PRACTICAL 
 JOURNALISM 
 
 Ever}' Wednesda}' the Ohio State lyan- 
 tern "comes out." 
 
 That is all most people know about what is considered 
 the largest and the best edited weekly college newspaper in 
 the United States. 
 
 So does honey come to the breakfast table and many 
 do not think of the busy hive where it is manufactured with 
 all the care and system possible. 
 
 The Lantern staff and the students of journalism at the 
 Ohio State University are just as busy and just as system- 
 atic in their work as any other kind of hive. Twice a week 
 they swarm. On Wednesday afternoon they gather about 
 the great King Bee, the editor-in-chief, and from the fol- 
 lowing Saturday to Monday midnight, they bring their 
 findings to him, in the form of news gathered from every 
 corner of the campus. 
 
 Wednesday, the Lantern "comes out." That's all. But 
 listen — try to find a lecture given on the campus or even in 
 Columbus which is concerned with a university interest, 
 where a Lantern reporter is not present. Look for a depart- 
 ment of the teaching force which is not visited once a week 
 by a Lantern reporter. Inquire for a student who holds a 
 big office within a student body, who is not quizzed concern- 
 ing "things doing" every few days by a Lantern reporter. 
 Loiter around the Greek rooms, the machine shops, the 
 cattle barns, the Library corridors, the domestic science 
 kitchens, the campus spring, the President's office, the chem- 
 istry "labs," or the Law steps, and see how long it will be 
 until a Lantern reporter or a journalism student comes along. 
 
 Do this, and then j^ou may understand the workings of 
 the news corps which rakes, runs, snoops, 'phones, questions, 
 and gets the news of the University.

Training for Journalism 7 
 
 The editor-in-chief keeps an assignment book. At the 
 general staff meeting on Wednesday afternoon he gives his 
 reporters definite work. Each has as much as he can 
 "cover," often more. Besides the regular assignments, 
 each reporter is expected to bring in all other stories he 
 can find. If he "falls down" on a stor}^, woe betide him, 
 for the Lantern editor is a hard taskmaster. Dozens of stu- 
 dents in the journalism classes strive to get on the Lantern 
 staff, and those whom the editor picks, with the approval of 
 the instructor in journalism, must "make good." Usually 
 they do. Sometimes — 
 
 Monday is the big day. Then the "copy "comes flooding 
 in. Editorial "copy "has been read Saturday, and sent to the 
 printer. But Monday is the day of the last call for stories. 
 
 About a big table in a journalism room sits the advanced 
 class in editing. At the head is the editor, wielding a big 
 black pencil over the pile of "copy" beneath. He glances 
 at a piece of "copy." "Too long," he decides. "Cut^. 
 C-head' ' is scribbled at the top of the first sheet. 
 
 A student copy-reader edits the ' 'copy' ' carefully. Each 
 word is scanned and punctuation is placed. The unnecessary 
 part is cut, the head is written and the "copy" goes back 
 to the editor. He reads it again and puts it "on the hook" 
 for the linotype man. 
 
 Heads must contain the most striking feature of the 
 story. They must also be uniform. Only a certain number 
 of letters is allowed in a line. The ' 'bank, ' ' beneath the main 
 lines of the head, must be carefully written. A dozen styles 
 of heads, single column, double column, light face, and 
 display type are known to Lantern copy-readers by letters. 
 "C-head" is a definite name. 
 
 Likewise there are styles of writing news on which the 
 editor insists. Few stories begin with "a" or "the." The 
 
8 The Ohio State University 
 
 "lead," or first sentence or paragraph of a story, must con- 
 tain the most striking, the newest phase of the piece of news. 
 "Get the story hot, hit it right off the bat," are the instruc- 
 tions to news writers. Proof is read by students. Expert 
 proof-readers are scarce. 
 
 All through Monda^v night the boys work at the down- 
 town office of the paper. Late stories must be written, 
 edited, heads placed, proof read, and often it is dawn 
 before the last student newspaper man takes an owl car for 
 the campus neighborhood. And yet it is fascinating work 
 that develops enthusiasm and efficiency. 
 
 Tuesday is "make-up" day. Then the paper is put 
 together. It is much like a puzzle. The make-up of the 
 front page is most important, for here heads must be "bal- 
 anced" with other heads, cuts placed where they will show 
 best, and hunks, ofien literally, are cut out of stories to 
 make them fit, and not run over to another page. Similar 
 care is taken on the inside pages, though these are less im- 
 portant. The editor-in-chief or one of his assistant editors 
 "makes up," for it takes a man with quick judgment and 
 practised eye to direct the printers as they dart back and 
 forth between the "dummy" tables and the "make-up 
 forms," obejang instructions. 
 
