The High School Edition
OF the Springfield Herald

In. its first issue in April the
Herald is going to put on some.
thing unique in ru.al journal.
ism, and is taking this early op.
portunity of making the an.
nouncement.
The first issue in April comes
on the sixth of that month. On
thatdate the Herald will be wholly
turned over to the seventh. eighth,
ninth, and tenth grades of the
high-school department of the
Spring field school.
In ether words, that issue of
the Springfield Herald will be
their paper-even down to the
local items of news. In said is
issue not only the ediSor will
stand aside, but our correspond.
ents will take lay off for that
week.
Not only will the high-school
pupils write all the matter for
their issue of the Herald, but
they will read their own proofs
JUST as if they we're the sole
owners and publishers.
The Herald force will do the
mechanical work-type setting
end type correcting; the latter as
indicated by the proofs as read
ard marked by the pupils them
selves.
The pubils will select their ed
itor and associate editors, and
the other pupils will be staff cor
respondenden;s and reporters
Staff correspondents always sign
their names, while reporters
don't need to.
Humorous matter may be
played on as the pupils desire,
but of course all personal refer
ences and other objectionable
matter will be barred, the same
as in any other iss-e of the pa
per.
Special copies of the edition
will be five cents, six for a quar-
ter. Those wanting extra cop
les will have to order and pay
for them iii advance, as other
wise only the regular edition of
near 900 will be run off.
We should think that at least
one or two hundred would be
wanted. Send in your orders
early.
