Collecting mastheads from daily newspapers is the unusual hobby of Graham McKinney, a jupior. Asked why he chose this as a hobby, he said, "I am interested in newspaper work as a profesâ€" sion, so I wanted to do something through which I would learn more about newspapers." Graham says that he has, at present, over two hundred. They are from fortyâ€"two states, Great Britain, and Canada. This is quite a collectfon considering he started less than two years ago. His latest addition was the Coffeyville Daily Journal, from Coffeyville, Kansas. The masthead is the top part of the front page and it includes the name of the paper, the date, and the price. * He has three ways of securing study groups that would coâ€" operatively develop a credo for the principalship.

The first one is the way he started his collection. When traveling, he would get newspapers wherever he stopped, and, after reading them, cut out mmmmw and relatives learned of his k they started helping him. After these methods had helped him build up a large collection, he deâ€" cided that by writing to newsâ€" papers he could procure old copies. It is through this method, he feels, that he can continue his collection in coming years. As for the future of his collecâ€" tion, Graham hopes that -o/-eday he will have mastheads from all of the 1,000 or more daily papers in the United States.
