The Polar Star Society is the name a newly organized literary society has adopted. Even people outside Chicago are entitled to join the society; its main purpose is to translate books of prominent Swedish authors into English. Among those whose works are going to see the light of day in English dress are King Oscar II, Viktor Rydberg, August Strindberg, Gustav av Geijerstam, Alfred Hedenstierna (Sigurd), Henrik Wraner, and others.

Nineteen works are already translated, ready for the printing press. Mr. Andrew Schon is president of the society and Albert Alberg, well known author and translator is secretary.
