A course in journalistic training, it is expected, will soon be established in connection with the Wharton School of Finance and Economy of the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Joseph F. Johnson, the well-known newspaper man, has charge of the course.
Each student will be considered as on the staff of an imaginary newspaper which will be conducted like any of the large dailies. It is also hoped that arrangements may be made to do a part of the work of the Philadelphia papers, though it will in no way interfere with the work of the regular wage earners.
To afford the students an idea of the business and mechanical departments of a newspaper, a printing office will be established in the college and the students will be given full charge. Lectures will be given frequently by distinguished journalists and written exercises and practical newspaper work will form an important part of the course.
