TRAINING FOR SOCIAL WORK
Movement on Foot to Start Classei for
the Purpose in Omaha.
MISS IDA JONTZ FAVOES IT

OraiMMsatlona to Be Enlisted te

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

and .Other organization engaged in like
work. 8ujh classes have proved success

many men and women who could actively

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.

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

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.) Gazette, which has been owned
and edited by the Snowden family for 109
years, the editorship descending from

The Philadelphia North American' lays
claim to the title of America's oldest dally
paper, running back In unbroken line to
pre-revoluntlonary days. Its daily Issue

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.
