The Commonweal, subtitled "a weekly journal of national reform," was edited by Annie Besant. This is its policy as stated by the editor:
We would fain be the voice of the dumb, the defender of the oppressed, the reformer of evil, the upholder of righteousness. It is a great ambition; but "it is better to try nobly and to fail, than ignobly not to try at all."[1]
Supplements were issued bi-monthly, including such topics as these:
- Co-operation and Agriculture
- Sanitation and Medical Relief
- Education
- Social Reform
- Industries and Trade
Subscriptions cost Rs. 6 per year, and the periodical was printed at the Theosophical Publishing House in Adyar, Madras, India.
