tiaIs.
THE language of the newspaper. is
the language of the cracker barrel .
said Dean Joseph French Johnson OF
the New York University School of
Commerce. Accounts and Finance,
last night, in outlining to his students
in Journalism what they were to keep
in mind in their training. According
to him the essence of newspaper is
to be found in the gossip that centers
about the stove and the cracker bar
rel of country store.
In his discussion Dean Johnson JUS
titled the position of department of
Journalism in a school of commerce by
showing that the newspaper of today
is commercial enterprise rather than
a literary venture. ~ fstx
THE gift OF writing is the least i'm
portant in newspaper work, said Dean
Johnson. 1.-THE success of a news
paper depends upon its satisfying
three prime instincts of human ma
ture: The contest instinct, the sex
instinct and the humorous instinct"
Dean Johnson's talk was the open
ing one to be given in series of lee
lures on newspaper making by men
who have won distinction in that field
of work The work is to be contin-
ued next week by julius Chambers,

A tuneful comedy was the Howard

the Columbia theater last Saturday
night Like most plays of this kind,
the plot was merely an excuse to get

to represent a rehearsal of play be.

Consequently in wars of the future, fleets of flying

1t may come that every country town must have its
battery of field guns supplied with shrapne and canister,
as has its fire brigade while possibly every able
bodied man. invalid, and cripple will be provided with
side arms and rifle in the old pioneer days they
armed to meet the menace of the Indian. The flying
machine will make the immediate local concern of all
citizens of the United States to prepare for aerial

in our next war they will be permitted to sit
