NEWSPAPERS AS TEXT BOOKS.

The Superintendent of the Kansas
Public Schools has introduced news
papers in the schools Of that State as
text books, and if they are the proper
kind Of newspapers. as, no doubt, they
are. 1t will prove a beneflt. The Post
of Washington, says 1t is not n bad idea
and cites the fact that the teachers of
the schools in that city invite their
pupils to discuss the topics of the day
as gathered from the press, and the re-
suit has been most satisfactory.
Our contemporary, writing ,u sup
port of the idea, takes the ground that
If the newspapers introduced are not
merely local, but whose news and editor
ial columns arc filed with legitimate
and instructive matter they are bound
to be 4 benefit.
Continuing. the Post has this to say
about the matter:
1T may be said that newspapers
do mot always print every detail OF
the truth and that sometimes they
are guilty of absolute mendacity.
So II may be said OF histories, that
they are not always Il correct or an
and events which they profess to
chronicle. AS to bald and malicious
mcndacity in newspapers, 1t can be
said that its rare occurrence only
proves the rule OF general fidelity
To truth. The really successful news
paper of to-day cannot survive UNI
less 1t Is as near as careful editing
and faithful reporting can make it,
AN actual record OF daily events
~ newspaper is published as q bust
ness venture, and it can no more
succeed by daily fraud upon the pub
lie than n grocer can build up a
rcmunerative trade by dealing in
adultcratcd goods. 1t Is the pride
of every paper of any standing
whatever that its assertions can be
relied upon. The editor who de-
liberately misrepresents is nowadays
the exception. Even II he were not
influenced by the higher principles =
of morality he would soon find his
Influence waning and his circulation
decreasing If he held not to the
principle that truth telling is the
best policy
This is all very true, and the news
parer which pcrsucs 4 contrary course
will soon find It's influence and along
with 1t its living gone beyond reclaim.

The Galveston News waxes elo- quent when referring to the pro- duction of Texas. It says: The "grand old state of Texas will give to each inhabitant one bale of cot ton, six bushels of wheat, forty bushels of corn," etc. The News should qualify it's assertion to com port with fact. Texas could give to each inhabitant all the necessary things enumerated, but the fact is not one in a thousand gets his share.
