says:
That feature OF expansive liberality most at
traotive and striking to an editor is the pro.
posal to appoint to tcee scholarship and the
advantages Of the college certain number OF
young men who propose to make journalism
their profession. This is the first distin,t re !.
cognition ever m.'de by theso-oalled Centres of
Wisdom OF the true dignity aud Importance of
the press. r acknowiedRes It's Importance on
the weal and love Of the country; and shows
q wish to aid In its elevation by the education
OF those who are to serve in its ranks. It ac-
cepts 1t as q coadjutor In public instruction,
aud fraternizes with those who perform it's
functions as minister's &C the altar or ki,owl-
edge. It oercelves in It something beyond q
chronicle OF small beer, a destiny that even
nov Affects the welfare OF mankind and In the
future stretches towards the infinite We
hope to See fuller eIposi ion of the value OF
this scheme aud OF it's capabilities for good.
