Newspapers a world force
for good or. evil?
~>~*
An announcement from Golfers

You breathe newspapers. Every
day you take into your system their state
ments, their opinions. their pictures of life
You are largely formed by them. On the
other hand, you help to create them.
Your habits, your tastes, your wishes, de-
termine their course. How much do you
know about them? Practically nothing.
GOLFERS believes that the public ought
to be in closer touch with these sources Of
opinion and power. We have decided,
therefore, to make the great feature of
Golfers, all through 1911. series Of
articles on the newspaper as one Of the
leading forces in modern society.
We shall give the history Of the news
paper; show why free government could
not exist without it describe the value of
yellow journalism, and its harm. We
shall answer such questions as ''What is
News?" We shall explain the forces
which newspaper is compelled to face,
including the financier, the advertiser, and
the general reader. Part of the series will
be written by experts from the inside.
Part will present the views of outsiders.
We shall take up journalism in various
specific places. Residents of Boston,
San Francisco, Charleston, Chicago, and
manv other towns and cities, will not only
learn new things about their newspapers,
but will tell us what they think about them.

1t would be easy to "muckrake"
American journalism take an instance
here, defect there, and by massing detri-
mental truths present picture Of press
untrue to it's ancient tribunate Of the

GOLFERS has avoided that We
have tried to take the broad view Of jour-
nalism, the virtues with the defects.
The series is intense with interest
holds you by its humor and drama. For
we are dealing with the most romantic
calling of modern times. Stories of the
crises in journalism; glimpses of great
characters hidden from the public view in
the anonymity (which clouds the profes-
sion; intimate discussion of the failings
and strengths of individual American
newspapers perhaps your own paper
make these articles as interesting as they
are important.
1t is many-sided subject, entertaining,
vital We have taken such precautions
to cover it fully that the American people
at the end of 1911 will understand the
press better than they understand it
to-day. They will read it more intelli-
gently. They will control it more
ehectually.

NEW RAP At UNION SEMINARY.


PrTrsBuRo. April 22.-Action to pro-
hibit any candidate from the Union Theo-
logical Seminary. New York. from being
admitted to the Presbyterian ministry
10 expected when . report adopted at the
closing session Of the national executive
committee Of the denomination to-day
is presented to the general assembly
at it's meeting in Atlantic City next month.
The report aays that Ave presbyteries
have openly violated the ban put on the
institution some years ago by the general
assembly In not discoura sing and pro-
hibiting students they licensed from
pursuing their studies there.
The laxity of these bodies in regard
to the rule of the Assembly dealing with
this seminary ia expected to draw severe
reprmand and also to be the basis OF MAX
ing the rules concerning that institution
more stringent.
When asked which Presbyteries had
been disobedient members Of the COM
mittee we're enon-committal. but it is known
that New York Presbytery is one Of them
and that protest will be lodged with the
assembly against the action Of that body
in recently licensing two students OF the
Union Seminary-W. H. Hood and +. X.
Finecke.
This new move against the Union
Seminary is Of local Importance owing
to the fact that at the meeting OF the
Pittsburg Presbytery last week an over
ture was introduced by the Rev. DR.
William l.. McEwan. pastor Of the Third
Presbyterian Church. this city. accusing
two members of the Union faculty. the
Rev. Dr. Francis Brown. the president
and Prof William Adams Brown, oi
heretical utterances.
II the Pittsburg Presbytery overture ID
sent to the General Assembly after the
special meeting of the Presbytery called
for next Monday for it's consideration
it is universally agreed that il will raise
Q difficult issue.
The Assembly is to meet in Atlantic
City on May ls. and II is expected that
this overture will defeat the Rev. DIR
George Alexander Of New York fol
moderator. as he is moderator Of the New
York Presbytsry. which has oversight o
the Brown and Union seminaries.