 Then — a breathing spell, and Wednesday the lyantern 
 is in the hands of subscribers. On the same afternoon the 
 staff meets to hear the instructor in journalism criticise the 
 paper for the week — stories, make-up, proof-reading, style 
 everything pertaining to the fine points of newpaper build- 
 ing. Again the a.ssignments for next week, again the 
 scooting about the campus, again the editor's scrutiny, 
 again Monday night, always the system. Thus the Lan- 
 ern "comes out." 
 
lo The Ohio State University 
 
 ^HE COLLEGE AND^' This is the free and easy story of 
 
 T HE OFFICE j how things are done in the advanced 
 
 course — catalogued as Newspaper Practise — at the Ohio 
 State University, where opportuity is given to apply class- 
 room theory to newspaper making. That the product pro- 
 duced compares favorably with metropolitan papers is the 
 testimony of editors who know. The National Printer- 
 Journalist^ in a recent issue commends the make-up, news- 
 paper style and structure of news-stories printed in the 
 Ivantern, and says that it is as good as any reputable city 
 paper. 
 
 Such commendation, perhaps, is sufficient proof of the 
 worth of college training in journalism. It must be under- 
 stood, however, that the University /r<?/)«;r^ for journalism; 
 it does not graduate finished editors and reporters, nor does 
 it attempt to do so. 
 
 "Of course, no school can make a great editor, a great 
 war correspondent or a 'star' reporter any more than it can 
 make a Millet, a Lorenzo or a Henry Ward Beecher," re- 
 marks the New York World. "But it can teach the right 
 methods which the genius and the clod alike must observe; it 
 can give protection against ignorant blunders, and it can 
 show how to make use of the sources of accurate informa- 
 tion. It is the function of a technical school to enable its 
 graduates to handle the tools of their profession with 
 correctness and facility — for force and originality, they must 
 depend upon themselves." 
 
 Such preparation is not a matter of comfortable philoso- 
 phy. Just as medical schools have made their teaching prac- 
 tical at the bed-side of the patient, just as sociology, psy- 
 chology, pedagogy, chemistr}', agriculture and what not 
 are taught by the laboratory method, just so is journalism 
 instructing its young aspirants in its work-a-day problems 
 
Training for Journalism ii 
 
 under the direction of instructors who unite practical 
 newspaper training with class-room experience. 
 
 At Ohio State University, the campus, the city and the 
 print-shop are the laboratories. Students are taught where 
 to look for news, how to write it, how to get it ready for 
 publication. All of them are required to accomplish certain 
 tasks in the making of the college paper. One day a student 
 may be called upon to interview a man of affairs or to report 
 an address; at another time to "edit" copy, write headlines, 
 "make-up" the paper for the day, or work out a difficult 
 editorial topic. Almost every phase of the newspaper busi- 
 ness is touched in the six courses that are offered in 
 journalism. In addition to the more practical assignments, 
 classes meet to consider the organization of the newspaper and 
 for the discussion of the manifold problems of the editorial 
 chair, of news gathering associations, syndicates, and the 
 
 like. 
 
 Real newspapers are studied in their relation to the 
 events of the day. Building of headlines to bring out the 
 gist of the "story' ' and contrasting methods of news present- 
 ation and editorial comment are given critical attention and 
 study. An attempt is constantly made to render the student 
 more wide) 5^ conversant with the hidden currents that con- 
 trol the American press. Students' articles are carefully 
 compared with reports appearing in well edited newspapers 
 throughout the country. 
 
 When the student who has had this training enters the 
 newspaper oihce, he has learned the rudiments of the busi- 
 ness. Many things he has already acquired. He approaches 
 his work, as reporter, with a clear conception of what he 
 is to do and how he is to do it. The newspaper begins 
 where the college leaves off. The "cub" is thrown upon 
 his own resources, but is spared the usual vexations of the 
 beginner. In short, he has been trained for joitrnalisiu.

