NR. PAGES SUGGESTIONS


Hampden- Sidney College, one OF the
most transformations. secluded, quietly,
efficient and conservative institutions of
learning in the country is TO take the
lead in a new departure in education. and
yesterday decided to establish Il depart
ment for the training Of writer's for pub
lication. No college or university in the
United States has such a department.
Many have chairs of bellies lettres and
rhetoric, but none undertake 10 educate
mon for practical newspaper, magazine
and book work. Mr.. Pulitzer, Of the New
York World, undertook to found Il school
of Journalism for Columbia, College, New
York, but his suggestion has not been
nut into effect. Virginia will offer the
young men OF the country who intend to
make writing their vocation tho first and
only opportunity for special instruction
and expert leadership in their work.
The Innovation Is the direct result OF
addresses delivered at Richmond Col
lcge by Walter Page, OF North Carolina,
editor Of the Worlds Work.
Mr. Joseph T. McAllistcr, Of Hot
Springs, Va, heard parts of these i'd
dresses and was much impressed. .by them.
Therefore he gave smuCn Lllne anu tHoubht Y

lie submitted to the trustees OF IIanlpden-

special meeting held Mt the Jefferson

The trustees unanimously accepted this
proposition With u few changes, sub"
stnntially as follows:
Mr.. McAlllster begins by referring TO
the addresses before Richmond College
of Mr. Page, OF the Worlds Work and
Doubleday, Page & Company, THE pnr-
pose Of these addresses" I" no says. was
to show the need for some Virginia col
lcge establishing department to cdu-
cate young men for the profession of
writing, and the advantages and benefits
which would accrue. both to tho State
and to tho college, from such depart
ment. rs well as tho advantages to the
