physician to attend their child who died

EDITORS ENDORSE SCHOOL OF
JOURNALISM.

The Associated Press gave warm and
hearty approval of Mr.. Pulitzer's large
gift to establish a school of journalism.
1t put on record that it recognized the
demand for more thorough training in
the branch of education most necessary
to a journalistic career" That state
ment voices the view of American jour-
nalsts and ought to cause the fiippant
paragraphists to quit trying to make
light of a school of journalism. The As
ISOLATED Press embraces in its member
ship the greatest journalists in America.
Many of them obtained their position or
and had no training in the school of ex-
perience, but they see and feel the need
of a school which will help to train
young men for a journalistic career.
There is as much need of a school to
teach journalism as any other profession,
and it is gratifying to see that the As
ISOLATED Press recognizes the need.
Mr.. Pulitzer was educated in the hard
school of practical experience. He began
as reporter without an assignment and
made his way by reason of his prodlglous
industry and newspaper genius. II any
man in Journalism has the right to sheer
at a school of journalism that man Is
Mr. Pulitzer. He could say without
criticism: '.Itnever went to any school OF
Journalism, and if could succeed with
out it SO can young men of this genera
ton" That is the kind of talk you
always hear from egotistical self-made
men, They go about telling how they
succeeded and saying that any young
man can succeed the same way if he
will work as hard and as intelllgently.
Men who talk this way as a rule are men
who are dependent very largely upon
environment and circumstance, as well as
upon their own ability, for their success.
Men like Mr. Pulitzer, who are of larger
mould do not fail to recognize that they
had help in the way of special opportuni-
ties and the assistance of strong men, and
they wish to make as easy as possible
the way for young men who come after
them.
Mr.. Pulitzer knows very well, while the
avenues are not blocked. that at the pres
ent time no young man similarly circum-
stanced in the city of st. Louis, could do
what he did in that city in the years
following the war. And he knows. too,
that conditions in New York journalism
have changed since he purchased the New
York World. He is not wanting IN self
confidence, but his vanity is not of the
over-weening sort that enables him to
say, what l have done any man can
do Therefore. in his ripe wisdom having
attained the pinnacle of success, Mr..
Pulitzer has furnished the means to es-
tablish school of journalism that will be
of lasting blessing, not only to young men
who look to journalism as profession,
but also to all men who are interested in
increasing the usefulness and power OF
the press-the mighty fulcrum of the
nineteenth century
