mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis-
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach. kidneys, liveror

may be those of weakened nerves, as tired

Journalism

Such in brief is the life story of this
man who has decided to do his part
toward giving the budding newspaper
man the educational start which ne
himself lacked. In pursuance OF Mr.
Pulitzer's offer, which has been ac-
cepted by Columbia university, arcni-
tects are already at work on plans
for the new building, which 1t ID
thought will stand in the university
quadrangle on Amsterdam avenue.
New York, Immediately south of Fayer-
weather hall 1t is hoped that every-
thing win be In readiness for the fac
ulty to begin classes in the autumn Of
1904. The estimated cost of the build-
ing fully equipped is about $500, 900, the
remaining 100000 going to it's sup
port. and Mr.. Pulitzer has promised
that If at the end of three years the
school is proving its usefulness he will
give Columbia another 81. 600. 900. half OF
the income of which is also to go to the
maintenance of the school, while the
other half will be spent as Mr.. Pulitzen
and the trustees of the university may
later decide. Between now and the
opening of the school an advisors
board. to be appointed by the titus
tees on Mr.. Pulitzer's nomination, will
aid in devising a course OF instruction
that will meet every requirement in
newspaper work. Already the names of
some OF the members of the board have
been made public, and as the list In
cludes such men as President Butler of
Columbia, President Eliot of Harvard,
Whitelaw Reid of the New York Trib-
une, John Hay, secretary of state; st.

guarded against If the new school prop
erly fulfiIls its mission, for once within
its walls a man will surely soon find
himself and learn whether or no he
has chosen a fitting career. If he find
that he cannot throw himself heart
and soul into even the more humble of
journalistic and more especially repor-
torial tasks, he would better abandon
all thought of continuing his studies,
for there is no place for the unenthust-
astic in the newspaper world
What testides perhaps more strongly
than anything else to the Importance
of the school of journalism Is the fact
that it's founder is himself pre-eminent-
ly a product of the school of experience.
When Joseph Pulitzer landed in New
York from Hungary in 1864 he was a
penniless lad He tried his hand at all
manner of work, drifted to Missouri
and was eventually given a start in
a newspaper Office in st. Louis. AL
though he lacked education and could
speak English but indifferently, he was
a success from the start of his news
paper career. From reporter he be-
came managing editor, chief editorial
writer ard finally part owner of the
paper. Then he took a rest in a long
visit to Europe. Returning to st. Louis.
he bought two afternoon papers and
consolidated them into the Post-Dis-
patch. Although wiseacres shook their
heads the Pulitzer paper within five
years was paying its owner remark
able profit.
Then it was that the whilom poverty
stricken lad began to cast his eyes to
the American city that had been first
to greet him as an immigrant. May
10, 1883, he bought the New York World
from Jay Gould. paying the hnancier
the sum of $34g. 900. Again it was said
that Pulitzer was taking upon his
shoulders more than he could carry,
but again he proved that the croakers
were false prophets. Year by year he
added to his revenue until he was en-
abled to spend nearly 81. 0o0, 900 on what
has since been known as the World
building. which when first erected was
one of the wonders Of New York.

Bobs spent over forty years of a use
full life in India, his every act endear-
ing him to the colonial soldiery and to
the people of England. Never an over
strict disciplinarian, he yet held a tight
rein, his troopers respect for him being
increased not only by many acts of
humanity and kindness, but by the
knowledge that he had not known
the bitterness of defeat. When he paid
a visit to England he was feted and
Toasted as never British general had
been before him, and when he was
finally ordered home all India mourned
his departure. AS commander general
in ireland Bobs continued to add to his
popularity, but he attained the zenith
of his career when, on the very day
that he learned of the death of his only
son at Colenso, he began his task of
rehabilitating the military prestige of
Great Britain, prestige that had suf-
fered so severely by reason of the many
defeats in South Africa. 1t is as the
victor of South Africa that Bobs is
