NOTES ON THE WRITERS

ROLLO OGDEN became a member of the editorial staff of the _New York Evening Post_ in 1891, and has been editor of that paper since 1903. He edited the _Life and Letters of Edwin Lawrence Godkin_, published in 1907. His article on “Some Aspects of Journalism” was published in the _Atlantic Monthly_ for July, 1906.

OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD, whose article, entitled “Press Tendencies and Dangers,” appeared in the _Atlantic_ for January, 1918, is a son of the late Henry Villard, who owned the _New York Evening Post_ and the _Nation_, and a grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, the great emancipator and editor of the _Liberator_. He succeeded his father as president of the _New York Evening Post_ and of the _Nation_, to both of which he frequently contributes editorials and special articles.

FRANCIS E. LEUPP was actively engaged in newspaper work for thirty years, from the time that he joined the staff of the _New York Evening Post_ in 1874 until 1904. During half of that time, from 1889 to 1904, he was in charge of the Washington bureau of the _Post_. Since retiring from that position, he has been doing literary work. His article on “The Waning Power of the Press” was published in the _Atlantic_ for February, 1910.

H. L. MENCKEN was connected with Baltimore newspapers for nearly twenty years, part of the time as city editor and later as editor of the _Baltimore Herald_, and for the last twelve years as a member of the staff of the _Baltimore Sun_, from which he has recently severed his connection. He is now one of the editors of _Smart Set_. “Newspaper Morals” was printed in the _Atlantic_ for March, 1914.

RALPH PULITZER, who wrote his reply to Mr. Mencken’s article for the _Atlantic_ for June, 1914, is a son of the late Joseph Pulitzer of the _New York World_ and the _St. Louis Post-Dispatch_. He began newspaper work in 1900, and since 1911 has been president of the company that publishes the _World_. He takes an active part in the direction of the editorial and news policies of that paper.

PROFESSOR EDWARD A. ROSS has been an aggressive pioneer in the field of sociology in this country and has written many books on social problems. His study of the suppression of news, the results of which were published in the _Atlantic_ for March, 1910, grew out of his interest in the newspaper as a social force.

HENRY WATTERSON, who takes issue with Professor Ross in his article on “The Personal Equation in Journalism,” in the _Atlantic_ for July, 1910, is the last of the great editorial leaders of Civil War days. For half a century his trenchant editorial comments in the _Louisville Courier-Journal_, of which he has been the editor since 1868, have been reprinted in newspapers all over the country.

AN OBSERVER has seen much service as the Washington correspondent of an important newspaper. “The Problem of the Associated Press” was printed in the _Atlantic_ for July, 1914.

MELVILLE E. STONE, who defends the Associated Press, has been its general manager for twenty-five years. Previous to his connection with that organization he was associated with Victor F. Lawson in the establishment and development of the _Chicago Daily News_. He has written a number of articles on the work of the Associated Press.

“PARACELSUS” sketches briefly his own career in journalism in his “Confessions of a Provincial Editor,” published in the _Atlantic_ for March, 1902.

CHARLES MOREAU HARGER, as head of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas from 1905 to 1907, was one of the first college instructors of journalism in this country. At the same time he was editor of the _Abilene_ (Kan.) _Daily Reflector_, which he has published for thirty years. “The Country Editor of To-day” is taken from the _Atlantic_ for January, 1907, and “Journalism as a Career,” from that for February, 1911.

GEORGE W. ALGER, author of the article on “Sensational Journalism and the Law,” in the _Atlantic_ for February, 1903, has been engaged in the practice of law in New York City for many years. He has taken an active part in the framing of New York state laws protecting workers. Two books of his, _Moral Overstrain_, 1906, and _The Old Law and the New Order_, 1913, deal with the relation of the law to social, commercial, and industrial problems.

RICHARD WASHBURN CHILD, although a lawyer, is best known to the reading public as the author of novels and short stories, many of which have been published in magazines. His article on “The Critic and the Law” appeared in the _Atlantic_ for May, 1906.

CHARLES MINER THOMPSON, editor-in-chief of _Youth’s Companion_, has been a member of the staff of that periodical since 1890. Previous to that time he was literary editor of the _Boston Advertiser_. “Honest Literary Criticism” was published in the _Atlantic_ for August, 1908.

JAMES S. METCALFE has been dramatic editor of _Life_ for nearly thirty years. In 1915 he established the Metcalfe dramatic prize at Yale University, his alma mater. His article on “Dramatic Criticism in the American Press” appeared in the _Atlantic_ for April, 1918.

RALPH BERGENGREN has been cartoonist, art critic, dramatic critic, and editorial writer on various Boston newspapers, and is a frequent contributor to magazines. “The Humor of the Colored Supplement” is taken from the _Atlantic_ for August, 1906.

