Excerpt from The Country Weekly: A Manual for the Rural Journalist and for Students of the Country Field

The purpose of this book is to open the whole subject of the problems and possibilities of the country field. It is written to show the journalistic neophyte that there are chances in the country field which are worth while from every point of view. It is written, too, to suggest plans and possibilities to men who are already in the field; to encourage a vigorous effort among country editors to do their utmost to make country journalism a bigger, more vital thing than it has heretofore been.

It is not the author's purpose to present this manual as a definitive, authoritative guide. The newer aspects of country journalism are so imperfectly comprehended, the technic so far from standardized that no one could hope to present a wholly scientific treatise. If the book arouses discussion, if it induces thought, if it presents the problems of the country field, it will amply have achieved its purpose.

The chapter on cost finding is an attempt to show: (l) the need of a reliable cost system in country offices; and (2) the comparative simplicity of such a system. Actual filled-in forms from a country shop are reproduced and discussed in order to make the explanation clear. It is not claimed that the figures given are correct.
