" $ lifr iSii li 8l T1. tfti Magazine of a RgmadeV(forld THE history of civilization affords innumer able illustrations of the power of fiction to direct the thought, and conduct of men and women. Our own country, within a relatively brief period, presents two conspicuous examples of fiction's force. The Puritan heritage of intol erance was righteously destroyed by Nathaniel Hawthorne, through a single story. Later, in a period of civil strife, our fires of patriotism were fanned into a blaze by Edward Everett Hale, in a story. Just as fiction has swayed the human heart, so has it been a tremendous stimulus to achieve ment in science and invention. The submarine of our day was anticipated fifty years ago by Jules Verne in his story "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea." ' The astonishing adventures in aviation that are thrilling the world today were clairvoyanfly prophesied by H G.Wells aquarter of a century ago in his story "The War of the Worlds." The device of underwater communication that safeguarded the lives of our boys on the high seas was first projected by Morgan Robertson fifteen years ago in a story. Indeed, the records of human discovery, when studied with the history of literature, establish incontroverribly the fact that the realities of tomorrow are first projected in the fiction of today The dean of American letters, William Dean Howells, expresses tHs thought perfectly in his, book "Literature and Life," where he says: "The short story, when it is ranged with others of its species within the covers of a magazine, is above all other literary forms the vehicle of reality and spirituality." In THE Red BOOK MAGAZINE'S presentation, fiction achieves its maximurh effectiveness as a vital influence upon economic, social and scientific conditions. It reflects the needs of the living day. It visions all that the future may hold.
