Into the building of the system nad gone much time and effort nottraceable in this story. To it men of national prominence outside the state had contributedtheir ideas and questions. Glancing through the letters of help that came tothe committee we find the names of Lee A. White, Detroit News; Oswald GarrisonVillard, The Nation; Willis J. Abbot, Christian Science Monitor; Dean Eric W. Allen,Oregon; J. W. Cunliffe, Columbia; Walter Williams, Missouri; W. G. Bleyer, Wisconsin;L. N. Flint, Kansas; and others.Charles H. Dennis, editor of the Chicago Daily News recommended in Octob?r1926 that the plan be given thorough study and, under favorable circumstances, thatit be applied with extreme care and to a limited extent until its results could be carefullyweighed. Dean Walter Williams of Missouri and Dean W. G. Bleyer of Wisconsinreferred to it during its formative stages as one of the most important, if not the mostimportant, movement for the improvement of the press that had been undertaken inthe last twenty years. Several state associations appointed committees on education andbegan a study of the plan with reference to their own needs.Much of the work of the Illinois committee has been done. This work includesthe study and devising of tests for determining journalistic aptitude, the study anddevising of tests for determining journalistic achievement and the administration oftests and the checkup of the results. The experience of many daily newspaper editorsand reporters, of many weekly newspaper editors and publishers, of manv teachersand directors of schools of journalism are embodied in the professional recognition plan.More than two hundred experienced newspaper men aided in shaping the early rulesand regulations.244
Illinois Newspaper Directory and HistoryChapter XIThe School and the Triumph at Springfield1927The Mid- Winter Meeting of the Illinois Press Association was held March 24, 2 5and 26, 1927, in Springfield. The members were occupied principally with the businessand technical aspects of printing and publishing, although the elimination of fraud inadvertising, the development of national advertising, and the issuing of certificates toreporters came up also as important matters of discussion.The convention was launched with a banquet at the Hotel Abraham Lincoln onthe evening of March 24, at which many men prominent in Illinois and national life hadseats at the speakers' table.The first business session was opened at 9:30 Friday morning in the auditorium ofthe beautiful Centennial building by W. W. Loomis, LaGrange Citizen, in the temporaryabsence of President Harry Bell, White Hall Register-Republican. At this session twomen prominent in organizations working toward the betterment of advertising spoke onthe subject of keeping fraud out of the advertising columns of the newspapers.H. A. Dryden, Peoria, of the Association of Newspaper Classified Advertising Managers,said in part: "The reporter who draws on his imagination to color a news storydoes little if any harm, but the advertiser of untrue statements made through the advertisingcolumns deliberately lies, and does untold harm both to the newspaper as an advertisingmedium and to the advertiser who allows his product to be misrepresented."He spoke of the hearty co-operation which had been accorded his organization bythe newspapers of the state, and briefly described the service it gave its members. Animportant feature of the service was the issuing of bulletins giving facts in regard toadvertisers and a digest of the annual convention. Membership in the organization wasmade available to publishers in smaller communities by the fact that dues operated on asliding scale gauged by population. The membership fee for any town under 5 0,000population was ten dollars.He related specific examples of a number of frauds the organization had brought tolight, almost all of which demanded a cash down payment. Many such frauds had beendriven from the classified columns and a number of the perpetrators brought to justice.Following him Roscoe Herget, a Peoria attorney, spoke of the operations of theBetter Business Bureau in that city. Peoria had the honor of establishing the first suchbureau in Illinois. Chicago soon followed and operated its Better Business Bureau on ayearly budget of approximately $45,000. Mr. Herget gave as the purposes of this movementthe following: to increase public confidence in advertising; to prevent deception;and, to prevent unfair competition. He stated that at the outset there had been somemisconception on the part of the newspapers as to the purpose of the Better Businessmovement but that when it had been demonstrated that members were in favor of advertising,the co-operation at once extended them by the newspapers had become one ofthe largest factors in their success in investigating suspected frauds and preventingtheir reaching the public by way of advertising. He concluded by assuring the Illinois
