Things Journalists" Learn.

Through the medium of the Fourth
Estate information is disseminated
that the school of journalism attached
TO the University of Kansas graduates
five students this year This is en-
couraging. as indicating that five
young men. knowing something Of the
fundamentals of the English language,
are about to learn a precaTious and
exacting profession in the best school
of all-the school OF experience. But
we are told the Kansas students have
become college Journalists" and that
these are among the questions they
had to answer in the course of the
final examination:
Give six expressions that should not
be used in n newspaper.
Write a 80 word telegram TO the Chi
cago Herald telling of an accident.
Make it exactly as you would file at
the Office.
In a local news story what comes
first? Why? Give example.
In an interview what comes first?
Give example.
In an editorial what comes first?
Give example.
Name four principal divisions of a
paper in order of their Importance TO
the reader.
What are the three divisions of an
editorial?
What are the principal sub-editors of
city paper?
What constitutes perfect headline?
Write three-story head to put over
death of a prominent man.
Write same for wedding of a prOmi-
nent couple.
Write the opening of an interview.
What things go to make up good in
terview?
Write an editorial paragraph on the
second district primary result.
One on April FOOLS day.
This is an array to startle mere
newspaper man. surely. Take ''six eX-
pressions that should not be used in a
newspaper" Why not six thousand?
Concerning what comes first in a
local news story" what does? Is the
same thing always TO come first, or
is there to be variety in the style? And
it ought to be particularly easy to tell
why
AS to writing an editorial on April
Fools day." that should be the very
easiest thing for the average incipient
journalist to perform.
1t appears the students in the Kan
sas State University School of Jour
nalism are being taught that journal
ism is conducted by rule. All TINS, as
an esteemed contemporary observes
they will have to unlearn, and that rs
thing to be regretted.
