Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

As the Fall semester for college gets underway in most states and bills stack up after buying new supplies, at least there are some inexpensive apps for iOS and Android that can help ease the load and keep students organized.
While there’s no across-the-board substitute for pricey textbooks (yet), students may find that cheap and even free apps can ease the fiscal burden as well as make many tasks more manageable.
From apps that help find the best sources for research papers to one for better scheduling, here are 8 great back-to-college apps.
This app can actually save money on textbooks because it allows the user to view the full text of more than 7,000 textbooks on an iPhone – for free.
Beware that this service is free up to a point. It makes its money through licensing these e-textbooks to customers. Each rental expires after a certain period, typically about 180 days. On the upside, CourseSmart says these e-books can cost about half as much as their print equivalents.
Cost: Free to try. Textbook prices vary by title.
