Why don't you take the other tack

Newspapers in Public Schools.
by John ID, HARRY,


The agitation for the introduction OF news
papers into public schools ought to be encouraged.
1t should be noted, however, that the plan is no
great innovation. Already in many schools where
there are progressive teachers, passages from
newspapers are read aloud and discussed. In
this way pupils are trained to take an interest
in public events. They are also taught how to
read newspapers. For wholesome newspaper read
ing is something of an art.
We all know people who don't really know
how to read newspapers There those who
read chiefly for the sensational gossip. Many
women would never read newspapers at all IT
there were no murders published or news Of
sensational character. Others, chiefly nien,
read for the sports. Then there those who
read for the sake of cleaning the items in the
society columns. l used to know poor old
woman in New York City who one of the
greatest living authorities on the subject of
American arstocracy." All her information about
the Astors and the Vanderbilts and the people
Of that kind she had gathered from her news
paper reading. 1t provided her daily romance.
Many newspaper readers would be far better
off if they never a newspaper. Not that
the newspapers are so bad. 1t is simply that the
readers carefully pick out what is either unwhole
some Of no account.
There are comparatively few persons who read
the newspapers with anything like system, or with
a view to real profit.

hope that newspaper reading will become
universal in schools 1t will teach young people
how to CLEAN from a newspaper and how to es-
tabhsh in their minds the continuity that lies in
the very nature of news. 1t will help to make
geography live subject. 1t will make the pupils
realize that in the countries so remote as to seem
almost unreal human life is going on just as it
goes on at home, with the same inexorabe moral
law at work underneath.
Best OF all, systematic newspaper reading will
train school children to make exactions of news
papers. 1t will tend to develop more ntelIi-
gent. and more discriminating reading public
When newspapers are brought into the schools
1t Will be interesting to see which newspapers
are read and which newspapers are not read 1t
Will become credit for newspaper to be placed
IN the hands OF the pupils and discredit for the
newspaper to be rejected from the schools
There will surely be no room in schools for
those newspapers that devote many columns of
space to scandal mongering. But there will be
plenty OF room for those newspapers that strive
to present with truth and accuracy the vital news
Of the world
The Washington herald., 1916-05-15

Sometimes it seems to me that people get
their chief comfort in newspaper reading from
criticsing newspapers. Most of the people I
know take great pleasure in this practice. They
speak as if they could run newspapers much
better than any newspaper ever run AS
rule by the way, they are among the most
voracious of all newspaper readers.
If newspapers not inexpensive, if the
reading not so widespread, we should all,
l think, be far more impressed than are now
by the marvel of newspapers. For newspapers
are among the greatest marvels of the world.
They illustrate imperfecty, it is true but clearly
what wonders be performed by co-opera-
ton
Newspapers essentially cooperative inst-
tutions. They stand for the cooperation of the
whole world in reflecting itself for the instruc-
ton and the entertainment of mankind.
There few things in life more entertain
ing than the news the real news, the vital hap
penings of the day all the world over If we
could secure reports OF these happenings just as
they occurred, and if we could realize these hap
penlngs in all their bearings, we should find them
far more interesting than the latest trivial or
salacious gossip.
1t is because the news is so seldom adequately
presented that it is not nearly so interesting as
it ought to be.
We should remember that no matter how
dlsJointed or broken the news may seem to be,
it never is in truth, either broken or disiointed
Nothing ever happens without a cause behind it
or a long chain OF causes. The sensational news
that seems to US inexplicable the news that we
call revolutionary, is long time preparing More
over, sensational event seldom occurs without
being prophesied. We look back and recall that
this man or that man uttered a warning.
