paper of its own for practice Mr.. La
mont intimates that it is of no great
practical value because Its strict
amateur standing keeps it down to the
level of undergraduate publications.
Then he allows his fancy to roam in
this fashion:
Possibly Mr.. Pulitzer dreams Of
crowning his endowment by present
ing to Columbia the New York World,
TO be conducted as an ideal newspa-
per, a great medium of popular edu-
cation ard an unrivaled school of
practical journalism. Doubtless Pres
ident Butler would hesitate before the
difficulties Of the undertaking. There
would not only be a thousand vexa-
tious problems of management, but
the paper, in order to amount TO any
thing, would be forced to take sides
on every public question and would
drag the university into politics.
Despite such obstacles. President
Butler might argue that If a university
may maintain a hospital or a labora-
tory. it may also maintain a real news
paper as a journalistic laboratory"
Mr.. Lamont finds that there must be
a radical revision in the methods of
instruction in writing. The teaching
in colleges now is done by professors
and their assistants. The assistants
do the bulk of the drudgery and they
have been so busy correcting tons upon
tons of themes that they have become
erudite theorists The result is that
they have turned out students who
write sentences of tolerable correct
ness, but, instead of seizing upon the
significant points. they write a sub
ject TO the dregs, sprawl over illimi-
table space and bury interesting facts
under a mountain Of detail.
NEEDS OF JOURNALISM.
Without falling into the smartness
of some sorts of journalism" the
writer continues. the instruction
should run less to hair-splitting and
red tape and lay more stress on di-
rectness and brevity. To-day college
teachers, with a few notable excep-
tions have no clear understanding of
the needs of our best daily journal
ism.
In the school the teaching must be
done by expert copy readers. The
copy reader has been a reporter and
has been slashed numerically. He
early learned to display the salient
features of his news in the first SEN
tence or two He has had daily exer-
else in cutting a dull story of 1000
words TO an interesting one of 500
WoIuS- AltnouSn ne Is dcqudlnteu
with no treatises of style and his
knowledge of literature and linguistics
is not recondite, he never forgets that
tediousness is a cardinal SIM"
Mr.. Lamont has been an editor in
Albany, New York. and Seattle. Wash
ington, where he was connected with
the Post -Intelligencer. He taught Eng
lish at Harvard from 1892 to 1895 and
then went to Brown University as as

of full professor. His connection with

Adll,
11IS Broadway, March 2s.
Whyte Grondona, an Italian gar
dener, residing at Fifteenth and Wood
streets. has appealed 10 the police TO
find $1,000 which he says was stolen last
night from a trunk in his house where
he. as a temporary custodian for the
Scavengers' Union, had hidden the gold.
Fred SimOns, an employe Of the Cali
fornia Sash and Door Company, resid-
ing al 1l20 Wood street, is suspected of
the theft. Simons has disappeared.
The money represents a fund raised
by the scavengers TO fight the garba ge
crematory. A committee gave the coin
10 GrOndOna Saturday night 10 hold
until il could be put in a bank to-day.
SImOns, who was one OF Grondona's s
closest friends. saw the money in its
hiding place shortly after Grondona re-
ceived it.
Yesterday the gardener went on a
home he found that the trunk had been
broken open and the coin gone
Such is the explanation that Gron-
dOna has made t. the detectives. He
asserts positively that Simons was the
only person besides himself that knew
where the money had been hidden.
GrOndona claims that he counted the
gold in Simons' presence and told his
friend for what purpose il had been
collected
Thus far the detectives have failed
