THE JOURNALISM SCHOOL.
Will Be Increasingly Useful, Says Henry Watterson.
Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier Journal.
Theological schools do not turn out ready-made preachers, but young men who are trained to become preachers. Medical schools do not turn out physicians, but young men who will in time become physicians. The skilled surgeon is not the product of a college of surgery, but of education plus experience. The lawyer learns more out of college than he learned in college. Schools of journalism will not make journalists, but there is no reason why they should not be increasingly useful in training young men who have a natural aptitude for news paper work.
The most valuable equipment they can give the student is knowledge of subjects with which the newspaper man must deal after graduation from the ranks. Streets fights, fires, railroad wrecks, political conventions and the many occurrences and events customarily treated as news, are handled differently by different newspapers. The "cub" reporter who begins work without opinions of his own as to how the news should be served to the consumer will learn the taste and the methods of the newspaper he serves as readily as the graduate of a school of journalism. But there are too many bright young men who can write an article and too few possessing a sufficiently broad education to fit them for higher position and larger usefulines. Writing is partly a gift and partly an art acquired by conscientious practice. Knowledge of what to write and what not to write must be gained by conscientious study that may well be begun in college, but must be continued throughout life.
EASIER ON ENGINEERS
Two Chemistry Courses Have Been Lightened for Sophs.
At a meeting of the faculty of the School of Engineering last night, the course of the sophomore engineers was reduced. The courses in Chemistry II and III were reduced from five hour to four-hour subjects. This new ruling will go into effect in the spring term, but it is a question as to whether the change will be effective this fall.
"The reason for making this change," said Dean Marvin of the School of Engineering, this morning," is that the sophomore year for the students of engineering is now, and has been for some time past, altogether too heavy. This change is made because of a desire on the part of the faculty to lighten the second year engineering course which has been recognized as being too heavy for the men to carry.
All of the courses in the School of Engineering were referred to a committee of the faculty for investigation and possible revision and readjustment.
First Student Recital.

K. U. Alumni of Kansas City Declare for Mill Tax.
WILL HELP MISSOURI U.
University of Kansas alumni, who are residents of Kansas City, Mo., have enlisted in the fight to secure a mill tax for the support of the University of Missouri. At a recent monthly luncheon of the alumni, the following resolution favoring the passage of an amendment to the constitution of Missouri providing for permanent support of the University was adopted;
Whereas, the members of this association, although alumni and former students of the University of Kansas, are citizens of the state of Missouri and interested in the development and betterment of its educational system; and,
Whereas, the University of Missouri College of Agriculture and Rolla School of Mines constitute an important part of the educational systems of this state, therefore
Be it Resolved, That this association heartily endorses the proposed amendment No. 11 to the constitution of Missouri, which provides separate, fixed and permanent support for the University of Missouri, Missouri College of Agriculture and Rolla School of Mines, and this Association pledges the assistance of its members in creating a sentiment in this community favorable to the Amendment and urges its members to vote in favor of the passage of said amendment.
Hopes the Spirit Will Spread.
The student council of the University of Kansas has recommended that three men who were found guilty of illegal voting in a recent class election be expelled from the University. The action of the council has been sustained by the board of Curators and the men have left the University. Is it possible that at least one American university has come to see that there is a relation between college politics and the politics of the state and the nation? The charge has been made with some degree of truthfulness that University men have led in many of the evils of American politics and the charge has further been made that these men were trained for this kind of political leadership while in college. If the University of Kansas will establish certain standards of honor in the political activities of the school, these same standards will within a decade become the standards of the state. The action taken by Kansas in this matter is probably more drastic than that taken by any other American University. It will have a wholesome effect and it is hoped the spirit will spread to other universities.-University Missouri.
