Journalism a Practical Work.

Now comes the University of Penn
sylvania with its four year course de-
signed to prepare youngmen for news
paper work. The success of Cornell
in its journalistic department has not
been SO great that the University of
Pennsylvania should follow its ex-
ample. Journalism being n practical
work of life, previous theoretical
preparation can do little more than
spoil young men who want to follow u
newspaper career; a school of journal
ism is very different from a trade
school. A knowledge of men is of far
more use to reporter than q knowl-
edge OF books. SO far, at least, in the
worlds history, journalism has not
been dependent upon the universities
for the great majority of its best men.
Nor has Cornell been able to show that
this rule is likely to change. New

The Secretary OF W'r orders tho Con-
struotion of Additional Buildings.
Capt. Howard, constructing quartermas-

d .tional buildings at Fort Ethan Allen:
Orc hospital,
Two double sets non commissioned staff

Ono fuel storehouse.
One shop building.
One quartermaster' stable.
One blacksmith shop of five FORCES.
The work on the hospital building must be

contractors with one exception, visited the
city ami made preparations to begin the
carrying out of their various contracts in
about two weeks.
The extra appropriation OF $50, 900, to

The Win ham County Plan.
From the Springfield Republican,

L rom the springfield epuDllChn.
What is called the Wndham county plan
of settling postotiice contests is exciting the
bourbon element in Nermont's democracy
This plan consists in submitting to popular
vote the claims of rival applicants. 1t will
be gvon a practical test to-day in Wards
csnts for the place Of postmaster made va
cant by resignation have obtained about
the same number Of names to their petitions.
Both appealed to the local member of the
State democratic committee, w. II. Childs,
and lie refers the question to caucus Of all
the voters irrespective Of party. 1t is said
that ma jority of the State committee in
dorse the plan where there is any contest
for postoflice. The applicants to be voted
for are Of course supposed to be democrats.
As the Windham County Reformer says,
this falls short Of the ideal plan in that
it fails to give unlimited choice as to
candidates, irrespective of party, but it
is step in the right direction. OF
course the bourbons don't like it, because
it breaks into the monopoly of the
offices which the bosses wish to exercise
without regard to the public's wishes. The
plan Is also a vast improvement over that
which Congressman Circuit had introduce d
during the last administration. His idea
was to confne the caucus as well as the can
didates to republicans. But that did not
work always as he wanted it to--ns in the
case OF the Brattleboro contest when the
republican caucus voted TO keep in the etii-
cient democratic postmaster f. w. Childs.
