Part 6

Conspicuous in the Fall issues will be papers of Travel. _Lafcadio Hearn_ will contribute sketches and interpretations of the new Japan. There will be further papers in Mr. Peabody's =An Architect's Vacation= series, the forthcoming one being entitled =The Venetian Day=. A delightful paper of Spanish travel by Mrs. _Miriam Coles Harris_ can be promised, and _Alice Brown_ will write of a visit to the original Cranford. _Bradford Torrey_ will publish further sketches of life and nature in his Tennessee haunts. Other articles of special interest, which can perhaps be classed under this head, will be =Reminiscences of Eastern Travel= by Miss _Harriet Waters Preston_; and _Josiah Flynt_, who has become an authority on the vagrant, will contribute one of his entertaining studies of tramp life, =The Children of the Road=.

The subject of =Education= will, as usual, receive attention. The Atlantic was the first of the leading magazines to make the discussion of important educational questions one of the features of its pages. In early issues will be printed articles by President _Tucker_, of Dartmouth, and Professor _J. H. Wright_, of Harvard.

The usual departments and the exhaustive book-reviews will continue to be features of each issue.
