FRASER CHAPEL
DR. GLADDEN PAYS PRESS HIGH TRIBUTE
"Whatever tends to develop the mob mind, tends to make government by public opinion impossible. Whatever tends to keep people reasonable, and thoughtful, and self-controlled, and fair-minded, is cultivating in the public mind certainities and habits on which we must rely to bring the fullness of the kindness of God. There are newswies which are doing this kind of work, and nothing better in this world today; while there are others which are doing more than any other agency to develop the mob mind; and nothing more mischievous has ever been done in any generation."
(Continued from page 1)
red with the vice of extravagance, of exaggeration? asked Dr. Gladden in discussing his platform for the American press. "Is not the tendency almost university of overstating facts? How many towns are there in which the truth about the population is ever told? How many ministers are there who ever tell the truth about the capacity of their churches, or the size of their congregations? The newspapers are not the only propagators of this vice; the churches and the ministers, as I have said, are a good second, and when the churches and the newspapers combine together to give the statistics of the current sensational news you get results that make Munichausen hide his diminished head.
Dr. Gladden urged the editors to make a constant campaign to shift the public eye from money and position to character and manhood as the central values of human existence.
"It is clearly not in the interest of sound and sane public opinion that these habits of exaggeration in speech are cultivated. I don't see how we are ever going to stop it, unless a different code is adopted from that which generally prevails in the reporters' room.
WEDNESDAY, 8 P. M.
"The newspaper stands before the community in the rule of a public teacher," he said. "And the first qualification of a public teacher is
that he shall be sincere, and disinterested. When it becomes evident that a journalist or an evangelist is out after the shekels, his power to aid in eradicating the root of all evil will be greatly lessened.
"I know of some newspapers that are doing much to bring to earth a reign of good will. They are disposed to discern the good and to rejoice in it; they cultivate gracious speech and kindly judgment of their fellow men. And yet I fear that it is true that in collecting and presenting the news of the day, the habit which so largely prevail fixing the attention upon the evil of life upmost, of exploiting crime and vice and scandal, furnishes, to quite too large an extent, the common notion of the function of journalism.
"It is not true that one of the deepest needs of our social life is the need of a kindier judgment of our neighbors; the need of a disposition to see the good side of everybody? Would not a public opinion suffuse with such generosity and good-will give us juster laws, a more stable social order, a more prosperous and safer community wealth?" And has not the newspaper a very large responsibility in securing such conditions?"

They Don't Want Typhoid

PROPOSES LICENSING ALL NEWSPAPER MEN
Barratt O'Hara Presents Plan Before National Conference at K. U.
A plan to license 'newsapre men along with doctors and lawyers was presented today to the National Newspaper Conference by its originator, Barratt O'Hara, Lieutenant Governor of Illinois.
The plan provided for the creation of a board of journalism, which would both issue and revoke licenses to practice the profession of journalism. The requirements for obtaining the license are five.
First, the applicant must be by virtue one years of age. Second, he must have the equivalent of a high school education. Third, he must have studied two years in a recognized college of journalism, or have passed the same period of time in a newspaper office as an apprentice reporter. Fourth, he must furnish the board of journalism with positive proof of a good moral character. Fifth, he must successfully pass an examination in writing conducted by the state board at regular intervals.
A provision was included in Mr. O'Hara's plan for those who were unable to get the two years' training in a school of journalism. Such men are to be given certificates as apprentice reporters and will be allowed to do the work of a cub reporter, but will not be allowed to pass final judgment on his own or any other person's copy. Then, after two years' training in actual newspaper work under the apprentice certificate, he should have prepared himself to pass the regular examination and, if successful, is to be given a certificate as a full reporter.
The reporter should have his license
revoked if convicted of felony, or for conviction of willful misrepresentation, writing of scandal, or the acceptance of bribes for coloring his news reports, or any other unprofessional conduct.

CHEMISTS OFFER FLOWER POTS TO WOMEN VISITORS
Any of the women in Lawrence who are desirous of securing some flower pots for nothing, would do well to call at the assay Room, in the basement of the Chemistry Building, and help themselves.
The pots were not made especially with the intent of doing any harm to the manufacturers of flower pots, but a great number of them are accumulated and will be destroyed in a few days unless carried off.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.
Talbot, Saturday night, a girl.
