Taking Down Signs

Taking Down Signs
State highway police are busy
throughout the county tearing down
the roadside signs and advertising
posters. The law which was passed
by the S2nd Legislature, known as
the anti-billboard law, says that no
billboard or poster shall be within
the limits of the highway, and the
Maine highways are 6 feet. Many
of the merchants have simply moved
their signs back. This, however,
does not seem to be the proper at
titude for law abiding person AL
though they are within their rights
1t is simply getting by by the skin
of ones teeth. 1t is hoped that to
make Maine more slightly every
merchant will move his signs away
entirely from the roadside and in
cases where the merchant persists
in posting such signs it is hoped
that the land owners of the county
Will not allow their lands to be used
as an advertising medium.

mergers and purchases were prim-
arily the result of the prophetic
genius and immediate executive
force of Hugo SHINES predicated up
on just one all-essential condition
to wit, the decline of the mark.
During the period of imitation the
magnate kept himself and his COM
panies at all times one long step
ahead of the actual course of the
mark depreciation, and consequent
ly, he was always free OF active
financial embarrassment. Often he
did not really pay for properties at
the time of purchase, but post
poned payment until the next fall OF
the mark would make the real price
a fraction of its former size. In
short, he courted debt and by debt
prospered. But when the gold basis
was restored, and business was re-
established upon hard workaday
lines, the jig was up. Maturing
obligations could not be met at
anything less than their full econ
omic value, and thus the SHINES
heirs have found themselves short
Of working capital, with embarrass-
ments multiplying at an alarming
rate.
Today bankers in Boston who fol-
low German Industrial affairs find
their curiosity conferred chiefly on
the question, How far will the
liquidation go, and how great will be
the shrinkage?" The essential aim
of those responsible for the estate
is believed to be to dispose first Of
the heterogeneous properties. They
hope to reduce the estate to as much
compactness and unity as possible,
bringing it back, II they can, to the
principles upon which SHINES first
built at the outset of his career; to
wit, a combination only of inter-
dependent industries. such as the
coal mines and steel mills. And to
this end it is said in Berlin that the
capital now provided by American
financiers is helpful protection,
supplying funds urgently needed to
precent a general break. But even
so, it seems still more significant
that the American syndicate has not
bought any of the remote subsidiar-
les, but rather one of the basic and
most important properties, the
Deutsche- Luxemburgische mines.
The transfer of such an equity as
this suggests ultimate financial and
economic consequences of an inter-
national character almost as strik-
ing as the change of the SHINES
fortune within Germany itself. But
the time is not yet come for
prophecy.

study in a college or university, in
GLIDING such subjects as history,
economics, government and politics,
sociology, literature, natural science,
and psychology or philosophy. Not
merely acquisition of knowledge.
but encouragement to Independent
thinking and fearless search for
truth should be the purpose Of all
courses in preparation for the pro-
fession Of journalism. Instruction
in all subjects in the curriculum
should be vitalized by research and
contact with current developments,
on the part Of instructors.
Preparation for journalism should
also include instruction and practice
in journalistic technic. and con-
sideration Of the responsibility OF
the journalist to society. All in
struction in journalism should be
based on a recognition Of the func-
ton Of the newspaper and other
publications in society and govern
ment, and should not be concerned
merely with developing proficiency
in journalistic technic. The aims
and methods of instruction should
not be those of a trade school, but
should be of the same standard as
those of other professional schools
and colleges.
"Since liberal education is rec
ognized as essential for the journal
list, the amount Of instruction in
journalistic technic should not con-
stitute SO large a part Of the four
year course as to exclude courses in
other essential subjects. Although
courses in the technic of journalism
will naturally be concentrated in the
last two years of the four-year
course, students in these years
should also have the opportunity to
pursue advanced work in such sub
jects as economics, government and
politics, history and literature"

1t is common knowledge that of
all the elements in European society
none was so hard hit by the war as
were the middle classes. In Russia
they have been virtually DESTROYED,
in Central Europe they are wither-
ing away, In western Europe they
are staggering under crushing bur-
dens.
What Of the future?" asks 10th
rop Stoddard in the August Century.
Will they, slowly recover their
former prosperity and importance,
or are they destined to sink still
further in the social scale? Indeed.
their fate is bound up with that of
Europe's industrial and social life.
If European industry avoids COL
lapse and the social order escapes
communism, some sort of middle
class will survive, its size and status
depending upon the degree of in
dustrial prosperity and social
stability. BY collective action the
middle classes can of course do
much to improve their lot, though
in the long run their efforts, like
those of any group, cannot success
fully defy those deep-lying forces
which determine the general trend
Of the age.
Although, taken as a whole, a
middle class will almost certainly
survive as an important element in
European society, various portions
OF the present middle classes may
be destined to quite diverse fortunes.
The industrial, commercial, ana
technical professional sections of the
middle classes are recovering from
the postwar crisis, and with the
stabilizaztion of currencies and BUSH
ness conditions they may be ex-
pected to do fairly well. On the
other hand. the learned professions
and the literary and artistic callings,
in short. the 'intellectuals," are still
very hard hit. with future prospects
that are far from bright. There can
be no doubt that all over Europe the

