printed and administered by Harvard
university as a practical school for
journalism has excited earnest discus
sion in the faculty of the university.
among the graduates in Boston, and
especially among the members of the
English department of the college.
The idea of the proposed newspaper
is twofold primarily, to train men in
a practical way for a newspaper ca-
reer; secondarily, to link Harvard as a :
university more closely with the actual
life and problems of Boston, of Massa
chusetts and of the entire country.
The school of journalism would, as
proposed, be a graduate school. The
newspaper would be run in actual
competition with the morning papers
in Boston, but the name of the paper
would be Veritas, and the students of
journalism who manned its various
departments business, mechanical
and editorial under . the idose super
vision of trained newspaper men,
would be taught, above every thing. to
get only facts and write only facts.
The thing that sets the university
talking about this scheme is an article
which appeared In a recent number of
the Harvard Illustrated Magazine, an
undergraduate publication. The name
of the article Is "The Harvard Daily
Truth A Vision," its author Hans
Von Kaltenborn of the senior class.
Von Kaltenborn was himself a news
paper man. but after several years on
the staff of the Brooklyn Eagle he felt
the need of a more thorough educa
tion. He entered Harvard as a spe
cial student in 1905. heavily condi
tioned: but, though at the same time
he supported himself by newspaper
writing and did not neglect the social
life of the university, he worked with'
such energy and enthusiasm as soon
to take high rank in the class of 1909.
This is his vision: . v
There rose before me opposite the Bos
ton Common a huge square pile, pierced
by a thousand gleams, twenty tiers of
lighted cells. And the people surgred
about the doors and windows, for within
were light and life. A great press shook
out thousands upon thousands of printed
pages, while brawny, men rushed back
and forth to carry them away.
I entered the great pile, and,' behold,
everywhere bright faced youths and ear
nest men were talking with, one another,
reading printed sheets or writing busily.'
And above all the doors and ; upon the
walls and over alt the desks was written
tnis single woril, "Veritas.
I asked of one in the room, "What Is
all this?'" And he answered: "This is the
home q the Harvard Daily Truth
VSpaper printed by a great university.
Its readers are scattered in every state,
and' it has a great influence for good.
Here we teach men to make a cleaa.
truthful neWBpajjer, .so that they.mjiy go'
5ad srve tmit fellows jthrough the
power of the printed page. And the' let
ters you see over the doors and above
the walls spell that to which we aspire
truth." ...
That is all there la to the vislotl.
The rest of the article Is an explana
tion of the scheme.
Mr. von Kaltenborn refers to "Hut-,
vard's neglect to provide for the em
bryo , journalist," pointing to the .
schools of journalism in the west. He
states the number of Harvard gradu
ates that every year take up the news
paper business averages fifteen, and
then he says: j ' -;;-.,-
"My special plea is for the establish
ment of a daily newspaper to be con
ducted by Harvard as a school of jour
nalism, but the student will need prep
aration for "this practical work: Har
vard college has facilities for ' this
preparation, but they are neither or
ganized nor advertised." " i
After going on to show that "Har
vard faces a decreasing enrollment"
and stating how hie thinks a school of
journalism would tend to counterbal
ance it the writer goes on:
"Think of Boston having gained at
last that clean, unbiased, ably edited,
enterprising morning newspaper of
which her citizens have dreamed since
Ben Franklin shipped for Philadel
phia I How closely it would link our
university with that great neighbor
ing community!
"Its success or failure would depend
upon its appeal to the public. . The
new paper would have to ppove that
the truth: well told Is more interesting
than the most lurid lies, "a difficult
but by no means Impossible task.
"And. the office of this successful
newspaper would be the training
school for journalists. Hither would
come the college graduates from every
state, just as they now come to the
law school, to spend one, two or three
years in professional study,
As to whether this scheme can be
put. Into effect, Its author says: i
"I first had this vision a year ago,
and how I am rapidly growing, to be
lieve that-It can be realized. It lias
appealed to all my college mates and
has Interested-my elders; And a dream
)m ..which the young men believe and
to wJiich the old men listen Is sure to
come true.
Even Its author was ' surprised with
the effect of tli article. He said of it
"As to the university itself, the plan
has' been' mnch more warmly ' wel
comed by Uie members of the faculty
than 1 expected.? nearly-all. '.the mem
rbers of the- English department are en
; tniiKhrfrilcftllv -ln - favor of it. - I' am
much pleased with the" general Interest

