.In view of the Interest which the
public, a well ai the newspaper pro
fession la taking In the Pulltier
acbool of Journalism, established in
connection with Columbia university,
a descriptive article in the February
. Outlook is certain to attract atten
tion. It is entitled "Copy" and Is
written bv Henry Farrand Griffin, a
former New York newspaper man
The practical aa well aa theoretical
training reaulred of the students Is
told In detail. f
Iq.one criticism that ! Mr. Griffin
makes he strikes at a fault which
deserves notice at the hands of the
faculty. Little provision baa been
, made to provide working newspaper
men with the benefits of the college.
As the writer aays. this , Institution
will miss one of Its biggest fields of
usefulness if It does not make more
adequate provision In this regard. '
In newspaper work there are many
university men. Then, again, many
of those most successful in it never
have aeen the Inside of a univer
sity. Bomo publishers, after actual
experience with graduates, have come
to ahun tbem because they find they
get bettor results with the practical
man who hss given himself a good
education, 'fat oa the whole news
paper men are agreed that the right
kind of university education hurt no
one, and that If tt does not help It
la the fault of the man himself. To
day there are In the profession many
who wduld be glad to add certain
peclal knowledge to their practical
wpilpment it they knew where to
get it. 8ome are finding the. oppor
tunity in extension courses furnished
by such Institutions as the Univer
sity of Chicago and the University of
Wisconsin.' 4
The Pulitzer school would double
and treble lta influence If It followed
these examples and made arrange
ments for extension wdrk which
would cover the entire country. Ex

An Inside View of. th Way Criminal
; Caws Are Handled.
la "Courta, Criminals and the Ca
morra". Arthur Train, the author, once
an assistant district attorney In New
York city, aays that our present system
of administering Justice offers -no de
terrent to the embryonic or profession
al criminal. The administration of jus
tice Is a clever game between Judge
and lawyer In which the moves are
made with a view to checkmating Jus-
tire, not In the trial courtroom, but be- I
fore tbe appellate tribunal two or three I
years hence.

"Then your witnesses will be gone,

tbe Indictment will kick around tbe of

friend of mine to come in quietly and
move to dismiss. And It'll be dis

that happens. Bless your soul, you

Mechanical or
Purpose Does It Servf
"What Is your chin for?" Is the odd
query raised by Sir Riiy Lankester. the
scientist, who says he Is unable to find
any mechanical or physiological pur
pose which the chin serves.
"The fnct thnt modern rncps of man
kind have chins and most primitive
men whose remains hnve beeu found

speculation us to whv this Is so." be
said
Dr. Forbes Ross agrees with Sir Hay
that the chin Is useless in itself, but
gives tlie following explanation of tbe
reason for it:
"All animals that browse- have uu
chin at all. Their teeth slant forward
to allow tbem to reach easily things
that would otherwise be beyond their
reach. The moment man gave up
browsing on green thlugs uud became
less and less an animal his teetb grew
