MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
‘Tur DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEws- 
PAPER 
The Manchester Brotherhood met 
last Monday evening at the Baptist 
church. Francis M. Stanwood, a weil 
know summer resident, was the 
speaker of the evening. His subject 
was the “Development of the News- 
paper.” : 
Mr. Stanwood is a journalist and 
for a number of years was connected 
with the Boston Journal, and at one 
time president of the Hotel and Rail- 
road News Co. He spoke of the first 
newspaper that was published in 
Frankforte, Germany, and from that 
date to the present time, was covered 
in his extremely interesting talk. In 
May 1835 the New York Herald was 
established by James Gordon Bennet, 
and in twenty years developed to a 
circulation of 36,000. Harry J. Ray- 
mond in 1851 organized the New 
York Times. The New York Worid 
was a marked success. In 1833 the 
New York Sun was established and 
in 1868 Chas. Anderson Dana bought 
a controlling interest in the paper. 
There has been said that there are 
but ten great newspaper properties in 
the United States. 
The Boston Globe is considered tne 
leading paper of that city, and was 
organized in the early seventies with 
a capital of $300,000. Later taken 
over by Gen. Taylor. The Boston 
Post leads in circulation. .In 1805, 
F. M. Stanwood became manager of 
the Boston Journal. The Boston 
Transcript has for a lang time been 
owned by the Duttons. The Mandells 
of Wenham and Boston, are now 
greatly interested in that paper. 
Mr. Stanwood also spoke of the 
famous “Carleton Letters,” and of 
the inauguration “write-up” of Grant 
by Edmond Yates for the New York 
Herald. Lady correspondents were 
admitted to the field only a compara- 
tively few years ago and proved a 
great success for certain lines of 
work. 
A large majority of the people do 
not appreciate the power of the press. 
The cost of news to the public is at a 
very low minimum. System, care, 
and good judgment are all acquired in 
the production of a newspaper. By 
reading carefully anyone of the large 
daily papers your receive news from 
all over the world. The system in 
which this news is gathered together 
was one of the most interesting parts 
of Mr. Stanwood’s talk. The work of 
the Associated Press was also ex- 
plained. 
The usual collation was served, con- 
sisting of ice-cream and cookies, a 
treat by Mr. Stanwood.
