daily newspapers make
boasts of their enormous

proofs of readership do

paper so much more valuable

Circulation, when speaking of
newspapers, is a word used to
describe the number of copies
printed and placed into the mails
or on carrier routes of each
regular edition.
Readership, by contrast, is
.something a good deal more in-
tangible. The two words have
relationships, but are in no wise
synonymous.
Circulation without reader
ship means very little.

NEVER TOUCHED HIS HEART
(Exchange)
Among the students of one of
our weil known colleges some
years ago was a young man
who was obliged to walk with
crutches. He was a stumbling,
homely sort of human being,
but he was a genius for intel-
ligence, friendliness and opti-
mism.
During his four years in col-
lege, this crippled young man

"OPEN COURT"
Most of us never go inside a
courtroom, unless perhaps to pay
a traffic fine. Yet things take
fateful question.
"Infantile paralysis," was the
brief artswer.
"Then tell me,"^ said the
friend,' "with a misfortune like
that, how can you face the
world so confidently and without
bitterness?"-
The young man> eyes smiled,
and he ^tapped his chest with
his ha&t. "Oh," he replied,

be done ift "opei. court" where
all may see.
Why not "isit a court soon,
and see what goes on?
The judge who conducts the
trial will be glad to have you
present. He sits on the "bench"
behind a big desk. His Job is
to see that each-party gets a
fair hearing, to keep order, and
to instruct the jury in the law,
or to decide the case if there is
no jury.
The jury sits in the jury box
to one side of .the judge. The
jurors swear to consider well
and impartially all evidence.
The witnesses who sit near the
bench swear to tell the truth.
They may be eatpmtned and
cross-examined by the lawyers
for the two parties.-
The two parties in a trial are
the "p.'aintijtf" and the "defen-
dant". In a civil action, the
nlaintiff complains that th<> de-
fendant has Infringed some of
his rights. He seeks "relief".
He usually wants the court to
make the defendant pay dam-
ages for* the harm .he has suf-
fered, or believes he has suffer-
ed. In a criminal trial, the
"state" is the plaintiff, repre-
sented by the district or county
attorney.
Besides the clerk, the marshall
or bailiff, and the shorthand re-
porter. you will find in your
'nurtroom two vital things-—the
press and the public.
The newspapers and the public
are represented in the court
ror-i for the same..reason. Jus-
tify is public business, for what
take place in the court may
nffect everybody in the land.