EDUCATION FOR JOURNALISM

Win the growing interest among
young men and women in journal
ism as career and the increasing
number Of schools and departments
Of journalism, more attention is
being paid to the question as to the
education from which newspaper
workers may gain the greatest ad-
vantage.
Whether general college course
as an equipage is preferable to the
specialized courses given in schools
Of journalism. is a debatable ques-
ton, although it is generally con-
ceded that journalist should have
a wide range of knowledge in order
that he will not be "misfit' in any
position he may fill while advancing
in his profession.
In this connection, it is Of interest
to read the principles and Stand
ards Of Education for. Journalism"
which were recently formulated by
the Council of Education for
Journalism and adopted by the
American Association of Teachers of
Journalism and the Association of
American Schools and Depart
ments of Journalism. The follow
ing paragraphs from the statement
of General Principles" should be
brought to the attention of those
planning to enter the profession:
Because of the importance Of
newspapers and periodicals to
society and government, adequate
preparation is as necessary for all
persons who desire to engage in
journalism as it is for those who
intend to practice law or medicine.
No other profession has a more vital
relation to the welfare Of society
and to the success of democratic
government than has Journalism.
No other profession requires wider
range Of knowledge or greater
ability to apply such knowledge to
current events and problems than
does journalism. Adequate prep
aration for journalism, therefore
must be sufficiently broad in scope
to familiarize the future journalist
with the important fields of knowl-
edge. and sufficiently practical to
show the application of the knowl-
edge to the practice of journalism.
Under present conditions the best
means OF acquiring this essential
knowledge and Of learning its ap-
Phcetion Is q four-years' course of

PUBLISHER GANNETT'S NEW
PURCHASE

Announcement of the sale OF the
Portland Evening Express and the
Sunday Telegram by Col. Fred N.
Dow and Mr.. William H. Dow to
Mr.. Guy P. Gannett of Augusta, pub
Usher of the Portland Press Herald
and the waterville Sentinel, appears
as evidence of Mr.. Gannett's desire
to increase the service Of the two
daily papers printed at Portland.
ut is a splendid move on the part
Of Mr.. Gannett," was the phrase
used by several Of his friends in
Augusta upon learning Of the bust
ness transaction. The placing Of the
two Portland papers under one own
srship and Management and the con-
solidation Of the Sunday Press Her
aid and the Sunday Telegram will
doubtless prove means of broad
ening the circulation and advertising
field of these papers, increasing
newspaper efficiency through coop
Grafton, and with this there will be
economies effected by moving the
plant Of the Evening Express and
Sunday Telegram to the Press Her
aid building.
While Augusta friends are con-
graduating Mr.. Gannett upon his
new acquisition in the newspaper
field, they are sorry to learn that he
and Mrs. Gannett will make Port
land their permanent home. Mr..
Gannett has been one Of Augustus
most public spirited citizens, always
ready and willing to give Of his time,
energy and enterprise to aid in any
movement for civic betterment. His
work to promote the Augusta-Y. M.
c. A., and his enterprise in the pro-
ject Of the reconstruction Of old
Fort Western illustrate his loyalty
to the city and his desire to improve
It,
Mr.. Gannett is a firm believer in
booming Maine and has been prom
inently idetifled with the Maine De-
velopment Association, the Maine
Automobile Association and the
State.Chamber Of Commerce. He has
recently been appointed Names
representative in the New England
publicity movement. He has been
active in politics and is widely and
favorably known in the newspaper
field.
Mrs. Gannett Is a leading figure
in the social life Of the city and
State and has made study Of poll
tics, having perhaps keener insight
into the political situation in the
State from woman's standpoint
than any other Maine woman.

intellectuals are today decreasing in
numbers, owing to high death
rate, a low birth-rate, and a falling
off of recruits from other social
strata. The effects of this retro
grade process upon the future
culture and civilization of Europe
are so important that they merit
our most serious attention. The
decline of the intellectuals is per-
haps the most discouraging symptom
of post war Europe, materially con-
valescent, yet so absorbed with the
struggle for material recovery that
it has little time for or interest in,
the finer things of the mind and the
spirit.
