 Many self made men have obtained the only education they ever have merely from reading the newspapers It Is a common axiom often heard in speeches and seen in the writing of noted educators that the modern newspaper is one of the most, if not the most, important educa- tional factor in the life of the American people, either for good or for bad. There is no denying the fact that much harm has been done by certain newspaper pol icies of printing improper and yellow news. Nevertheless the fact remains thtt many newspapers, by far the major fly of them, educate their readers for the better. They carry features and depart ments that make an appeal to every mem Der of a family, they chronicle the events that some day the readers descendants will study as history, they give advice on matters that concern every man and every woman, they bring the events of the whole world before the public in a true light. showing the tide.of human progress
