For dlle Public Goo1l.

One hears a good deal about the
power of the press, but the fact is
that no newspaper has very much
real power over men or events in
these days unless 1t is known to be
standing sanely and steadfastly for
the welfare of the whole community
and nation. The day of party or
gans is past. Sensational papers APP
,pealing to popular passions cannot
move thoughtful men-the men who
make history The only kind of news
paper that really has tremendous
power in these days is the indepen-
dent. reliable, disinterested journal
of wide circulation, whose columns
are known to stand always for the
general good, for public honesty and
a square deal, whatever happens. An
excellent example of this sort of
Journalism is the Chicago Record
Herald. 1t has the enormous circu-
lation that deservedly goes with the
printing of all the news, but it's
power lies in it's wise, conservative,
independent editorial policy, which
is shaped with one sole end in view
the public good. Its news and
critical columns show the same
spirit,

Announcements have been received
for the commencement exercises of
the state normal school to take place
the second week in June, special
mention being made of the ushering
in of the quarter centennial anniver-
sary. They are now using the beau
tiful new $4,000 building, making
it for the first time in years conven-
lent to take an additional number of
students. Next year they expect to
employ several more teachers, their
increased faculties making it posi-
BILE to do much more and better
work. Special improvements have
been made in the library, laborator-
les, art, musical, and training depart
ments. Former graduates fitting
themselves for principalships or
high school teachers could do no
better than to take the Sixth Year
course, as it fits students for life
