Harger Discusses Newspaper Ideals in Vocational Talk
Journalist Must Have Love for the Profession to Be Successful, Says Editor
FOUR PAGES
Charles M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Reflector and a member of the regents of the University, talked last night to a group of students and faculty members in the auditorium of the Administration building on journalism as a vocation. Mr. Harger is the department of journalism at the University and is a contributor to various magazines and periodicals.
A person who goes into newspaper work, said Mr. Harger, may have two reasons: first, that he likes it; and second, that he can make money at it. The ideal newspaper man is one who is passionate in a coworking environment, two twofold sensitize a spirit of intense devotion to the profession is essential to a good newspaper man. "If a man won't give up a dance, a ride, a game of golf, or a game of bridge, to get out for a story, I don't want him on my paper," Mr. Harger said. "The newspaper man must love to take pleasure to love to see himself in print."
No.159
Mr. Harger, in limiting his discussion to the country newspapers, said that a man who could make good news and be good any place in newspaper work.
"The newspaper originally was a propoganda sheet," Mr. Harger declared. Only after the birth of advertisement the newspaper became a business proposition.
"The small country paper comes close to the people. The editor must have an unusual interest and sympathy in the community," Mr Harger said.
In Mr. Harger's advice about news writing, he said that the ideal way to write a news story was to put so much color, so much personality, and so much power into it that the readers remember it in your paper.
"You must win the goodwill, the confidence and the support of the entire team. But he learned there is nothing in being the mouthpiece for a group, a gang or a crowd in the community. The idea is to give every one a square inch."

Topekans to Pick Route of Indians in Kansas Relays
Runners to Inspect Roads Before Definite One Will Be Chosen for Race
Leslie Edmonds, Carlos Holmes, iboa William H. Miller, all of Topaike, have accepted the commission to officially pick the route over which the Tara bumara Indians will run next Satur day afternoon as a feature of the fifth annual Kansas Relays, accordin to Dr. F. C., "PhoG" Allen.
"It is impossible to announce the lefinite routes at the present time," mid Doctor Allen this morning. "Nothing can be done until the Indians inveed imposed the routes for them elves and given their approval."
The Indians, both men and women prefer the dirt roads but the recent rains may make the unpaved roads very unsatisfactory as a route. The Victory highway is the most logical route for transportation and the traffic will be hindrances.
Prefer Dirt Road
The Chamber of Commerce has petitioned the athletic department to allow the Indians to run over the Golden Belt way which follows the Kaw river through Bonner Springs. This route has its good points in the fact that it has very little paved road and goes through the lowlands and has very few hills. The renames would encounter very little traffic this road.
It will be necessary for cars to a company the runners and protect them from the crowds and the traffic if the entrance runners use the Virtory ramp.
Victory Highway Probable Route
The Victory highway from Topeka is the probable route for the Indian and English sides, and one of the most direct routes between the two towns. The road contains a number of dangerous curves, however, and traffic would have to be avoided. The road has fast progress of the runners.
Six of the fastest of all the Tarahumara Indian runners arrived in El Paso, Texas, yesterday from Chihuahua City, Mexico, on their way to the 50 mile endurance run in the Kansas Relays. They will leave for Arkansas City to tour the country there. They are the same Indians who ran in the endurance tests as a part of the Texas Relays hold last month in Austin, Texas.
