Bill Nye, writing of the Cornell school of journalism, says : “There are many reasons why tne establishment of a de partment of journalism at Cornell will be a good move, and I believe that while it will not take the place of actu al experience, it will serve to shorten the apprenticeship of a young newspa per man and the fatigue of starting the amateur in journalism will be divided between the managing editor and the tutor.
