Study Of Newspapers in Schools.
The Louisiana legislature has I'M

compulsory the study of newspapers

II this measure becomes law,
there can be no question but that
it will work for the benefit of

The newspaper of today is not
always conducted on the plane those
responsible for it would decide The
reason for this is found mainly in
the fact that the demand of the
public must be met and that de-
mand is for the ephemeral rather
than for the permanent.
