ter importance than his name--which is seldom.

The simplest form of the speaker beginning is the one in which the
speaker's name is followed directly by a summary of what he said, as:

| Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of |
|Leland Stanford Junior University, said |
|yesterday at the Holland House that in |
|the development of American universities |
|educators must separate the lower two |
|classes from the upper two, the present |
|freshman and sophomore classes to be |
|absorbed by small colleges or |
|supplemental high schools, making the |
|junior year the first in the university |
|training. He said the universities should |
|receive only men, not boys.--_New York |
|Tribune._ |

Another kind of speaker beginning may devote most of the lead to the
explanation of the reason for the interview, giving the briefest
possible summary of what was said: Thus:

| Director Lang of the department of |
|public safety is going to place a ban on |
|the playing of tennis on Sunday. He |
|doesn't know just yet how he is going to |
|accomplish this, but yesterday he |
|declared that he would find some law |
|applicable to the case.--_Pittsburgh |
|Gazette-Times._ |

One step further brings us to the entire exclusion of the result of the
interview from the lead. In this case the reason for the interview
occupies the entire lead and we must read part of the second paragraph
to find what the man said; thus:

| Charles F. Washburn, Richmond Hill's |
|wizard of finance, promises to appear at |
|his broker's office in Newark, N. J., |
|this morning with a fresh bank roll, |
|accumulated since the close of the market|
|on Saturday. |

| (The second paragraph tells what it is |
|all about and the third quotes his |
|words.)--_New York World._ |

It is to be noted that in each of the above leads the speaker's name is
