THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Delay has been encountered in es-
tablishing the school OF Journalism

Joseph Pulitzer. because OF the inanil-
fly OF the executors and the Column
bia university authorities to agree
upon proper methods OF Instruction.
says the Cincinnati Times-Star. The
former favor severely practical train
Ing, while the latter would lay great
er stress upon the teaching OF under
lying theories. Il is known that Mr..
Pulitzer wished TO have theory and
practice combined, but unfortunately
he said nothing as to the proportion
of each in the combination. he left
that problem to be worked out by otn-
ers. While it will have 10 be admitted
that there would have been little real
progress in this world OF ours had IT
not been for the theorists. most per
sons will be inclined to the belief
that an ounce OF practice is worth
pound of theory In most OF the actiVi-
ties OF life. Especially would this be
the case with a school OF Journalism.
There It is proposed to educate young
men for newspaper careers. That
they should be taught something OF
the fundamental theories OF journal
ism there can be no doubt. but unless
they were also taught a great deal OF
the practical side OF newspaper work
no careers would be waiting for them.
The average editor may admire fine
theories immensely. but in practice he
likes experienced men on his stan.