 CONTRIBUTION I A city is often an illuminating 
 
 OF THE CITY 1 education of itself, in keeping minds 
 
 alert and eyes open. Its ever changing panorama is crowded 
 with human interest, awaiting the man with the wandering 
 eye of inquiry. Here are the currents of public opinion, 
 the daily adventure of humanit};^ and the significant move- 
 ment of the times — ready to be studied and analyzed. The 
 life of the campus is thus made more vital and significant- 
 Columbus, in particular, is well favored as a place for 
 practical training in journalism. It has a population of some 
 180,000 people, is the capital of the State, and the common 
 center for numerous conventions, meetings and organiza- 
 tions, which bring in many prominent men and women from 
 all quarters. Opportunities for first-hand investigation of 
 important news events and for interviewing interesting people 
 are numerous. Students in journalism are given "live" 
 assignments to "cover," — addresses, exhibitions, conven- 
 tions, state institutions, municipal offices and the like. 
 Some are assigned to explore in neglected by-waj^s. The 
 news-sense is quickened by this personal contact. The 
 special bent of each student is studied and developed by 
 proper assignments. Young women students are given the 
 same training as the men, and are not restricted to society 
 reporting. Effort is constantly made to spur on individu- 
 ality, to awaken latent instincts, and to broaden the sympa- 
 thies of the students, especially in their attitude toward 
 people of diverse social ranks. The work is humanizing. 
 During the 3'ear newspaper men from the downtown 
 city papers and elsewhere are invited to address the students 
 in journalism. The informal shop-talks by men in active 
 service have proved interesting and profitable. In the spring 
 two or three da5^s are given over to the meeting of the Ohio 
 College Press Association, where distinguished newspaper 
 editors are invited to speak. 
 
14 Training for Journalism 
 
 VALUE OF 
 COLLEGE TRAINING 
 
 The day of slip-shod journaUsm 
 is past, along with the reporter of 
 meagre education and limited outlook. Man}^ mod- 
 ern newspaper offices now admit no applicant to their 
 staffs without proof of college training. Journalism is 
 attracting the intelligent men and women of the colleges and 
 is offering an increasing wage for their services. News- 
 paper-making is no longer a trade that exacts relatively 
 little on the part of the men who do its work, but a profes- 
 sion with growing requirements and responsibilities. Good 
 positions await the man or woman thoroughly versed in the 
 methods of newspapers and skilled in effective expression. 
 
 ^^E SCOPE "^^ ^^^ query often made rela- 
 
 QF STUDY tive to the content of courses 
 
 adapted to students preparing for journalism, the 
 University answers that news-gathering and news-writing 
 are but specialized means to higher ends. "There are too 
 many bright young men who can write an article," 
 remarks Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Jotcrnal , 
 "and too few possessing a sufficiently broad education to 
 fit them for higher positions and larger usefulness." 
 
 The University recognizes that its chief business is to 
 give a broad foundation rather than a narrow technical 
 professional training. While in each year's work practical 
 newspaper courses are required, a liberal complement of 
 other studies is also required. The modern newspaper man 
 needs an acquaintance with the languages, psychology, 
 ethics, philosophy, economics and sociology, American and 
 European history, and the methods of science — in fact, he 
 needs an intelligent understanding of the world in which he 
 lives. The wider his range of sympathies and the richer 
 his store of knowledge, the better his preparation for news- 
 paper work and for right living.

 I EDUCATION 
 
 FOR EFFICIENCY 
 
 It is believed that the hberal 
 education afforded by a full course 
 in journalism will prove valuable in other fields aside from 
 journalistic pursuits. Even if a young man does 
 not go into the newspaper business or profession, his 
 training has given him a certain alertness and breadth of 
 scholarship, and his style has acquired a certain directness 
 and accuracy that make for efiicienc}'. As a matter of fact, 
 many former students of courses at the University have gone 
 into law, some into teaching, a few of the more literary 
 have written articles for the magazines. It is gratifying to 
 know, however, that a goodly number of students are now 
 employed as reporters and editors on newspapers of recog- 
 nized standing. A few of the men are at the head of their 
 own newspapers and are doing good work in the service of 
 the country press. 
 
 Students entering the University 
 as freshmen are expected to complete

 professional journalism courses, at the same time giving at- 
 tention to specified work in other departments. The intro- 
 ductory course in journalism is designed to teach the stu- 
 dent how to write a readable news story in firm, vigorous 
 fashion, rather than to afford him a wide training in gather- 
 ing news. He is not sent out on assignments until the in- 
 structor is sure he knows what to do with the facts when 
 they have been secured. When this has been accomplished, 
 drill is given in reporting simple events that require no 
 great effort or resourcefulness. The latter part of the 
 course is concerned with the more complex forms of inter- 
 viewing and free-lance "digging" for news. Frequent 
 class-room applications are made to the principles discussed 
 in the text-book. Every department of newspaper organi- 
 zation is discussed.
