CULTIVATING A NOSE FOR NEWS

The world is full of embryo journalists who will profit by reading what Mr. Kline says about journalism in today's CRIMSON.

An excellent newspaper man himself, Mr. Kline has presented in a short space a comprehensive view of the model newspaper man and the qualities he should possess. Unlike many who write about journalism, Mr. Kline is an optimist; he sees in this field a bright future for every man of ability who will work. His conclusion that the game is decidedly worth the candle, will put heart into many who have been deterred from entering upon this valuable work by hearing those engaged in it condemn it as the "Graveyard of Genius."

Of course, Mr. Kline is too much the professional newspaper man to admit that a nose for news may be cultivated where no such organ exists. While he does not enthuse over the schools of journalism, at the same time he does not decry their value as training grounds for future editors. He believes that any training that will quicken a man's faculties or make him expert in some field will be of service to him in newspaper work. He approves school-taught reporters, accordingly.

The article is well worth perusing and preserving by every man who is interested in newspaper work.
