...quite surprising to see what great advantages a student at one of our great universities enjoys in regard to the use of libraries. We are very much inclined to complain of not having the necessary facilities in this direction, but comparison, which teaches so many things, may also teach as to be quite contented with our lot. While staying in Berlin for a few months, I had occasion to get some books out of the Royal Library. Not being a matriculated student, I had tremendous difficulty in getting the necessary permission from one of those demigods - an assistant librarian. When...
...students, the standard of work has been admirably sustained throughout. As a result of this, the practical aims of the enterprise are more than fulfilled. The pupils who come to us simply from a love of study find what they seek, while such of our graduates as intend to teach readily obtain places in the best schools, and teachers of an older grade, who often join our classes for special studies, are cheered and encouraged by the new opportunities offered them...

Again, very few real journalists would be willing to teach journalism, and could not if they would. This profession differs from the medical and legal, in that a man who has mastered the elements of these latter is equipped for any district in the country, since physiology and the principles of common law are always the same. In journalism every locality demands different work. The requirements as well as the taste of the public must be understood and satisfied. The journalistic knowledge which would suit Boston; for example, would be altogether unsuitable for Minnesota. The two essential characteristics...
