We sometimes receive inquiries from the Field as to the desirability of including noncurrent copies of The Christian Science Monitor in literature distribution boxes. Each branch church and society must of course determine the answer which is best designed to meet local conditions. In the Boston area, The Mother Church does not place Monitors in its boxes.
Daily printing in Los Angeles and London, as well as in Boston, and improved delivery make copies of the Monitor available on the date of publication, or shortly after, in many large cities. Honor racks and newsstand sales at locations of heavy traffic, such as bus stations, street railway and bus stops, hotels, schools, colleges, etc., help the public to understand that the Monitor is a newspaper they need every day as a source of information not otherwise obtainable.
Noncurrent copies of the Monitor can be profitably distributed to ships through harbor committees, to seamen's clubs, and other public institutions, such as hospitals, prisons, schools, and in other ways.
