THE STONE REJECTED.

For years it had been trampled in the
street
OF Florence by the drift of needless feet
The stone that Buonarroti made confess
That shape you know, that marble lowell
ness.
You mind the tale-how he was passing by
When the rude marble caught his Jovian
eye,
That stone men had dishonored and had
thrust
Out to the insult of the wayside dust.
He stoopt to lift it from its mean estate
And bore it on his shoulder to the gate,
Where all day long a hundred hammers
rang;
sang,
Till suddenly the hidden angel shone
That had been waiting, prisoned In the
stone.
Thus came the .cherub with the laughing
face
That long had lighted up an altar place

TREND OF JOURNALISNf.


conference of newspaper men to
discuss the trend of modern Journal
ism, the ideals of the profession and
the conditions existing in the profess
SION has been held at the University
OF Wisconsin. The call for such a con-
ference asserted that three important
tnlngs are taking place in modern
Journalism; that the amount of capt.
tai required to conduct a modern
newspaper is constantly increasing. so
that as a result newspapers are fre-
quehlly owned by men with money
IdCher than with ideas; that news
papers are being forced to greater de-
t psnuence on advertising and that
mere is growing endeavor on the
part or advertisers to Influence the
news and editorial policies of the pa
pers, and that the newspaper is COM
ing 10 De an investment and not in
frequently is run merely to serve the
business, social or political Interests
OF Its owners. The most obvious fea-
ture- or the discussion seems TO he
that the characteristics enumerated as
aPPlyihg TO many newspapers are not
peculiar alone to Journalism, but to
all OF the other professions. At the
very outset, is journalism a profess
sion or is it commercial business?
FOR many years many newspaper men
nave Claimed that trained men in their
calling had as much right to be con-
sidered followers of a profession as
those OF the traditional three learned
professions, law, medicine and theoI-
ogy This claim by newspaper writers
to belong to a profession as much as
physicians, lawyers and clergymen has
been based upon the facts that there
are fundamentals and special training
required that this technical training
must be followed by years of actual
practice and that the newspaper pur-
suit, like the other professions, deals
with human nature. The first feature
named is that it takes money to run
a modern newspaper, and the more
money there is available the bigger
swath does the paper cut But what
about the influential law firms, what
about the doctors and what about the
clergymen? Do not all of the pro-
fesSions reflect the commercial spirit
OF the age?-Wichita Eagle.

,1UEER SCHOOLS ABROAD

Nowadays there are schools of all
sorts. Not only do institutions where
curious subjects are taught abound in
Great Britain. but they are to be found
abroad as well. In st. Petersburg for
example, there is an institution where
young men training for service as no.
lice make a special study of the fools
used by professional thieves. There is a
class devoted solely to the study OF
forgery with particular reference to
the classifying of signatures on nass-
ports. At Monte Carlo, a school for
croupiers is conducted. During the
summer months aspirants for the office
of croupier learn the operations of the
gaming tables. Each pupil must, from
time to time, while others are inner
sonating players and making wagers,
conduct the game and learn how in
stantIy to pay out the winning stakes.
Six months tuition is generally neces-
sary. In Brussels there is a school
for the instruction of grave diggers. All
candidates for appointment as sections
throughout Belgium must pass an ex-
ANIMATION at this school before they
can obtain employment as grave dig
gers.-London Answers
