add to these the large number which had their
origin since 1888, the list of newspaper NOR
tally would be swelled to extensive propor-
tons. How many newspapers die young
The pathway of country journalism is thickly
strewn with the wrecks of enterprises, whose
projectors had the ambition to emulate the ex-
ample of such men as Greedy, Dana and Weed
1t is very eacy matter to start newspaper,
but when we study the history of journalism
in this or any other State, we find that not
only pluck, self denial and endurance but
peculiar adaptability for the work are neces-
sary for the successful establishment of any
journal. Time, patience and perseverance will
accomplish all things and to these requisites
may be added ability and money, though it is
remarkable fact that many Of the most sue
eessful public journals of the country were
started without capital. Some of the notable
examples are the New York Herald, the Trib :
une and the Sun. The Philadelphia Ledger
was founded by three working men, whose
capital consisted of their intelligence and in-
dustry. The Springfield Republican, one OF
the most successful newspapers of the country
was built up from an obscure weekly by the
patient industry and mastery ability of Mr.
Bowles. These are by no means the only in
stances of the enterprising and self reliant
spirit of American journalism.
The best school of journalism is the print
ing Office and the young man who has acquired
good common school education and has been
graduated from regular printing establish

has the other requisites, but man may be
highly educated and still be ignorant of what
relates to the business and editorial functions
OF newspaper, which are of the most import
anee. There must be discrimination between
trained writers and trained editors even IN a
country newspaper Office. "a journalist can
not be made to order" Good, strong common
sense is what newspaper most REQUIRES, and
this requisite is often lacking in persons who
are very capable in literary point of view.
