Concerning Students Of Journalism ' Are students of journalism naturally lazy and incapable? At a newspaper convention held a short time ago, the editor of a certain newspaper made a state ment "i to the effect that only about one journalistic student out of twenty makes good. If this be true, then the future of the press is indeed shaky- if it depends upon embryo journalists as ourself . But is it actually true? Judging from our contact with older and more experienced newspaper men, we are inclined to "accept this statement with a grain of salt. Journalism schools are not to be compared with fac tories which turn out 'finished products ready for the market. Journalism is an art that re quires not only a deep interest in the work itself, but also a great deal of. training, and it is 'too much to assume that stu dents just out of college can compete with men who haye years of experience behind them. This same editor also advo cated making studies for this profession a graduate course, giving as his reason that stu dents take journalism courses only as "crips" and not for the benefit that might be obtained from them. Of course there are ' some who always seek the eas iest way out, but the student who intends to take up news paper work as a livelihood, will, r J. ii ' j a ' m most cases, iaKe advantage of his opportunities ; . and the change would only make it hard er to get a degree without any great difference in the qualifi cations of the students. rrn 'J. 'i.i : i' , me situation, we aamity is not what it might be. The weeding-out process must occur in every profession, however, - and journalism 'is no exception. We only ask that the devil be given his dues. J. S. S. lien liotnta By H. J. Galland' Some years ago a young lady who was editing a high school journal in New York received a contribution from one of the readers. The contributor who handed in the literary gem had written about brothers. Her essay was highly laudatory and complimentary, and she ram bled at length on the beautiful relationship possible, between brother and sister. . ' ' . t, t" f . . . The editor lo6ked over the contribution and was amused, for she new that the contribu tor was brotherless and , had never the doubtful experience of having one of the animals in her own family. So the editor, be ing saddled with a brother, sat herself down and drew a word picture of brothers as they ac tually are, or as she had found One of them. She described in detail the contents of his pock ets, his aversion to clean collars, the invariable state of his hands, and dtheiuunsavory and uncom plimentary things. And she ran her article alongside the contributor's, under the double heading, "Brothers By One Who Never Had One," and "By One Who Has One." - ' t f t- The writer of this column was the poor unfortunate who un wittingly sat for the portrait "By One Who Has One." And now, having, seen that sister recently, the incident of high school days bomes to mind, and with it a chknceVto retaliate. The sister in 'question is more or less typical of many others. She is a littfe "older than her brother, and Jie knows her (or thinks he does) as well as she knows him. . IS. , ! The mosi striking results of what travelling she has done in Europe is noticeable in her con versation. She has a most ex cellent repetoire of French and German slang and cuss words. She can, and has, put to shame a Parisian taxi-driver who -was inclined to become obstreperous in an effort to scare an Ameri can into paying an unjust fare, by rapid and calculated flow of argot, causing him to stare in wonder and then drive quickly off, sadly disillusioned. Iff She has never quite learned to light a cigarette, on the few oc casions when she smpkes, with out first blowing out the match two or three times. She has no taste or use for corn and such liquor, but can hold her own with anyone when it is a matter of good wine or'liquers, another result of continental training. She has an excellent sense of humor, and is what is known as "open-minded." The fact that she can no longer subdue her brother easily by physical means she bemoans. She can however, embarrass him by means best known to herself, and .on oc casions does so. t t t : She is agood horsewoman, but a bad tennis player. - She refuses to return tennis balls not placed carefully within her reach, and goes off into gales of laughter at her own efforts, thereby breaking up a game be fore it gets started. She does not play bridge, but she has an excellent taste in books, without being "bookish." She has an instinctive sympathy for drunks, especially if they are good-humored and well-behaved. t f t When out with her brother, she automatically splits all costs. She is inclined to regard him in general as a necessary evil, sometimes interesting and sometimes just pathetic in his efforts at being his age. Her favorite anecdote is that early in life, when led in to see her new brother while the assembled relatives waited breathlessly for a bright remark, she maintained a disappointed and contempt uous silence. But all in all, she is a pretty good egg for a sis- ter. . SPEARMAN AND ALLISON TRAVELING IN EUROPE (Continued from first page) Brittany and Spain. School lasts until the end of June, and after that we are planning to travel through Italy, Germany, Bel gium, Holland, and England, Re turning to the States in Septem ber. ' "But the worst of it is that I fear we are becoming spoiled for hqnest-to-God work this is too easy a life to last. We are comfortably lodged in a French family for room and meals. Madame Deroin has two grown sons, both of Whom have left home, so she takes us in their place and tries to make herself believe that we are her sons even to the point of serving. tour breakfast in our own room in "S i. the morning, turning down the bed-covers and laying out our slippers at night,-and dosing us with iodine and rum when we are sick. During the winter rain and fog we spent most of our time reading and studying, but now with the coming of spring we can venture out and get more of an idea of the coun tryside. Not finding the Uni versity entirely to our liking, John turned to music and is studying both piano and violin, while I turned.to the library anl am reading all I can of Flaubert, Rousseau, Moliere, deMaupas sant, Zola Daudet and Balzac. "It is certainly einga most delightful year and I am tre mendously glad that we came. Naturally.it has changed our ideas on many things and, I count that , a mental victory. However, I think it would take a great deal more than a year in France to change our natures, so we will probably return much like we went away in that re spect. . . - "We have had a wet time in France with all the floods along the Garonne River in the south ern part of the country. The newspapers tell -harrowing tales of death and devastation " with an occasional heroic rescue thrown in for relief or a comic description of cows in trees and pigs floating along on housetops. Many of the marooned people had to be furnished food from airplanes. If the waters have subsided sufficiently, we may go through that section during our Easter holidays to see just how terrible the damage is. The Frenchmen of Northern France declare that the floods came as a punishment for the war profi teers who made their fortunes in Southern France while the Northern part was being laid waste by the Germans: "Springtime in France is love ly. All the roads are bordered with rows of poplars or chest nuts, and the tender green leaves are beginning to show. Out in the country the almond and peach trees are in bloom, . and the valleys are full of yellow primroses. The days are so bright ant sunny now that I can scarcely bear to stay indoors, but spend 'my time strolling along the banks of th Rhone watching the gulls or find some comfortable rock pile lo sit on while I read.
