This periodical presents a collection of articles covering various topics in science and social thought, reflecting the intellectual currents of its time. The opening portion introduces concerns about democracy, social reform, and the challenges of modern society, setting a critical tone for the discussions that follow. At the start of this issue, the article "The Real Problems of Democracy" by Franklin Smith critiques contemporary theories about solving democratic challenges through political reforms and public welfare systems. He argues that these issues stem from deeper problems of individual freedom, self-support, and moral government, suggesting that true democracy requires individuals to take responsibility for their own welfare rather than relying on state interventions. Smith emphasizes that overcoming these challenges relies on fostering a society that values self-control and individual integrity, rather than one that seeks to manage and control citizens through legislation and public policy. This opening sets the stage for a thought-provoking exploration of democracy and individual responsibility in a rapidly changing society.
