endowment fund Of $1.ooo.ooo for the
school Is the first step Of the under
taking and a nationwide movement
Is under way to raise this sum.
Bishop Lawrence states that In
raising this fund his interest Is not
merely In obtaining the money for
the Theological School. but also that
the people may be given a new idee
of the ministry as a calling which
demands the best efforts the most
vigorous young men Of the country
can give.
The church. he says. needs re
juvenation and a revitalized minis
try. This must start by inducing
the best young men of the country
to enter the service. The strengthen
ing Of the Episcopal Theological
School at Cambridge. which Is af
filiated with Harvard and has the
same high standards as the graduate
schools of that university, Bishop
Lawrence says, Is a step in the right
direction.

NEWSPAPER EDUCATION.

1t remained for Ed Howe, the philoso-
pher of Atchinson, Kan, to coin the
phrase, "a newspaper education" 1t
has never occurred to most people how
many there are in this country who pos
esS just that kind of education.
There must be millions of them. They
may have finished public school or not.
but they are primarily graduates of the
while press. 1t furnishes almost all of
their reading and most of their topics of
conversation. 1t is not merely the me-
dunn which brings to them news of the
outside world. To them it represents
culture. 1t also plays an ever-growing
Part in the mental life of those whose
schooling has been more extensive.
That is Il SOLDERING thought TO any
newspaper editor. 1t invites much
Understanding as to whether the press
IS living up 10 the standards called for
in any such powerful instrument of edu-
cation.
The usual verdict Of the newspaper
Observation-Disclosures the other profess
sions may feel about it's that the
press, as a whole, is really doing this
very thing, and serving the public need
and contributing to the shaping of the
public mind to the best of it's ability.
Any editor will grant that there is
much of light or fippant or otherwise
undesirable nature in the present-day
press. but will urge that Il press that
was perfect according to the notion of
highbrow rcformers would never have
enough readers to support it. Editors
are driven to the practical conclusion
that human nature has 20 be taken as It
is INDUCED moderately in its harmless
foibles and led on very gradually to any
high degree Of serious education or cul-
ture.
With all it's faults. the American
press today is probably more honest and
fair. and certainly prints a far larger
amount OF interesting, true and valuable
information, than any other press has
ever done in this or any other age
