The Newspaper Man

We who labor in the newspaper
field sometimes feel that our life is
just a grind. with little variation, but
just about the time we have become
little discontinued we hear someone
say a good word for our kind and that
makes us sit up and work all the har.
der. For instance, Dr. Maurice Egg.
an. United States Minister to Copen.
hagen. recently said a few very res
pectable things about the newspaper
man. to wit:
When | want private secretary |
get newspaper man. Always it has
been my conviction that newspaper
work is the best training in the world
for men who expect to go into bust
ness for the broader walks OF life
No other profession gives a man such
broad view of life He is able TO
look at things from an angle unob.
tainable by anyone else. and despite
the wide range he has to cover |
find him at the same time a master
OF detail
There's a reason for IL, too. A
good newspaper man knows his sub
iect before he writes about IL. He
has little time 10 spend In studying
II; he must have the ability to get to
the real situation without spending
hours on It, Unconsciously he trains
himself to grasp the details and re-
member them. "-Morrisville News
