Interesting Books
on Journalism
at State Library

The State House Library has just
acquired four books OF unusual In
terest, especially to the newspaper
man. The first Deadlines, was writ
ten by Henry Justin Smith, Pro-
fessor Atwood of Cornell University
is the author of the second, The
Country Newspaper and the third,
The Community Newspaper is from
the pen of Harris. This book is
much out OF the ordinary run of
newspaper treatises and gives a
clear and vivid description Of how.
what and when a small community
newspaper must act In various oc-
casions. 1t also gives in concise
manner a description OF ways a small
newspaper may build up Its sub
scription through the handling or Its
news and at the same time increase
its advertising capacity.
The fourth of the books, The
Newspaper and the Historian, is the
most instructive and helpful OF all
however, and it treats its subject
in an interesting manner. making II
seem more like q novel tnan a VOL
ume of dry statistics, though at the
same time all that is necessary of
| the latter is there. This book traces
/ the history of the carrying and
! learning news from the old Greek
WAYS to the Roman journal and there
on down to the present time with its
developed methods of obtaining news
of great Importance. so accurate
| that a few hours after any great
i crises the information has been
/ spread world wide.
In the first chapters are interest
! ing descriptions of the old colonial
/ DAYS when news was obtained on
! the Southern plantations through
travellers who happened to stop ruI
the night in the secluded wilderness
regions, and this is accorded one or
the reasons for the greater hospital
ity shown in the early days to wan
derers. Other chapters discuss
names Of newspapers. showing tnac
the majority of them derive their
names from some branch Of nature,
such as the Star, Sun or Planet.
others take their names from some
military term. as Sentinel, Watch
man. while still others conform to
olden history, taking the names of
old Greek gods and goddesses to
spread their news beneath.
Later on we find advice TO Journal
lists, general reporters and special
correspondents, with many methods
of the modern newspaperman's ways
of getting the stories disclosed for
those who wish to make name for
themselves in the world Of the press.
