DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN : COLUMBUS, GEOHGIA, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER 24, 1X86. Scheme of the University of Pennsylvania to Establish a Chair of Journalism. What the Lnnlsvllle Courier.JnuriiAl Hi,a to Say of Hip Proposition—Some Troths A hoot the Business Not (Irncrtllv Known to the Public. The editor of t he Courier-Journal has re- cciv d a letter which Heems to be of enough public interest to justify a public answer. The following extract will explain the case : “It is proposed by the trustees of ono of the :. ' nicul schools of the University of Pennsylvania to establish a choir in jour nalism. The plan under oonslderatios is to have an instructor who will give upcJui attention to English composition, an > to supplement his work by lectures given in course by leading Journalists. It is desira ble to obtain opinions of the representative men in the profession upon t be ud\ inability of the scheme. May I ask if, in your opin ion, instructions in the art of newspaper making, given in connection with other studies in college, would be either feasible or advantageous? If it would be, what in your opinion should be, briefly, the chief end to be aimed at? Let me say that this information is sought to the end that a practical solution ot the problem involved may be secured.” There can be but one reply to the first of the above interrogatories; a school of special instruction in newspaper work is feasible and desirable, and, if properly organized and conducted, would be advan tageous. Of course education can insure success in no calling. Eminence in every walk of life is the outcome of conditions not embraced by systems and of qualities distinctly per sonal. But there is no more reason why particular training should not benefit THE INTENDED JOURNALIST tlinn the intended machinist, musician, or soldier. On the contrary, the increasing exactions and complexities of newspaper work create a peculiar need for such par ticular training. Its realization is only a question of time and will be determined, soon or late, partl.v by the newspaper de mand for skilled labor ami partly by the practical wisdom of thi SB undertaking its organization and development. As a rule, two types of young men pro- sent tneinselves for admission into news- I inper offices; the callow collegiate, who mows too much, atul the poor devil, who knows nothing. Of the two, the latter is to he preferred. He has less to unlearn. Ho is as a fresh sheet of letter paper, and, if lie bo clenn, and made out of good stock, there is hope of him. The other may get on, but the likelihood is that, after failing in all the lines of ambitious work, lie will at last drop into a position of ill-paid ob scurity and fixed subordination, and be come n harmless crank. He is the "crush ed tragedian” of journalism. In each instance some preparatory in struction would bo valuable, and not less to journalism than to journalistic aspirants and applicants. It would spare journalism the wear and tear and the risk of depend ing upon novices for work too often im portant and delicate, whilst educating them. It would disclose the unfitness of many would-be journalists in time to save them and put the more promising upon TIIE BIGHT HOAD. There is not a newspaner manager in the country who would not be glud to recruit his little army of news gatherers from a School in which the rudimentary princi ples of newspaper requirements and re sponsibility are well taught. Such n school would no more make a journalist than West Point makes a soldier. But it would lay the needful foundations. The chief end to be aimed at by a school of journalism should be, first, simple train ing in the preparation of copy for publica tion, embracing the art of condensation, and second, moral training in the obliga tions oi decency and truthfulness, which the individual assumes when he becomes n public, writer or reporter for the press. After all, success in every enterprise is referable to the ability mid skill of the men who originate it and devote them selves to it. Many excellent schemes fail for lack of adequate handling. But we are inclined to think that a time has come when the organization of a faculty for a school of journalism is possible. The great newspaper properties of the country arc for the most pm-t in the bands of those who are not willing to part with them, and are consequently beyond the rench of many poor young men, who have only their ox- { lorience and talents to sustain them and to ook to, in the subordinate places of man aging editor and city editor, which they have attained, and beyond which there is no probable promotion. These ure not, as a role, so well paid for the most arduous w,.rk known to man that their services might not be hud as instructors by i A PROSPEROUS SCHOOL OP JOURNALISM und their qualification to give practical in structions will not he denied. Of course, occasional lectures or courses from the greater guns might stimulate and adver tise, and would lie interesting as individual performances, if not instructive as lessons in journalism; hut of the utilitarian value of elementary instruction by expert every day journalists we have us little doubt us we have that these latter may bo secured by the inducements which lure others from active professional work to the busi ness of professional teaching. On the whole, therefore, it seems to us that the idea of the university of Pennsyl vania is feasible and desirable, and we may add the expression of the opinion that no better sight for the proposed school could be found than the city of Pliila lelpbiu, which is in close contiguity to so many ot the great cities, yet apart from them, 'and where practical journalism has made un common advances the last ten or twelve years, creating a certain competitive en thusiasm and a professional esprit de corps favorable to those atmospheric, conditions that, in journalism, hardly less than in art atul letters, germinate und enlarge the species which they permeate and envelop. Almost every one is troubled with nerv ousness in some form, and nine-tenths of the prevailing illness comes from nervous exhaustion, brought on by overwork, mental strain or dissipation. No wonder people are asking for a reliable nerve remedy like Moxie Nerve Food ; it builds you up, and strengthens your whole nerv ous system. Try it. Obliged le Hurry tp. “ Conductor,” inquired a hungry pas senger on a southern railroad, “ how long will this train stop for refreshments at the next station?” “Just long enough,” replied the official, “for me to down three hard boiled eggs and a cup of coffee. If my watch is any where near right, and it’s ticking fairly well at present; we are in the neighbor hood of from two to five hours behind time, or thereabouts.” Watterson to Cleveland. One thing is certain, and that, is that if We are to nominate Mr. Cleveland to be his own successor, which at present seems to us inevitable, we cannot elect him unless We come to some better understanding than now exists. In truth, if tie is not with us heartily, and in good faith, and all along the line, we do not care to elect him. Between a mugwump in the white house and a stalwart republican, we should pre fer to take our chance of the future in a square hand-to-hand fight on principle with the republican, gettiug with our vic tory, if we should win a victory, a change of public policy, than to eke out a preca rious milk-and-water servitude to a fast- and-loose, pig-and-puppy, now-you-see-it and now-you-don’t, too-good-to-be-houest and too-great-to-be-iiseful administration of Cheap John statesman, wearing second hand apparel and pinchback jewelry. This is the feeling among the mass of democrats. It is the feeling among the file leaders. Some one, without a grudge and with perfect good humor, ought to any it, to say it plainly and with a will, to sa.v It in senson and in earnest; for if its lesson and meaning be not heeded, and wo go stumbling and blundering along as we are going, we shall find, when the votes come to no counted out. that somebody has fallen without knowing who or what hurt him.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

According to nature, the question of tel- ephouy vs. telegraphy has been recently discussed bv a well-known German elec trician, Dr. Weilleslnicli. The chief hin drance to the use of tile telephone for long distances is. be points out, of a financial, not of a technical, nature. A telephone ] ns 2000 km. long (about, 1243 miles), costs considerably over a million marks ($250,- 000). It is still possible to speak very well this distance; but even supposing the line wero in constant use day and night, the receipts must be five marks (say shillings) a minute to make it nay. In telephone work, however, the line is in use only a few hours d illy; hence a short conversa tion would cost at least fifty marks(£2 10s). This is, of course, too dear for ordinary traffic. The telegraph works, with almost the same speed, more than ten times more cheaply. Thus the question as to rivalry between telephone and telegraph finds its settlement.—Electrical Review.
