HISTORY FROM NEWSPAPERS.
A recent discussion in Berlin regarding tho historical value of newspapers has led tof tho organisation of an association for tho creation of a general record by means of cuttings from the daily press. After completing the necessary preliminary work, tho organisation will bo in active operation at tho beginning of this year. It has adopted tho title of "The German Newspaper Archives." It intends- to pieservo and classify cuttings of everything that may appear in tho German press that may have more than momentary interest, so that the collection shall bo of assistance both to those who are seeking for isolated items of information ana for those who intend to writo a partial or sx>ccialised history of tho time. In the beginning it is intended to, make a specialty of financial, industrial,' and labour questions, and social economics, but it is hoped that the scope of tho organisation may be greatly enlarged within the space of a year, and tho promoters hope that ultimately the usefulness of their undertaking may bo mado so.apparent that they will be able to make a successful application to tho State for financial support,
