First Year That Convention
Meets Outside of National
Headquarters.
GALE DELIVERS ADDRESS
Quin Ryan, Radio Announcer of
Chicago Tribune Wili Speak
at Banquet.
Already High Life copies have been
sent to Chicago to be entered in the
eighth convention of the National Scho
lastic Press Association. The Wuboldt
Hall on McKinlock campus of North
western University, will be used for the
convention purpose.
Selection of Chicago for the conven
tion marks the first time that the meet
has ever been held in a city other
than that in which national headquar
ters of N. S. P. A. are located.
Because of the fact that Chicago is
to be host, the eighth convention prom
ises to be the greatest in the hisory
of the association. The location of the
city is ideal for the majority of N. S.
P. A. members. Railroad fares, a big
factor in holding down the attendance
at the seventh convention, will be re
duced to a minimum for hundreds of
publication members. The'•city itself
will supply enough delegates fpr a cred
itable gathering. Bus and train sched
ules from all points are exceptionally
favorable to a large attendance. The
best of speaking talent can be secured
right in the city.
Miss Zona Gale will deliver the main
address at the Friday afternoon convo
cation. Her subject will be one of her
own choosing. Seldom has N. S. P. A.
been able to secure as a speaker a per
son as well known as Zona Gale.
William S. Hedges, president of the
National Association of Broadcasters
and the Radio' editor of the Chicago
Daily 'News, will speak on the subject,
‘‘To the Radio, the Newspaper's Com
petitor.” Bruce R. McCay, acting chair
man, department of journalism, Uni
versity of Minnesota, has for his sub
ject, ‘‘A Press Criticism and Press
Critics.”
‘‘Four Roads to Printland” is the
title of Professor H. F. Harrington’s
address. Pofessor Harrington is direc
tor of the Medill School of Journalism
and author of ‘‘Chats on Feature Writ
ing” and other books.
Benjamin F. Buck, assistant super
intendent of Chicago Schools and a
friend of school publications, will talk
on ‘‘High School Publications and
School Life.”
Quin Ryan, radio announcer of the
Chicago Tribune, will be speaker at the
banquet. E. II. Johnson, president, Na
tional Association College Teachers of
Journalism, has for a subject, ‘‘Why
Study, Journalism?”
So far is known now, no delegate will
be sent from Greensboro high school.