JAMES H. COLLINS, whose article on “The American Grub Street” appeared in the _Atlantic_ for November, 1906, is a New York publisher, best known as the writer of articles on business methods published in the _Saturday Evening Post_.

OTHER ATLANTIC TEXTS FOR THE PROGRESSIVE TEACHER

ESSAYS AND ESSAY WRITING

Edited, with Notes and Introduction, by WILLIAM M. TANNER

_University of Texas._

This book is a collection of about seventy-five short familiar essays selected from the Contributors’ Club of _The Atlantic Monthly_ and specially edited for use in advanced high school work, as well as in college English. The selections, of about one thousand words each, are classified under five types of the familiar essay, each type-group preceded by a concise statement of its distinguishing characteristics. An introduction, with suggestions for study, specific questions, and a list of 250 suggestive titles for original essays, renders the volume unusually valuable as a textbook for classes in composition.

It is the aim of _Essays and Essay Writing_ to encourage the student in discovering his own ideas and in expressing his thought in as clear, personal, fresh, vigorous, and correct style as he can develop. An attempt is made to assist both student and teacher to get away from the rather trite, impersonal composition, or ‘weekly theme’. Originality, clearness, simplicity, ease, and naturalness of expression are qualities emphasized throughout the book.

Among the titles included in the Table of Contents are essays on such everyday subjects as ‘The Saturday Night Bath’, ‘Furnace and I’, ‘The Daily Theme Eye’, ‘On Noses’, and others, which readers of _The Atlantic Monthly_ have particularly appreciated, and which both students and teachers have welcomed with new interest.

For advanced High School and College Classes.

_Examination copies sent to teachers on request._

$1.00, postpaid; school rate, 80 cents, carriage additional.

ATLANTIC NARRATIVES, First Series

Selected and Edited by CHARLES SWAIN THOMAS, A.M.

_Head of the English Department, Newton (Mass.) High School, and Lecturer in the Harvard Summer School_

This book contains twenty-three short stories of unusual merit which have appeared in _The Atlantic Monthly_. Chosen for their high literary value and for their freshness, modernity, and human interest, these stories are typical of the best work of John Galsworthy, Dallas Lore Sharp, Henry Seidel Canby, Katharine Fullerton Gerould, E. Nesbit, Margaret Prescott Montague, and other leading writers of England and America.

Although a delightful book for the general reader, _Atlantic Narratives_ is published especially for use in college classes in English. In addition to acquainting students with the best in contemporary short stories, it will help them to compare and discuss intelligently the most eminent story-tellers, _not of yesterday, but of to-day_—the men and women who are _now_ writing for our better publications, and whose works must be included in any scheme of education in English which is not one-sided.

The volume contains a general introduction, including a suggestive discussion of the modern short story, critical comments upon each story, and brief biographical notes. The editor has aimed to make, not a ‘textbook’ containing short stories, but a book of short stories so good that it will be used as a text.

_Examination copies sent to teachers on request._ $1.00, postpaid; school rate, 80 cents, carriage additional.

ATLANTIC NARRATIVES, Second Series

_in preparation_

Similar to Atlantic Narratives First Series, but intended for the use of younger students, this collection of Atlantic short stories is selected and edited for secondary schools.

THE ATLANTIC CLASSICS SERIES

Although both series of ATLANTIC CLASSICS are intended primarily for the general reader, both are being used with success in classes in American literature. These collections of _Atlantic Monthly_ essays present the work of some of our best contemporary authors. The fact that these distinguished men and women are still writing, cannot fail to quicken the student’s interest both in them and in the essays as subjects of study.

ATLANTIC CLASSICS, First Series

The sixteen essays in this volume include among others: ‘Turtle Eggs for Agassiz’ by Dallas Lore Sharp; ‘A Father to his Freshman Son’ by Edward Sanford Martin, ‘Reminiscence with Postscript’ by Owen Wister, ‘The Provincial American’ by Meredith Nicholson, ‘The Street’ by Simson Strunsky, ‘A Confession in Prose’ by Walter Prichard Eaton, and ‘Our Lady Poverty’ by Agnes Repplier.

ATLANTIC CLASSICS, Second Series

Among the essays contained in this collection are ‘Every Man’s Natural Desire to be Somebody Else’ by Samuel McChord Crothers, ‘The Devil Baby at Hull House’ by Jane Addams, ‘The Greek Genius’ by John Jay Chapman, ‘Haunted Lives’ by Laura Spencer Portor, ‘Jungle Night’ by William Beebe, and others of equal interest to the general reader and to the young student.

Suitable for College and advanced High School classes.

_Examination copies of either book sent to teachers on request._

Each $1.25, postpaid; school rate, 83 cents, carriage additional.
