 men. any more than we can guaran- tee to produce good engineers or good teachers; but we can and will train students to become such if they have the root of the matter in them''
 Thus spoke Nicholas Murray But Ter, president of Columbias Univer- sity, today in regard to the future of the School of Journalisn to be found ed under gift, of $1,000,oo0 by the late Joseph Pulitzer.
 Since the death of Mr. Pulitzer, when the endowment became avail able, this is the problem that con- fronts Columbia educators: "How can we so equip class of young men-inexperienced. but ambitious, to become journalists--that at the completion of their studies. they may cover a fire or write editorials with equal facility?'
 Frequent conferences between the trustees and advisory board. com posed of newspaper editors appoint ed by MT. Pulitzer before his death, school before next year. is regarded as impossible. =
 with the establishment of School of Journalism a new academic field is entered upon." said President But Ter today. Although, in sense, it
 
 cials. backed by a large portion of the influential press, believes the school will be abundantly successful.
 'If journalism is a calling that re- quires no previous training, it must be an exception to all other trades .dent Butler when it was suggested that newspaper men are born, not made With MT. Pulitzer he believes that "the only position in our repub- lie a man can fill by the simple fact of birth is that of an idiot"
 the surest foundation for usefulness in any career Dr. Butler said. Practical experience. we'll analysed and we'll understood, is also of prime importance. But between these two lie the study of principles and prac- sidiary information which must be drawn upon and the practice, under criticism, which gives, the beginner the benefit of the experience of othl CTS. All these the University can fur nish for Journalism as it furnishes them for engineering or teaching" President Butler believes that exper- fenced editors should-have charge of instructing pupils in the scientific study of Journalism itself, after they have acquired firm grounding in all branches that necessarily must be subsidiary. MT. Pulitzer in de- fense of his school of Journalism. ment, suggested this plan, and it un- doubtedly will be carried out when the institution is organized.
 'In organizing and carrying on the school of Journalism" said President Butler on this point. we have the gestions and criticisms of an advisory board composed of prominent jour nalists having expert knowledge on the subject"
 While the plans for the operation of the school are yet in a more or the suggestions of Mir. Pulitzer re- garding the courses to be pursued will be followed to a great extent. Copies of the. great editors defense of his Journalistic school theory have been sent to all prospective students and others who have made inquiries about the plan.
 The curriculum outlined by MT. Pulitzer in this document included: The principles of law, as pertains to the profession of journalism; litera- ture with special reference to the literature of politics; the study of truth and accuracy and the art of be- ing able to find facts when they are required, rather than cramming a student full of them in school; his tory, Wltn rCIerence to the rise ana fall of nations and the making and breaking of great public, institutions; economies; modern languages to such an extent that it will give a news paperman access to- other than his native tongue; the ethics of journal ism, for. said MT. Pulitzer, above all else there lies it's moral sense, cour- age and integrity"
 MT. PulitZer's plan, and the plan that probably will be adopted by the university, regarding the study of is as follows; according to President Butler: Have twenty or more editors, either retired or in ac- tive work, give course of lectures on the daily newspapers, pointing out to the students the good and the bad points in each; have the students get out a paper of their own under a city editor who will wield pen as ruth lessly as real editor does, but who would do what the real city editor has no time to do-tell why he did it; teach the pupils that it is not type nor presses nor advertising that makes a newspaper, but brains, con- science and character, working out to public Service.''
