Progress Magazine, The. This is one of the transformations of Eternal Progress (q.v.). The name was changed, Larson later complained, because "first-class advertisers" would not advertise in what appeared to be a New Thought magazine. To attract a more general audience (as well as "first-class advertisers"), the journal offered novelettes, articles on "Wireless Telegraphy, and the Aeroplane," "Halley's Comet," "Novels that Have Made Authors Rich," and the like, and an extensive a children's page ("Our Boys and Girls," Conducted by Uncle Booker) and book reviews on topics of general interest. Contributions by Larson ("Your Forces and How to Use them"), |

Progress Magazine is a New Thought periodical of the success and mental-science kind. Its vocabulary is emphatically New Thought — success, the subconscious, 'new thought,' demonstration, abundance and prosperity — carried in a reform-optimist editorial voice that promises a 'revolution in laws, methods, and opinions.' Autosuggestion is its working method and the subconscious its favorite subject, placing it in the psychological, mind-power wing of the movement. Panel signals toward spiritualism and phrenology are the familiar shared-vocabulary traps ('control' as self-control, 'faculties' as philosophical), not evidence of séance or cranial content. It reads as a general-interest self-help magazine of the New Thought success literature. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
