Boston Monitor

In but not of Boston since 1908 has been one of the world's great newspapers, the Christian Science Monitor. Because it tries to be "An International Newspaper," intelligent Bostonians who wanted the Monitor's national and foreign coverage have had either to go without most local news or buy another paper. Two years ago the Monitor began printing a daily column of Boston items. Since then local circulation has jumped from 12,405 to 15,480.

Last week Boston & New England readers got a whole new section of their own. Local news is briefly reviewed in a six-column, half-page box, dressed up with ordinary and candid photographs, flanked by two longer stories. Other features: weather, radio, finance, amusement, political doings ("Up & Down Beacon Hill"). Space remains for what has always been a vexing Monitor problem: local advertising.
