SCHOOLS FOR AUTHORS
ADVOCATED BY EDITOR,
Walter Hines Page, of The Worlds
Work, Tells How to Turn Out
Poets and Novelists.

CHICAGO, Aug. a.-schools for authors,
In which those Inclined toward literature
as a profession may become real poets
or noveiists. is the new proposal of Wall
ter Hines Page, editor of the Worlds
Work, for the uplift of literature in
America. He believes the colleges should
add to their departments postgraduate
courses in the art of writing, to stem the
tide Of poor competition.
Make the students write 1000 words a
day and hsist on the professor doing like
wise, Mr.. Page advises. The professors
need the training as badly as the litera-
teurs, he believes. Let the students keep
up the daily toll for three or four years,
by which time they will have written
twelve to sixteen volumes, and then If
they are good, admit them to the profess
sion. Mr., Pages views were expressed
at the University of Chicago yesterday
in the conyocation address of the sixty
fourth graduating exercises of the insti-
tuition.
