These writers are equipped for the
study of international situations.
Many are college men. They are not
concerned with reporting the title
tattle of royalty, like some romantic
novelist, but are trying to discover
the undercurrents of international
events. The Christian Science Moni-.
tor is an example of an enlightened
journalism more interested in ideas
than in incidents. The Chicago Daily
News and the New York Times are
giving much space to reporting events
which do not touch on domestic or
local issues. In this field they are ap-
pealing to a selected clientele rather
than to the majority. This trend is a
sign of the sound interest of news
papers in better world relations"
While most newspapers contain
much that is unwholesome, many of
their articles are of positive worth to
children in the forming of their char
acters, Mr.. Harrington declared.
Newspapers contain stories of inspir-
ing struggles and noteworthy achieve
ment. They sound the note of victory
and it is victory, not defeat, that ap-
peals to young people. They are not
nearly so much interested in scandal
as some of their elders. When you
hear them discussing a newspaper
they have read, what is it they talk
about? First page scandals? Not at
all. 1t is usually football, Arctic ex-
petitions, heroism in real life"
The Newspaper in the Schools
How is a teacher to carry on a
course in newspaper reading? Mr..
Harrington has worked out a success
full technique He would, for example
introduce the newspaper into the Eng
lish class and make it the basis for
lively work in composition. A teach
er may require systematic reading of
weekly reviews. Discussion in class
Of news topics, he has found, arouses
the interest of all and leads to more
general reading. The style of the
newspaper article is worthy of extend
ed study, he added. "There is much
good prose in the newspapers even if
il is hurriedly written" he remarked.
ct is simple, direct, warm with life.
Through it children will learn that one
of the secrets of good writing is good
seeing"
A study of newspapers may lead

Greatest Obligation

''The greatest obligation Of the
newspaper is to furnish trustworthy
information as a basis for intelligent
opinion. This is one Of its chief obi
gations-accurate unbiased recording
of events"
Newspapers often try to spread
themselves out too thin, Mr.. Harring-
ton observed. "In an attempt to ap-
peal to the majority Of readers, they
include too many trivialities and GIN
cracks at the expense Of news" he
said. "The side shows have crowded
out the big performance. ! think the
newspaper has encouraged desultory,
superficial headline reading. We are
apt to satisfy our appetites with sen
sations rather than to follow an in
forming story through to the end"
of the great influence Of the news
paper upon readers, both young and
mature, Mr.. Harrington said:
1T has an unusual power due to
its opportunity for daily repetition.
This power, not duplicated by any
other institution, Is derived from the
limitless audience every day what has
occurred in the last "a hours. Through
that power it builds public opinion.
This influence is not limited to mature
readers because it is a fact that the
press may have its greatest influence
on the young at the most impression
able times Of their lives.
"Its influence is heightened by the
fact that it has first chance at the
readers minds before they have form
ed opinions. Newspaper reading
should not be substitute for think
ing. 1t ought to cultivate it. If
paper can encourage thinking, it is do
ing a good job"
Thoughts of peace based on good
will to other nations and races may
be cultivated in young learners if the
newspaper acquaints children fairly
with the world they live in. Antiquat-
ed textbooks too often keep alive old
hatreds bred of wars and strifes. The
newspaper, fresh from the press each
day, has an appeal to children great
er than the usual bound volume from
which lessons are assigned. Even
now, he said, children are beginning
to feel the solidarity of the world be-
cause of an interest in things outside
the familiar which nave been awaken
ed by the newspaper. If the press
can be. used in war time to stir men
to action, why should it not be used in
peace to weld them together with
bonds Of good will, 1t can certainly
become a great unifying force by ac-
qrainting people better with each 9th
er and thus wiping out misunderstand-
ings arising from ignorance, he said.
The newspaper can conduct a cam
paign against prejudice by driving it
out with accurate information, news
that convinces people that the world
is not necessarily a place Of enmities
and jealousies.
In Campaign for World Peace
"Tn my opinion the greatest thing
before newspapers today is this cam
paign for world peace" he said. "In
two ways the newspaper can be an in
fluence for good in this direction. 1t
can bring before its readers the cost
and futihty Of war, and also build up
international friendship by sympathe-
tic reporting Of foreign news.
"A new breed of foreign corre-
spondents has come into existence.

Figures Hold Up Well
September construction contracts
in the 81 states east of the Rocky
mountains amounted to $562,371 400.
This was only per cent under the
total for the preceding month, and
the decrease from September of last
year was less than per cent. These
81 states include about 81 per cent
Of the total construction volume of
the country.
The most important items in the
September contract record were:
$225,5l6.3OO. or 40 per cent Of all
construction. for residential build

public works and utilities; $97,37S.30O,

industrial constructions; and $34,53l.-

buildings.

nine months has amounted to $4,-

Moderate Pruning Best
in All Fruit Orchards

If you're an extremist, don't try TO
prune any fruit trees. No pruning at
all is n extreme; pruning too much
Is the other. Both are Improbable.
experienced fruit growers will testify.
The middle course Is best.
Young trees thrive on light pruning.
Bearing trees require more and more
pruning rs they get older.
In pruning apple trees one aim Is
to give all the branches breathing
space and sunlight, The lower limbs
and spurs won't develop and bear with
out sunlight.
Thin out by pruning The outer and
upper portions Of the tree, but do not
prune to leave large holes that allow
direct sunlight to strike large branches
and induce sun scald c0nkers. Con
fine most of the cutting 10 small
branches, well distributed, taking out
large branches only where crowding
exists, or to keep trees from getting
too tall.
As peach trees come into heavy
bearing begin pruning for an open
enter. Keep tall branches cut back
to strong lnterals, and where neces-
snry do additional heading back on
these lnterals. Fruit is borne on one
year wood prune to keep a normal
amount OF vigorous growth well dis
tributed through the trees.
