How the Prospect is Made Paid-One dime. Result--to the student body-ten cents worth of good, snappy reading. To the Prospect staffha deal of enjoyment in our work and criticisms, mostly the latter. And the reason for this latter is that you donit realize what an amount of real work is entailed by issuing just one will you 1nonth's publication. Hence this not be an argument to convince of how utterly indispensable the school publication is to your welfare, but it will be an exposition of our job. On the same day the book is present- ed to the student body, a meeting of the staff is held. Here the issue is gone over thoroughly and its weak points discussed, figuratively raked over the coals. At the same time, those responsible for the good points or the bad are commended or censured, as the case may be. Suggestions are now made for the improvement of the next issue. Timely subjects for edi- torials are presented and those who feel inspired to write on them are given sanction to do so. However most of that work is done by the as- sistant editors and the editor. The meeting terminates with the announce- ment of the date by which the material for the next issue is due. Here, too, ends the first step of the job. The worst is yet to come. The heads of the various depart- ments immediately begin gathering their material. They apportion the work to their assistants, paying par- ticular attention to any special articles that may have been assigned by the Twenty editor. But the best part of it is, the whole staff works on its own initiative, merely adhering to the general plan of the kind of news they must have. And here's the way they go about it. General News is the most important division and is headed by three Gen- eral News Editors who have under them a staff of reporters. The latter are assigned divers events to cover Cre- portj, according to the discretion of their superiors. They must watch closely the bulletin board and follow up all rumors of anything doing. All must pay close attention to the con- versation of the student body, for that is the barometer of the sehool's activi- ties. General News as a whole must be thoroughly wide awake for no dead ones can hope to succeed. The activities 'of societies are next on the list. According to the name, one might think it meant only those associations organized for social af' fairs, but such is not the case. It in- cludes all the clubs of Manual, of which there are a large number. To take care of these, we have one editor and assistants. The last cover what they are assigned, their superior tak- ing what he pleases. The work is done by asking the secretaries of the sev- eral clubs to make a thorough report of all their society's activities. Then a suitable revision of these reports is made by the society editor and his as- sistants. VVhere there are no secre- taries or where it is impossible for news to be secured in any way, those responsible go after it themselves.
