I I : , 1 TRAINING FOR SOCIAL WORK Movement on Foot to Start Classei for the Purpose in Omaha. MISS IDA JONTZ FAVOES IT inbtuct of T. M. C. A. and Other OraiMMsatlona to Be Enlisted te Provide Lertarve and Tech nical Instractlon. Work In charge of the Associated Chari ties of Omaha and South Omaha has (frown to that extent that Mlas Ida Jonti, the su perintendent, ta aerlously considering the starting of a training class for social work ers. Tentatively, the proposition Is to co operate with the religious department of the Young Men's Christian association in providing Instruction by means of lec tures. Sevieral hours each week will be de voted to the, proposed classes, which are to be composed of all men and women In terested In social work and the problems connected therewith. "Recently we have been approached by several young women who evince a desire for training In social work," aald Miss Jonta. "Some of them have voluntarily placed themselves at our disposal to as sist In the work to what extent they may be able, and from this faot the thought has developed that perhaps, we can es tablish here in Omaha t, training school wherein those having a leaning toward this kind of work can be Initiated Into the prac tical service of the Associated Charities and .Other organization engaged in like work. 8ujh classes have proved success ful elsewhere, and lu this city we have many men and women who could actively assist with lectures, while the training on the practical side in the technique of so For Monday Buyers We have gone thru our trimmed hat stock and set aside fifty of the most attractive, regularly selling to $8.5(j). These we offer for Monday at fes.oo i Beavers We still have an ex cellent assortment of untrimmed beaver hats. Tlios. Kilpatrick & Co. cial work could be cared office." While the matter Is still undecided, dis cussion of its practicability has quite de- I termlned those Interested to go ahead on the lines Indicated. Besides the lectures and the practical training available In the dally work of the Associated Charities, there are the monthly conferences, participated In by representa tives of all churches and all societies affiliated with the charitable and social work now being done In the city. The conferences have comn to be regarded as a very valuable feature of the work and are usually largely attended by the active and experienced workers. Since the Asso ciated Charities has taken over the work In South Omaha, as well as the Kimball home to be used for emergency cases. Miss Jonts finds here time occupied up to the limit, and she Is feeling the need of assistance from others competent to at tend to the many details under her di rection. If the proposed classes are or ganised she feels that the kind of assist ance she needs will be available, and others who have become Interested feel the same way. A conference will be held shortly to consider the question fully and decide on a course of action. SOCIETY BOWS 10 THE ARMY (Continued from Second Page.)

