Tho long square apron of whlto silk is pinked

Folds of silk extend on tho Bides of tho skirt,
while others are carried along thooutsldo

high collar and its douhlo row of velvet but

When tho dress nud Its trimmings are en

I am glad to know Cornell unlvorslty Is to
establish a dojwrtment of Journalism next
Soptemlier 1 havo nlwnys claimed that
Journalism could lie taught In universities
nnd colleges just as successfully an nny other
nthlotlo exercisui Of courso you cannot
tench n boy how to Jork n ginnt Journal from
tho clutches of decay nnd mnko of it a robust
and rlpsnortlug simper nnd trimmer of pub
lic opinion, In whoso counting room oople
will walk all over each othor in tholr mad
efforts to Insert advertisements. You cannot
tench this In n school nny moro than you can
teach n boy how to discover tho opon Polar
sen, but you can teach him tho rudiinontaand
snvo him a good deal of timo oxporimontlng
with hlmsolf.
Hoys siend small fortunes and tho host
years of tholr lives learning tho simplest
truths in relation to Journalism. Wo groo
on blindly, learning this yonr perhaps how
to distinguish an Italic shooting stick when
wo soo it, or how to eradicate typo lice from a
standing gnlloy, learning noxt year bow to
sustain llfo on an annual pass and a samplo
early roso potato weighing four pounds and
moasurlng elovon inches in circumference
This Is n slow and tedious way to obtain
Journalistic training. If this can bo avoided
or abbreviated it will be n groat boon.
As I understand It tho department In Cor
nell unlvorslty will not deal so much with
actual nowspapor oxporienco as it will with
construction and stylo in writing. This Is
certainly n Kood move, for wo must ndmlt
Hint wo can improvo vory croatlv our stvlo
nnd tho purity of our English. For instance
I seloct an oxchnngo nt random, and on tho
telegraphic mgo I find tho dotalls of a hor
rlblo crime. It seoms that an old lady, who
lived by herself almost, and who had nmnjwod
between $10 nnd $17, was awakoncd by nu
n&snMln, dragged from hor bod and cruelly

"Drug from her bod nnd munloredl" This
Is Incorrect in orthography, syntax nnd
prosody, bad In form nnd Inelegant in stylo.
Carefully parsing tho word drug ns It o
liours hero, 1 find that It does not ngrco with
anything In number, gendor or person. I do
not llko to critlclso tho stylo of othors whon
I know that my own is so faulty, but I am
sure that tho word drug should not bo used
In this way
Ex-Mayor Henry C. Robinson, of Hart
fonl, Conn., If 1 nm not mistakou, suggested
n school of Journalism nt lonst twelve years
ago, but it did not meet witli immediate and
practical Indorsement Now Cornell comes
forward and seems to bo in oarnost nnd 1 am
glad of It The Icttcra received from day to
lay by odltors, and written to thorn by men
engaged In othor pursuits, practically admit
and provo that thero is not now in oxlstcnco
an editor who knows onougb to carry II vor to
a boor.
That Is tho reason why evory mentis should
bo used to pull this profession out of tho
miro of dense Ignoranco and place it upou
tho high, dry soil which leads to gonius nnd
consanguinity
Tho abovo paragraph I quota from a
treatiso on Journalism which I wrote Just be
foro 1 knew anything about It
Tho life of tho Journalist is a hard ono,
and, although it Is not so trying as tho life of
tho nowspapor man, it is full of trials and
orploxltlc.s. If nowspapor mon and Journal
ists did not stand by each other I do not
know what Joy thoy would havo. Kindness
for each other, gontloness and gonoroslty.
ovon in tholr rivalry, characterize tho con
duct of a largo number of thorn.
Tlicro aro many reasons why tho establish
ment of a department of Journalism at Cor
uell will bo n good move, and I believe that
whilo It will not tako tho placo of actual ox
porionco, It will Vbrve to shorten tho approu
ticcshlp of a young nowgpner iiinn and tho
fatigue of starting tho amateur in Journal
ism will bo divided botwoen the managing

aspiring sons of wealthy parents a chance to
