These and other similar questions are from
time to time put to newspaper editors by
people who do not know the considerations
that guide newspapermen in the treatment
of news. Those who complain sometimes
charge that there is respect to persons
shown, or that personal feelings enter into
the matter.
Persons who complain that news which
they supply to a newspaper, or in which they
are interested, is not given the prominence
which they desire, or is not as lengthy as
they believe it deserves to be, have never
studied the weeks news from the editors
standpoint. AS he sees the news, the various
stories or items are of relative Importance
that is, they are relative to one another as
news proper, or in their news significance,
and they are relative as to the readers as
subjects of interest.
The makeup editor does not often err in
the placement of news or in the handling OF
news. Both by experience and intuition he
has true sense Of proportionate values in
regard to human interest. He sometimes
acts contrary to his judgment, though de-
liberately, in playing up some local news or
propaganda for particular public reason
But he lets the relative values govern his de-
cision in most instances.
These observations on placements and
headings are based on articles in a newspa-
per which is classed by newspaper men as
one of the greatest in the world. There is a
relatively as to values which every editor
follows as closely as he can, and he is.gener-
ally correct.

The Junior class of the Kenne-
wick high school is to be congrat-
ulated upon the splendid coopera-
ton shown by the members, as a
whole and the committees that
were appointed to certain tasks to
forward the interest and success
of each activity of the class. By
activities, is meant, the Junior
Senior banquet, the annual Prom
and the Junior class day.
Whether or not there has been
a Junior class it's equal in dra-
matics, scholarship and athletics

LAST APPEARANCE

Well readers, this is the la S t
tribute the class of 1892 will ever
make to the K.H.S. Broadcaster.
To some it has been great pleas
ure to be able to contribute his
works, but to others it has been
misery. 1t has at various times
proved very trying, but by rack
ing the brain it was always easier
to write newspaper article than
two or three hundred word

It is certainly a wonderful OPP
portunity for students to be able
to receive this training in high
school, so the class Of 1882 takes
this opportunity of thanking al
those who made it possible.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

There is no more beautiful sight under
heaven than these commencement pictures,
with boys and girls and flowers basking,
all, in the high light of hope and confidence
for coming years.
Like the rest of the country, Benton coun-
ty is in the very heart of the graduation sea-
son. We are seeing our fine young men and
women march forward, somewhat embar-
raised perhaps, to receive the little roll of
parchment which means all of four years of
toll and work and study and worry.
It's a great time of year for the youngster,
and should be a great time for the older cit
izen as WELL It should ever remind every
earnest American of the Importance of the
school system, and of the Importance of Civ
ing every boy and every girl fair chance
at fair education.
With the changing of the times, there has
come great change in the educational sys-
tenn. The splendid school system of the big
cities are finding keen rivals in those of the
smaller towns and even the country schools.
We are going on the theory that the best
educated citizenship means the best govern
ment, and the duty of every parent and of
every citizen whether parent or not, should
include very personal interest in good
schools.