NEWSPAPER CENTENNARIANS Eighty-Two Found to Have Passed the Century Mark. ANCIENTS ENROLL IN A CLUB Geographies! and Political Lines of the Batirh Continuity In Names and Family Ownership is Rare. The comparative youth of this glorious country of ours Is emphasized In an Im pressive way by the fact that only eighty two have been found eligible to member ship In the Century Club of American Newspapers. The club or honorary roll of centennar lans Is the outcome of the publication of the centennial edition of the St. Louis Re public, July 12, 1908. As a matter of his toric Interest, the Republic compiled a list of papers then known to have reached the century. Investigation during the present year raised the number to eighty-two, which are thus classified by the Republic: The eighty-two members of the Century club Include fifty-five dally papers and twenty-seven weeklies. Of course. In some cases the papers classified as dallies also have weekly or semlweekly editions, as In the case of the St. Louis Republic, but these have been Ignored In making up the roster. Twenty-two are published In New England, thirty-eight In the middle Atlan tic states, ten In Ohio and Indiana (In diana having one of the ten), eleven south of. Mason, and Dixon's line, and one the St. Louis Republic west of the Missis sippi. The relatively small number of hundred-year-old papers In the south three In Maryland, one In South Carolina, one In Kentucky, one In Tennessee, one In Geor gia and four In Virginia Is easily ac counted for by the disorganisation which accompanied the civil war. It Is a re markable Instance of tenacity of life that four journals should have seen the dawn of the one hundred and first year in the state of Virginia, whose soil was the very focus of the fires of war. The geographer, as he scrutinizes the list, will observe with surprise that no community upon the ex tensive coast line of the great lakes Is thore represented, although New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio have more than half the century-old papers of the nation. Delaware and North Carolina alone of the original thirteen states of the union are without members of the Century club. State Division. Pennsylvania has almost one-fourth of the membership within its borders, boast ing nineteen. New. York possesses nearly one-fifth and Ohio one-ninth. The count of states shows eighteen are represented, but It Is worthy of remark that neither the nation's capltol nor the District of Columbia has a paper whose biography goes back to 1809. One paper of the eighty-two Is published In a village of less than 1.000 people New Market, Va., the home of The Shenandoah Valley, has just 6S4 Inhabitants. Eleven make their homes In cummunttles number ing from 1,000 to 5,000; thirteen in towns whose population la between 6,000 and 10,000, and twenty-four In little cities of from 10,000 to 15,000. Communities whose census totals run from the latter figure to 100,000 boast eighteen Century club mem bers, snd cities of more than 100.000 have fifteen. New York City Is the home of three members of the Century club, while the towns that have two are seven Keene. N. H.; Portland. Me.J Dayton, O., and no less than four communities In Penn sylvaniaPhiladelphia, Lancaster, Green burg and Norrlatown. Here may be noted the strange fact that while the merging of two or more newspapers In one Is a com mon Incident of journalistic biology, Ben jamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Weekly Gazette reversed the process and produced twins, both The Philadelphia North Ameri can and The Saturday Evening Poet de riving from It. Were It not for this, Phila delphia would appear upon the Century club roster but once. Political Complexion. The political complexion of these eighty two papers Is an Interesting subject of Inquiry. Of the fifty-five dallies, thirty two are republican and eighteen demo cratic, while five are Independent In poll tics. One of the twenty-seven weeklies Is religious The Dayton Herald of Gospel Liberty and one The Saturday Eventng Post-is literary. Of the remaining twenty five, thirteen arc democratic, ten repub lican ana two independent. Two of the weeklies are published In German The Heading (Pa.) Adler and The Lancaster (Pa. Volksfreund and Reobarhtcr. The political complexion of the German cen tenarian press Is bipartisan. The Adler be ing republican and the Volksfreund und Boebachter democratic. Without doubt. the aemucraiic proportion of the rlnV. memoersnip is smaller than would other wise be the case on account of the break ing up of the commerlcal and social life or the south by the civil war. The newspapers beyond their one hundred dred and fiftieth year are: The Philadel phia North American and The Saturday Evening Post (which trace their lineage to Franklin's Gazette of 1738, as noted); Charleatoo News and Courier, founded In 1732; The Annapolis Gazette, 17(5; The Ports mouth Chronicle.

Great Year for lew Papers. The year that saw the birth of the St. Louis Republic was remarkable for Its fecundity In producing newspapers with sufficient vitality to carry them Into the second century; eleven out of the eighty two were born In 1808. They are The Cooperstown, N. T.) Freeman's Journal, The Goshen, (N. Y.) Democrat. The Day ton. (O.) Herald of Gospel Liberty, The Dayton and Beobachter, The Washington, (Pa.) Reporter. Tht West Chester, iPa.) Village Record, The Clarksvllle, (Tenn.) Leaf-Chronicle, The Lynchburg, (Va.) News, and the Pt. Louis Republic. The Republic Is remarkable not only for the possession of a history of 101 years, running back to a time when St. Louis was not In the, state of Missouri, but In the territory of Louisiana, but for continuity of ownership and management. The only' instance comparable with this In the United States is that of The Alexan dria, (Va.)

Shenandoah Val ley, ia worthy of mention, not only because, as already pointed out, It Is the only paper In the United States which has had an existence of more than 100 years In a vil lage of less than 1,000 people, but because of an Interesting contribution to the vexed question of the origin of the Important word "news", usually derived from the French "nouvelles." When the paper ap peared In 1808, It bore on the first page a cut of a man on horseback, blowing a horn, out of which proceeded the words: "Ich bring' das Neus! So gut Ich's welss!" (Very vernacular German for "I bring the news the bent I can.") "Neu's" is surely near to the F.ngllsh form of the word. r Want Ads are Business Boosters.
