But later it was done, and since then journalistic in struction has advanced with con stantly increasing momentum until now instruction in journalism is of fered in more than fifty colleges and universities.

After an animal has been assigned him he im mediately starts preparing it to pas's the closest scrutiny given by any judge, and also trains it to show to the very best advantage. Everyone is assured of as good an animal as his rival. However, the judges pay no at tention to the quality of the animal but judge only the condition in which it has been fitted and the way it is shown.
