is conservative to say that 96 of every hundred men reading this advertisement have not-over the past 5 years, or 10, or 20 years-secured consistently as high a return as they would have through following Brookmire advice And yet, these men may have been highly successful in business Example after example combine to show the reason for this almost universal situation Regardless of your ability the time you have available for a study of investment is tremendously limited Investment with you must be an avocation And, as an avocation, it never can be fully successful. Contrast with this, Brookmire Here, investment counsel is a vocation, is our sole business-with our entire staff working constantly on it. Conclusions are arrived at after consideration from every angle There are no snap judgments There cannot be, for Brookmire Service as a national institution depends on just one thing: the ac- Many men know that they should have this Brookmire Now is the best time For your convenience we have attached a coupon that will BROOKMIRE ECONOMIC SERVICE, INC. An organization-notional in scope-whose business is to provide invoerment counsel to individuals and institutions whether the amount be $5,000 or $1,000,000.

From Publisher To You Two things in this issue have made us reflect. One is William Allen White's remarks about the Republican Convention at Kansas City. The other is Claude Bragdon's paraphrase of the philosophy of the Hindu, Krishnamurti. "Do not shun life, therefore, nor be afraid to adventure and experiment... For if you trust life, instead of fearing it, you will find that life will itself sustain you. . . . Self-mastery and the understanding of life are necessary for spiritual enlightenment, and these can be gained best by living." So says Krishnamurti. And we imagine that most of our younger generation will agree with him. Katherine Mansfield has recorded in her diary, written only for herself, how she looked at the mountains, and prayed to God-and thought of something clever. Leonard Bacon in a recent review says: "To be jocular with the tangled psychological and physiological passions of men and women, to view them as at once comic and of no importance, is a spiritual giveaway. It proves deadness of soul." CERTAINLY, arrival at some method of understanding ourselves seems to be the thing that most people nowadays are after. Increasingly it is taking some such form as Krishnamurti suggests—a desire to live fully, in order that we may understand what manner of beings we are; and then positively to mold ourselves and our world after what we have discovered. AND meanwhile, what of William Allen White? Says Mr. White: "When a great party like the Republican Party resolves to keep business out of politics and politics out of business, when it abandons the purpose of its founders to make the Government an agency of human welfare, the best minds of the country go into business and party politics are conducted by a lot of animated rubber stamps." So far have we gone from the men of 1776, the Continental Congress, and a generation that knew what it believed and carried its personal beliefs into public action, politically, and on the field of battle.
