Councilman Fitzgerald’s resolution that the water rates suit be prosecuted to final judgment in the Supreme Court was adopted by a vote of 9 to 2, Councilmen Howard and Pendleton voting no. Howard said he was op- I posed to the appeal because there was no point to be gained by the action, provided a proper stipulation of dis- missal were signed by the water com- pany and the city. Such a stipulation, | Howard said, had been prepared by Mayor Olney and had met the ap- proval of City Attorney McElroy. Howard added that his reason for favoring a dismissal of the suit was to stop the drain of city money that had been going on for three years. He said the water company had spent $143,000 in the litigation, all of which | bia University, | view, of which Nicholas Murray But — BERKELEY, March .—Hammond Lamont, managing editor of the New York Evening Post, is coming to the next summer session at the University of California to teach something of journalism and Engiish. Since is graduation from Harvard in 1886 Mr. Lamont has been sometimes an editor | and sometimes a college professor, and these experiences seem to have quali fied him to write a most interesting ac- count of his views upon the curriculum for the school of journalism at Colum- fe the founding of which $2,000,000 was recently given by Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York World. These views appeared in a late number of the Educational Re- ler, president of Columbia University, is the editor, under the title, “The C riculum of the School of Journalism. Mr. Lamont is thoroughly practical in his treatment of this subject. He would have journalism taught, not from the point of view of the college professor or the theorist, but from the point of view of journalism. must be a scientific and a practical de to the curriculum, with stress laid There | | | | | | i b L Sk ) | | intelligently on the practical side of it. | There must be more directness and less red tape and hideboundness. Even the “reader” on the coliege professor's staff must retire and give way to the “copy reader” of the big city daily if there is any real success to come out of this bold venture of Mr. Pulitzer. AN UN OWN SEA. In the men of Columbig setting satl in this new craft Mr. crew of navigators setting out to cross an unknown sea. They must be cau tious at first, he s: because there i3 no precedent to guide them. A few years of actual experiment is likely to discover that the whole thing demands changing. The north star of this voyage into uncertain seas, Mr* Lamont points out, is the daily newspaper. The curricu- lum must be suggested from its point of view. And taking this into account the school must deal with two things— the science of journalism and the art or practice of journalism. The science of jqurnalism will in- clude knowledge of every language, science and philosophy—there is really no definite body of learning to be mas tered. The journalist must take all knowledge as his province. But cer- tain studies are really nec ary, such as the modern languages, history, gov-/ arndite theorists. jurisprudence, finance, ernment, sociology, peychology, and art. the school will have no advantage over the college except that it may empha- size, group and strengthen them. But Columbia intends other studies, not taught in colleges but belonging strictly to journalism, to be added to this scientific course. These are the law and ethics of journalism, newspa- per administration, manufactures and history of the press. PURPOSES OF SCHOOL. “To sum up,” Mr. Lamont says, “in the science of journalism the school will offer but little more than our best col- leges may; and that little—if we ex- cept the law and the ethics—is of minor importance. But it will gain from hav- ing its course designell for a particular end, systematically developed and so plainly marked out that wayfaring students, though fools, shall not err therein.” In the practice school it is assumesd that the art of writing accurate and readable repopts of all public affairs diplomacy, statistics, ethics, had been charged to the ratepayers, andog‘;al the. city to date had spent t is purely a matter of cold busi- ness with me,” declared Howard. Councilman Elliott declared his be- lief that the subject of the water rates suit ought to be dropped at least until the bond question was out of the way. —_—————— Prepare for Primaries.

Here special instructors will be required because, the writer says, “few teachers have been ground through the mill of a newspaper office and are fully prepared to conduct classes in reporting.” Besides, the in- struction must be of a kind that will make more of a student than a ‘mere reporter of sermons and lectures. And as a matter of fact there is some in- struction that can never be obtained except through experience. Here Mr. Lamont says: “The banker, the railway president and the politician—even Chauncey M. Depew, whose heart overflows with kindness to newspaper men—would not waste a minute in assisting mere stu- dents of journalism to develop the ‘nose for news.” “So, if the faculty must confine the students to public occasions and can contrive no plan for advanced work, the school of journalism in this re- spect will have no advance over the college.” JVALUE 18 LITTLE.

Doubtless Pres- ident Butler would hesitate before the difficulties of the undertaking. There would not only be a thousand vexa- tious: problems of management, but the paper, in order to amount to any- thing, would be forced to take sides on every public question and would drag the university into politics. “Despite such obstacles, = President Butler might argue that if a university may maintdin a hospital or a labora- tory, it may also maintain a real news- paper as a journalistic laboratory.” Mr. Lamont finds that there must be revision in the methods of nstruction in writing. The teaching n colleges now is done by professors and thelr assistants. The assistants do the bulk of the drudgery and they have been o busy correcting tons upon tons of themes that they have become The result is that they have turned out students who write sentences of tolerable correct- ness, but, instead of seizing uvon the significant points, they write a sub- ject to the dregs, sprawl over illimi- table space and bury interesting facts under a mountain of detail. NEEDS OF JOURNALISM. “Without falling into the smartness of some sorts of journalism,” the writer continues, “the instruction should run less to hair-splitting and red tape and lay more stress on di- rectness and brevity. To-day college teachers, with a few notable excep- tions, have no clear understanding of the needs of our best daily journal- ism. “In the school the teaching must be done by expert copy readers. The copy reader has been a reporter and has been slashed unmercifully. He early learned to display the salient features of his news in the first sen- tence or two. He has had daily exer- cise in cutting a dull story of 2000 words to an interesting one of 500 words. Although he is acquainted with no treatises of style and his knowledge of literature and linguistics is not recondite, he never forgets that tedlousness is a cardinal sin.” Mr. Lamont has been an editor in Albany, New York, and Seattle, Wash- ington, where he was connected with the Post-Tntelligencer. He taught Eng- lish gt Harvard from 1892 to 1895 and then went to Brown University as as- soclate professor in rhetoric, after- ward being raised to the higher office of full professor. His connection with the Evening Post dates from 1900.

President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University lectured on “The Hopes of Japan” at the evening ses- sion of the institute and Hamilton Hall was packed to the doors, more than a thousand people crowding into the building to hear the lecture and wit- ness the stereopticon entertainment. Professor Jordan discussed the laws and social customs of the Mikado's empire at some length and then touch- ed upon_ the Russo-Japanese war, the conflict upon which are fixed the eyes of the entire civilized world. Profes- sor Jordan said in part: Many people affect to believe that when the Japanese conquer the Ruesians, if they ever do. that they will drive ail foreigners out of China and will arm the Chinese. forming a great Mongolian alliance against the rest of the world. = Now in truth there is just about as much danger that farmers of this country will arm all their horses and cattle and turn them loose against the cities.

Plans for the siructure were com- pleted last year and it was expec ted that after the two local franchises were awarded to the Southern Pa- cific Company that the work of erect- ing the proposed depot would begin. Practically nothing has been done during the last six months toward fin- ishing the project and it was because to the muzzle with set speeches. They helped out their speeches with newly invented gestures and swept all oppo- sition away. The resolutions were car- ried without a dissenting voice. Then the presiding officer, J. M. Wolfsohn, appointed a committee to present the resolutions to President Wheeler and Professor Cory, the committee consist- ing of George B. Gillson, Owen 8. Adams and William H. Murray. It was a delicate mission for the com- mittee to perform, but it did not flinch. The members first called on President | | | | | Wheeler.
