The World publishes the latest news about the women and men who are
prominent in New York and in all social centres. It tells not only of
the entertainments the fashionable and wealthy give for their own
amusement, but of those they hold to aid the charities they maintain.
Weddings, the first appearance of debutantes, theatre parties, all the
diversions of those who are worthy of mention, are described precisely
and picturesquely in the columns of this newspaper. So are receptions to
official personages—in a word, all the functions where culture and good
taste are displayed.
_WOMEN IN NATIONAL REFORMS_
The World, since the inception of the woman’s movement, has chronicled
the advance of women in organization from the small individual club
working for development along conventional lines to the great federated
bodies who throw the influence of educated and enlightened womanhood on
the side of national reforms. The germ of practically all philanthropic
endeavor has either sprung from or been promoted by organized women, and
the columns of The World bear ample testimony to the detailed care with
which these ambitions have been aided by publicity.
_AVIATION_
As a forward-looking newspaper The World was prompt to see the
possibilities of aviation. The earliest experiments of the Wright
brothers at Killdevil Hill were reported by a staff correspondent, and
The World’s interest in the science of flying has been unflaggingly
demonstrated ever since. Glenn Curtiss’s historic flight from Albany to
New York, the longest accomplished up to that time, was stimulated and
rewarded by $10,000, the gift of The World.
When the war broke out in 1914 The World was promoting in all possible
ways the cause of civilian aviation, notably by lending its columns and
aid generously to the projected transatlantic flight for which Mr.
Curtiss was building a machine. Since the armistice it has continued to
display its faith in the future of flying. The Pulitzer Trophy, one of
the handsomest ever designed for a flying event, attracted to Mitchel
Field, Mineola, this year an unprecedentedly large field of fast
aviators. As a consequence of this meet American interest in the speed
possibilities of the airplane will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
_THE BUREAU OF ACCURACY AND FAIR PLAY_
A Bureau of Accuracy and Fair Play has been maintained by The World
since July 7, 1913. Its objects, as stated by Ralph Pulitzer in the
order creating it, are:
“To promote accuracy and fair play, to correct carelessness and to
stamp out fakes and fakers.”
