We wish all our readers a Happy New Year, and a World Almanac for 1911. HE New Year and the new World Almanac are ready simultaneously for delivery to the public. The former is confidently expected to contain the regulation 365 day duly apportioned into four assort- ed seasons, averaging three months each. ‘Nhe Almanac, in addition to calendars, dates of feasts and fasts, seed-time and harvest, anniversa- ries, charts, phases of the moon, the sun's ascension and declina- tion, and any amount of formu- lated weather wisdom, contains nearly $00 pages of solid but va- riegated reading matter, without counting the considerable acreage of reliable and interesting classi- | This means, altogether, two or three fruitful pages for every day in the year. | While there are other almanacs ¢ fied advertisements. id calendars innumerable, and practically all alike, there is no book or collection of books comparable | to the World Almanac, a “best seller” that renews its popularity with each succeeding birthday anniversary, It is of the kind Wordsworth | had in mind when he wrote: | Phe books we know | Are a substantial WORLD, both pure and good: Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood Our interests and our happiness will grow. It is not necessary here to string out the ten-page table of con- | tents with reference to the thousand and one facts, references, records and statistical sammaries which readers can always rely upon finding | in the World Almanac. Everything is there, from A to Z—aviation, baseball, churches, debts of the nations, education, finance, geography, the Hall of Fame, industries, the judiciary, Kansas and Kentucky lection returns, labor legislation, the militia, the Navy, ocean steam- ships, Panama, qualifications f and Territorial governments valuation of assessed | property in the United States, woman suffrage, X-dollar gold-piece | coinage, yachting, the Zo, ete. | Special articles by authorities on their respective topics have | always been a valuable feature of the World Almanac. Among the contributions of this nature in the | present issue are the reviews of scientific progress and geograph- ival research in 1910; “Music in 4909-10," embodying a complete record of operatic productions in Ameriea and Europe, up to the date of going to y view of “The Stage in Now City” during the same “Literature,” elaborately classified in four and a half pages, and a comprehensive outlook upon “Art Progress in the United States.” The Rhodes Oxford ships and the Nobel prizes are fully set forth. The National Academy of Design, the Forty fiu- mortals of the French Academy, the Dickens Fellowship and ev that nebulous galaxy, the “American Academy of Arts and Letter are among those present. A list of the Popes of Rome has been added to the already very full department of e& mation.
