HOW TO MAKE NEWSPAPERS.

There are a great many readers who are
quite sure that the editors don't know how
to do it. If these sagacious and critical
readers could only do the editing, how many
blunders and libel suits would be avoided,
how many able articles would be written,
how many shining little hatchets would be
ground, The newspapers, which these criti-
cal readers are constantly seeking to edit
are like old bachelors children-the best
governed and the best behaved in the world.
But Texas school boy has visited Gal
weston office and found out chow to make
newspapers" Here is his composition, read
before the school after his return:
"The head men sit down to their desks
and write on square pieces of paper what
to print in the paper. They put them in a
box and send them up stairs. When they
get up stairs a man takes them and gives a
lot OF other men every one piece of this

A LITTLE MORE PLAY,

The following interesting and very sensi
BILE article is contributed TO the Pennsylva
MIA Sch0ol .7ournal. by William T. Seal,
principal of Bellevue Seminary, at Attic
boIough, Bucks county, Pa:
"What profit hath he that worketh in
that wherein he laboreth.'' solomon was
wise man. Wiser, think, than many
of us who are engaged in teaching, not
wthstanding we have the benefit of all the
wisdom that has been cleaned for us down
the stream of time. We have not learned,
| fear that all great works are quite as
much the play of the artist as the conscious
labors Of his hands; that they are impul-
sions not voitons. We hear great deal
about what effort may do, what it has done,
and we are too apt, | fear, to attribute the
failures of some of our pupils to a want of
effort, and the successes of others to labor.
The secret of the successes and failures lies
deeper think. Thoughts cannot be forced
into existence. No mere effort of the W II
can evolve thought. Mature minds car
not do it. We should not expect childr,n
to do it, Philosophers acknowledge how
impotent the trained mind is to hold Itself
to a particular subject of thought without
an excitant. would not advocate the doc
trine that thoughts are caused by some
thing without the mind, but do not hold
that the spirit is the only cause for the
thought in the occasion, and that the occ l.
Sin ho riv haf
any thought. What may be an occasion
for mature mind, is not for child.
No one, perhaps, objects very much to
work. No one ever accomplishes any thing
great without it, But no one has much
love for labor, toll, drudgery. This is the
rock upon which SO many hopes have been
wrecked. Our great men have worked as
no drudge could or would, but there has
been an ease and ioyousness about their
work that made it akin to play. The truth
is, none of us grown people love toll, and
why should We expect children to take
kindly to 1t? Nearly every school has its
successful pupils, all have their successful
ones. Why is it so? Why are they success
full? 8 Because they work." replies some
one. I grant it. But why do they work
| ask. Because the play impulse has, in
some way, got possession of them. 1t may
b., that possessing good minds, they can
easily master their studies, see their beau
ties, truths and that they are making good
progress; consequently not only is there no
toll in their work, but there is also no in
terest, an impulse that their less fortunate
companions cannot have.

Reporting is the best school in the world to
get knowledge of human beings, human
nature and human ways. A nice, gentle,
manly reporter-I make no differences-is
well treated by everybody. just think of
the wide range of his acquaintanceship, his
experience of life and society. No other
occupation brings man into such familiar
social relations with all the grades and
classes of people. The last thing at night

items among the police and jail birds in
the lookup, questioning the prisoners and
making pleasant and lasting friendship
among some of the worst people in the
world. And the very next evening he gets
himself up regardless of expense, puts on
all the good clothes his friends have got,
goes and takes dinner with the governor
or commander in chief of the district, the
United States Senator, and some of the
upper crust of society. He is on good
terms with all of them, and is present at
every gathering, and has easy access 10
every variety of people. Why, break
