LIKE THE POET HE IS BORN, NOT

No Set Rules to Govern His Picturesque
Career, Yet He Is the Man Vllio Controls
the World—CapacitiesRequired to 0h-
tain a. Place In Journalism.
Can journalism be learned by rules?
This question as to whether journalism
can ever become a normal career, like
other recognized careers, has always
haunted and even, I may say, besieged
me. And indeed it would be strange if
this were not the case. For the knowl-
edge requisite to make a pair of boots,
or a hat, or a pair of gloves may be
taught according to established princi-
ples and fixed rules; by dissection of
the dead human body may be discover-
ed the laws of medicine and the best
methods of curing the living; a lawyer
may learn in the schools the modes of
procedure and exact precedents of his
profession ; the art of war, its rules and
precepts—indeed throughout the entirt
list of human professions there is for
each a special series of laws and condi-
tions by knowledge of which he who
enters as an apprentice may go out, by
slow degrees of advancement, a master.
But in ' journalism alone among pro-
fessions this is not the case. In this
career there is no body of doctrine, no
series of fixed rules, apparently no pos-
sible method of instruction.
Nowhere has there been an attempt
to establish such laws, nowhere has
there as yet been a school for journal-
ist apprentices, where they might learn
precise rules for their profession or ob-
tain a recognized basis of preliminary
and indispensable knowledge, and yet
journalism governs the world and is be-
coming daily a more and more influen-
tial power. The problem is really press-
ing, and even because of its very diffi-
culty fascinating to the mind.
Men who cannot make up their minds
to follow another’s lea-d along a path to
be traced slowly, step by step, often
leave the slower and more regular pro-
fessions to enter journalism, much as
formerly mercenaries engaged them-
selves to this and that foreign army,
quite willing to fight at random _on the
morrow against an enemy whose very
existence the night before was unknown
to them. Once become journalists, they
change their newspaper,as formerly they
changed their profession or career.
They jump from grave to gay, from
the political journal to the journal of
satire. They become at will reporters,
chroniclers, art critics, literary review-
ers, not seeking in any way to study the .
course of events, the drift of the times,
but, on the other hand, fitting all con-
tempera yideas and events to the meas-
ure of their own personal temperament,
so that an event or problem, thus treated
according to the fancy of a journalist,
appears tragical or comic, without any
sort of regard for its real character. In-
stead of describing it as it is, establish-
ing the principle which it illustrates,
they scatter abroad confusion and pro«
dues in the public mind a condition
of uncertain kaleidoscopic eclecticism
which is the negation of all really an-
thoritative opinion and the destroyer of
all conviction.
To obtain a place in journalism an
entire series of capacities is required. all
to be summed up, but not defined, in
the single word talent. The absolutely
ignorant, men without imagination,
without inteilligence, without the gift
of assimilation, without, let me add,
audacity and gayety, cannot obtain a
place, cannot succeed in journalism.
The man who would enter a school of
journalism should feel a positive “call”
to this vocation, should have in him the
unwearying vigilance which is an abso-
lute condition of it, the love of danger
—of civil danger, that is—and real peril,
a boundless curiosity and love for truth,
and a special and marked facility of
rapid assimilation and comprehension.
Take a young man possessing the first
scholarly diplomas in his country. If
he enjoys good health; if he has the
free use of all his bodily faculties; if
he sees and hears accurately and knows
how to express quickly what he hears
and sees, then, if he wishes to be a jour-
nalist, take him in hand, undertake his
education, give him that general equip
ment fitted for the various forms of bat- ,
tle which such a career implies, and if
you do not make a great journalist of
him you will, at all events, make one
who can easily stand comparison with
any, even the most authoritative prod-
uct of the utterly disorganized journal-
ism of today. But you will do more
than this. You will have created a type,
one of a special class, now isolated and
rare, but soon to increase and multiply
-—-the type of the journalist—elect,
standing head and shoulders above the
common stream of contemporary jour-
nalists. In other professions those who
issue from a special school, with a spe-
cial training, are a model for those less
favored by fortune. They precede and
guide the latter, and, with the rarest
exceptions, alwlays maintain their lead.
So it must be in journalism whenever
in any country a national school of j0ur-
nalism shall have been created. —M. De
Blowitz.

A BROWNING MAN
{Will Catch at a Straw. A Boston
Man Grasps Something More
'Stanle.
(From the Boston Globe.)
In 1823 was established the. Hubbard
Choir 00., and to day, at 855 “’ashing-
ton st., it remains, one ifthe prominent
institutions of Boston’s manufactures.
Connected with it is an old and trusted
employe, Mr. James Conner, who re-
sides at 196 Broadway, East Somerville.
Do you know him? Any one who does
will tell you his weid “goes without
saying.’ We Will let him lend you to
us by what he says. When our repre-
sentative called on him he became en-
thusiastic at once, saying, “ I can
speak very glowingly of your medi-
cine ” He said his kidney trouble
dated back eight years—he was unable
to assign a cause—it came just of its
own accord. The pains across the small
of his back were at times terrible—so
much as to literally‘ double him up,”
and he says he often felt in would be
impossible to get home from his work.
Another bad featlue was the costant de-
sire to urinate, often 8 and 10 times in
a half dey.I1i the Boston Post he hap-
pened to see a report of a similar case,
cuxed by Dean’ s K idney Pills. Like a
drowning man. be summed it, and in-
stead of its proving a straw it actually
saved him. He tells in a few words
how he Went to Geo. Burwell’ s Phar—
macy, Boylston st. ,and Park sq., and
bought and began taking the pills at
once. '1 he day he got them, he says
his pains were teirible,‘ and my very
breathing intensified my distress. All
pain was immediately eradicated, urine
restored to its normal frequency and I
cannot 1ealize that I had ever suffered
so. 1 shall always be ready to s eak a
good word for the Greatest Tiidney
