Excerpt from Practical Journalism: A Complete Manual of the Best Newspaper Methods
The contents embody the observations of twenty years spent in more or less close connection with jour nalistic work, ranging from the onerous responsibil ities of a printer's devil to the honorable labors of an editorial position, with the usual intervening steps as typesetter, proof-reader, college journalist, editor of a country weekly, correspondent of a large city paper, and then a decade on various Chicago dailies in the capacity of reporter, copy reader, telegraph editor, exchange reader, book reviewer, and editorial writer. It is impossible for such an old-timer to paint rainbow visions of the glory and power that await the youth who is about to make journalism his profession. The view presented in this volume is of the plain and mat ter-oi-fact kind, inspiring no roseate dreams to be dis pelled, yet trying to make note of the true inspiration that still quickens the pulse of the hurrying reporter and of the pale copy reader under his midnight elec tric bulb. If the newspaper employee of to-day can not be much of a molder of public opinion, he can at least have the inspiration of realizing that he IS a part of the greatest machine for photographing contem porary human life ever known in the world's history.

Excerpt from Practical Journalism: A Complete Manual of the Best Newspaper Methods
There are few things concerning which the general public is more curious, and about which it knows less, than the inside of a metropolitan newspaper office. This curiosity is at least as healthy and legitimate as that regarding the north pole, yet there have been many more polar expeditions than books about the inner workings of the modem, newspaper. As one-half of all intelligent young men and women in the United States are said to pass through a period when they imagine they would like to wield the pen, it ought to be an act of humanity to place in their hands a book that will tell just how the work of the best and largest daily papers is done.
It is strange that the American newspaper should have reached its present stage of maturity and national importance without having inspired a complete popular manual of journalistic methods. There are many brief treatises of practical value on the more obvious features of newspaper work, but hitherto no attempt has been made to present a detailed practical analysis of all the writing departments of a progressive city daily.