the boiler room of the college and get
accustomed to coal dust, oil and the
working side of practical engineering.
It won't be mere book lore. They can
learn from books at their leisure what.
rudimentary knowledge they desire. It
will be real work with shovel at the
furnaces and with wrench' and oil can
at the engines.
"Everything that pertains to the prop
er working of an engine room or plant
will be Imparted; electrical, oil and
coal burning engines will be running,
and the up to date boilers will be in
stalled for drilling students to become
trustworthy engineers. It is not easy
work, this training of engineers. In
six years I have given certihcates to
only two men out of a class of sixteen
apprentices.
'The engineer of the future has to be
different from the one met with to
day," said Mr. Jnrgenson. "The need
of better men in plants in New York
is plainly seen every day. There is a
great deal of money to be saved, espe
cially in coal bills. .
"We have come to the question of
economical engineering, and it can be
accomplished through apprenticeship,
education and co-operation between
engineer and employer. Inefficiency in
the engine room causes loss, and the
only , remedy is proper education. I
hope, to obtain the desired resi.s at
Columbia."

San Diego, Cal., is destined to be
come the ; big : racing center in the
United States, according to John C.
Clark, a stockman who. owns a large
ranch twenty-five miles from that city.
, "The government of Mexico has
granted big concessions to the horse
racers, and a very fine track is being
constructed just over the line in Mex
ico and near San - Diego, Cal.." Mr.
Clark said. "A trolley line will be
run from San Diego down to the track,
only a few miles distant, and there is
every assurance from the Mexican
government that there will be no in
terference : so long as the races are
conducted In the proper manner. - In
the country where bullfights are tol
erated it is expected the regulations
governing races will be a little more
lax than in this country, but the men
who are investing their money say it
will be conducted on the same high
plane as the big tracks in this country.
- "It is planned to build a big resort
there, and it may develop into a reg
ular Monte Carlo. But the base of
operations"' will be in. San Diego as
planned how. There is no more de
lightful Climate to be found than in
and arotind San Diego, and that is ex
pected to be a big drawing card. That
city Is expected to take .on gay attire
when the followers of the races swoop
down on it next season, it is planned
to have everything in readiness by
next fall and winter."

CAMERA TO CONVICT SPEEDER

A camera which Is? expected to revo
lutionize the methods of the police In
convicting automobile speed violators
was a silent witness in the Itoxbury
(Mass.) court the other day. The cam
era is the invention of Professor Dan
iel F. Comstock and Professor Her
bert F. Kalmus of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, who appeared
as witnesses and explained its work
ings, and Judge Williams, on the evi
dence produced by the camera and
that of the witnesses, who explained
its workings, fined the defendant $20.
The camera is an oblong affair. It
contains two plate holders, one above
the other, with a stop watch between
the two. The operator takes his place
on a highway within focusing distance
of the road, and when the automobile
is at a certain distance the upper plate
is exposed. This takes the picture of
tne position of the automobile on the
road and also records the face of the
Btop1 watc-h, showing just where the
hand is at the second the picture Is
snapped. : ' ' ... ' ; -
The camera is then turned at a cer
tain angle up the road, -and a .second
picture' Is snapped. By mathematical
calculation the exact distance traveled
by the automobile is secured, and the
watch shows the exact time thai tran
spired between ' the first-and second
exposures. From -this the speed of
the automobile Is learned. .- '
