h reporting of SD important n

word of appreciation of hat body Of
men to whom the credit is due may
not be amiss.
1t is upon the reporter that the Sue
cess of every newspaper necessarily
rests. No only is the correctness OF
every news item dependent upon HIS
accuracy and intelligence, but every
editorial comment, every policy which
his paper adopts and every fight 1t
makes is based upon h news as the
maj on the outside reports it. IL he
reports ii Incorrectly or i~nadeouate-
~. his paper fails in It's function of
giving to the world the news of the
day, the editorials are valueless or mis-
leading because not based upon facts.
and a journalistic policy or stand may
be. utterly wrong or unjust.
These results follow in the steps Of

bility rests. 1T is a responsibility upon
the proper and honest exercise of which
depends not only the life of the pa-.
per. but also h just deserts of men
and their standing before the world.
And 1T is a responsibility which those
with no hope Of public credit for their
work. because their personality is
merged into that of the paper they
serve.
The reporters task must be dis
charged with little chance for review
or correction. 1t must be done right
the first time. He must see correctly
the issue of a lawsuit through the tech
niGalities of the trial. He must think
clearly through the excitement Of po-
lttical or Legislative debate. He must
extract the thing OF human interest
from technical discussions by learned
men. Above everything else he must
be wherever the event Of public inter
est is happening, and he must be there
on time to see 1t happen.
When we consider the tremendous
pressure under which the news must
be gathered. and the quickness, hon

shown in reporting events ranRinr
from q small personal item to some
episode of worldwide Importance: the
insight which is needed to 60 straight

THE KIDDIEs' o

When children are getting fitted for
shoes. have the salesman start with a
size which he knows is too large and
then work down to the right size.
The usual way is to do just the op-
posite. with the result that shoes
which the children declared were "all
right" while in the store are found to
be toe small at home. The reason is
that whens too lpnal size IL tried ON
first the shoe hat is only a little larR-
err feels comfortable, by contrast.
though it may not be the proper size.
