Why a School of journalism?
hicago Inter Ocean.

+ rom the SniCdSo inter ocedn
A dispatch from New York says that
plans for the new building of the Pulit-
ger school of journalism at Columbia
university have been filed with the city
building officials for approval We sup
nose that since Mr.. Pulitzer has left the
money for that purpose they are bound to
have a school of Journalism. But we are
frank TO confess that we can't see the use
of such an institution. Why, every one
knows how to run newspaper. 1t Is, In
| fact. the one thing that everybody does
know One doesn't have to stay in the
newspaper business very long to learn
that
The editor who doesn't come down to
his office in the morning and find several
letters telling him exactly how he ought
| to conduct the newspaper to make it a
success Is we are convinced, rare eX-
ception in the profession.
And these kind suggestions are not al
WAYS written. A good many people con-
yey them verbally for fear they will be
ances frequently shed their reserve long
enough to tell an editor personally how
the sheet ought to be run.
II is quite true that these bits of val
uable advice vary considerably. They
range all the way from suggesting that
| the nuhIication of three or four columns
about a children's picnic Is the only true
and royal road to success to the solemn
assurance that the reprlnting OF long
and complimentary personal notice about
some person or other is, all things con-
sidered. the proper thing for really
progressive newspaper to do.
When these suggestions do not con-
tain a plainly audible personal note they
generally connect themselves with some
great "cause" dear to the suggester' $
| heart It is strange but true that the mo-
ment some people become taken up with a
great cause they begin to think of
helping the newspapers out They can't
l. bear to think Of their losing the chance to
make themselves tremendously popular
and successful by printing column after
lcolumn about this or that "moYement.'

Difficult Undertaking.

OF course the principal difficulty to be
encountered In an undertaking of this ma
ture Is the fact that there is no definite
basis Of comparison, since the number Of
files that were In existence at the time
The Stars first campaign last summer
was begun Is but matter Of conjecture.
However DR.. Woodward believes that if
householders generally will communicate
with the health department, giving an
estimate of the number of insects with
which they have been annoyed this sum-
mer, as compared with that of a year
ago. it will be possible to arrive at a
fairly conservative estimate of the extent
to which the fly population as a whole
has been reduced.
With citizens supplying this informa-
ton. Dr. Woodward is of the opinion that
the influence of the campaign now being
waged In bringing about the abolition OF
the insect horde may be ascertained by
placing sticky fly paper in public places.
principally around markets and provision
ing centers, and keeping daily record of
the number of flies caught 1t is planned
to provide frames SO that fresh sheets of
the fly paper can be inserted in them each
day. Inspectors of the health department
probably will have charge of this phase
Of the census

Thousands Killed Daily.

The delivery Of thousands of flies daily
to the campaign headquarters in the mu-
nicipal building is having tremendous
effect, as health officials know. in cutting
down the present size OF the fly popula-
ton and holding in check the develop
ment of future generations, but so far,
DIR. Murray, supervisor of the campaign.
has had no way of estimating the rate
at which the pest horde is diminishing on
the basis of the number of flies destroyed
I'm proportion to the number remaining.
The census. II is believed will establish
approximately the percentage rate of de-
crease.
There can be no doubt but that Wash
ington's fly population this summer Is
much smaller than ii was last year" said
DR.. Woodward today. This condition
appears to exist in every section of the
city, and to such extent that 1t has
attracted general attention. Cnfavorable
weather conditions at the beginning of
spring, may have had something to do
with It, but The Stars campaign of last
summer and the cleanup campaign under
the auspices Of The Star in April. this
year. which resulted in the elimination of
many breeding places of flies, undoubted-
ly are the principal factors.
The fly census contemplated, whatever
it may prove with respect to the reduced
size of the insect tribe this summer will
give US a basis of comparison to go on

Layton H. Burdette of the Industrial
Home School. who with his band of
"swatters'' Is out for the record Of a
million flies destroyed this month, is ap-
proximately 10000 points nearer the goal
as a result of the delivery of about that
many flies to DIR. Murray yesterday. Bur-
dettes record for the month is now more
than 7O0,G,D insects destroyed. Yester-
days deliveries did not make any change

Plans for a fly census in connection
with The Stars anti-fy campaign are
being considered by DIR. William c.
Woodward. District health officer The
census will be for the purpose of indicat-
ing to what extent the fly population has
been reduced since the local crusades
against the insect were begun.
Several methods have been proposed.
with the one likely to be adopted two
fold arrangement contemplating corpora
ton between citizens and officials of the
health department. Under this plan
householders will be asked to transmit
to the department an estimate of the
number Of flies that have gained entrance
to their homes this season as compared
with last.
DR.. Woodward is convinced that there
are fewer flies in Washington now than
there have been in years. Communica-
tons he has received from prominent
physicians and sanitarians who have
been interested in the fight against the
fly have coincided with his views in this
respect. The fly census will be the first
effort to determine by reliable methods
the extent to which the population OF dis
ga se-carryinP insects has been reduced

WHEN n IS Is BELOW,

When the mercury is at IS below
and the wind strong out Of the north,
people are mostly too busy feeding
their own furnaces and looking after
their own troubles to thing of others.
A cold spell always brings hardship.
It is hard to bear With plenty of coal
in the bin, warm clothing and unlim-
tied credit at the grocery store. How
do those who have little coal, small
credit. or none at all. scanty clothing
and who live perforce in cheap sieve
like houses live thru week or more
| of savage winter weather?
It's good time to think OF this.
Given a breadwinner out of work.
FAMILY of four or six. rent due. coal
low, food scanty, clothing insufficient,
what is likely to be the lot and condi-
ton Of that family? The man of fam
lily who earns couple OF dollars a
day and lives on it is never far from
dire need. Sickness or loss Of employ
ment means the end of the world until
health returns or new job is secured.
Given a lack of thrift, bad habits any
khing you will which handicaps him

It il easy to see his deficiencies, nat
uraI enough to point them out. but all
eigns fail in dry time and cold
kpell is no time to balance deficiency
and incapacity against need He is as
he Is; the weather is 90 below zero:
The conditions exist and come to a
