JOURNALISM STUDY HAS
SPREAD VERY RAPIDLY
Since Pulitzer Founded Columbia
School Many Colleges Tench
Journnlism ns a Study.
Tlio first newspaper In English the
London Weekly News was published In
1622. The last one The Megaphone was
published at four o'clock this afternoon
three hundred years later. It Is only in the
last decade of these three centuries how-
ever that newspaper work has been taught
In the schools of the country.
In 1912 when the will of Joseph Pulit-
zer lato publisher of the New York World
was read it was found that Mr. Pulitzer
had left ono million dollars to Columbia
University. It was the wish of this gentle-
man that a School of Journalism a tiling
hitherto unheard of bo founded. The
school was an initial success however and
today has a capacity enrollment.
Within thrco years after the founding
of the Columbia School tho University of
Missouri and tho University of Wisconsin
followed suit. The journalism idea may
be said to have spread with greater rapid-
ity In tho West than in tho Eastern states.
Columbia is the only university established
before 1800 which offers work in journal-
ism. The State universities of California Tex-
as and Michigan soon established depart-
ments and by 1920 there were fifty-seven
institutions of collcgiato rank in the Unit-
ed States which offered special courses in
preparation for newspaper work.
In tho Southwest Southwestern Texas'
S. M. U. Baylor and Baylor College arc
the leaders in the field. While the Uni-
versity of Texas offers the largest number
of strictly professional courses the pri-
vate universities arc doing a great work
by acquainting a largo number of students
with the elements of journalism. Even
the high schools in large cities are begin-
ning to make tho fourth year English
course more practical by giving it a jour-
nalistic turn
Newspapermen for a number of years
denied that "the business" could be taught
in school. They had arrived at success
by the U. of H. N. route and thought that
the only course. The fact which these
men overlooked howeer is that journal-
ism is not only a business but an art
and a science.
With over one-third of the first class col-
leges offering courses in the study con-
stantly increasing in favor with newspaper-
men journalism can bo said to have had
enormous success in the short ten years-
Exchange.

"Now Mr. Stimpson" said the law pro-
fessor "will you please tell the class what
weight you would give to circumstantial
evidence?"
"I will sir" replied the student "if
you will tell mu whether I am supposed
to be prosecuting attorney or counsel for
the defendant." Times-Dispatch.
BAPTIST WOMEN ARE
OUT FOR 86000000.00
Wotnans Missionary Union Has Plan
For Increasing Denominational
Income this Spring.
Under the leadership of the general
officers of the Woman's Missionary Union
of tho Southern Baptist Convention the
Baptist women and young people of the
South Identified with tho W M. U. organ-
Izallono will seek to turn in to tho treas-
ury of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign
the sum of $6000000 between now and
May 1. The Union estimates that half of
the 500000 new members received by tho
Southern Baptist churches since beginning
of the Campaign are women and young
people cligiblo for membership In the W.
M. U. or its auxiliary bodies and the plan
proposes for the local missionary societies
in the various churccs to enlist its members
in either giving or getting $24 for each
new member among the women and young
people receded into the churches.
If 250000 women would give or get $24
each by May 1 it would provide $6000000
in cash. Approximately that sum will be
due on the pledges of the W. M. U. to the
Campaign by that time.

HEMONSTHANCE.
LAMENT.
liy T. M. Hart.
"How hao you spent tho golden das
That now ure gone forccr
In learning's quiet simple ways
Or pleasures' vain endeavor?"
So asks the sago with solemn face
And counsels us to fear
The dire results of pleasures' waste
That so beset us here.
Another message I desire
To give you if you will
And to my aid inyikc the lyre
That message to instill.
Chanson.
When all the world's in springtime bloom
And life is in its May
When songs of loe enchant tho night
And pleasures speed the day;
When nature calls the heart of youth
To worship at her shrine
To taste with her tho fruits of love
So sweeter far than wine;
Can lie resist her luring call
And spurn the jos she gives?
Can ho who learns know half the joa
That comes to him who lics?
So Spring is calling to the youth
To lio while yet he may
Such pleasures in a few brief years
Forever pass away.
When all the world's in springtime bloom
With flowers newly sprung
Oh that's tho time to live and love
When all the world is young.
Mercer Cluster.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day;
The gloomy stude plods slowly o'er the
lea;
The campus lights gleam faintly far away
And darkness cloaks my doleful misery.
'Twas but a very few short months before
I That I with all the confidence of youth
Had closed behind the Hall of Learnings
Door
And sought to find of Science all tho
truth.
Tomorrow when the dawn doth come anew
The whetting of the gruesome axe I'll
hear.
The axe which wielded by a hard-boiled
few
Doth make the sturdy student quake with
fear
And in the morn harsh noise will eleve
tho air
The sound of hammers driving iron nails
Which marks the scaffold done the block
laid bare;
Made ready for the hopeless stude who
fails.
You wonder why I do not try to cram?
Why still I sit and moan this mournful
dirgo?
I cannot hear tho thought of dread exam.
E'en now my brain of dates I cannot purge.
Tonight as on so many nights before
My ccs I'll close in search of fitful sleep.
All thru my dreams will dance that ghost-
ly score
Of spectres garbed in books and learning
deep.
In every nook and corner will they stand;
In solemn march they'll stalk around my
bed;
With rushes swift each member of that
band
Will fling himself arms open at my head
But I as in those countless nights gone by.
Shall fight them off with curses blows and
prayers;
Shall grasp and sob with tortured throat
gone dry
And beat them back tho' taken unawares.
I've been asleep Yc gods the day is here I
I've dreamed my last I'm almost at the
end.
Tho summons knell is ringing loud and
clear
Tis now too late for suppliant knee to
bend.
.-.... lni
I shall not let them see I dread "t
the end
They'll never know how much I fear and
fret;
But as I go I'll stop some passing
friend
And bum him for a soothing cigarette.
The Thresher.
Apologies to Gray. Jos. K. Kelsey '21.
