Can a school of journalism forge American character
The piece argues that tenacity and character in journalism come from native traits, not training. Horace Greeley shaped Henry J. Raymond, but schools cannot instill discipline or moral uplift. White’s school of statesmanship similarly cannot produce public men who resist corruption. The newspaper urges integrity over formal schooling to restore the press.

Will Not Teach Anything New. Philadelphia Ledger
The article argues a true journalism curriculum must be learned in a real newspaper office rather than a college. It praises Harvard President Eliot’s broad theoretical aims but contends practical copy preparation, typography, news service organization, circulation, and advertising require hands on newsroom experience. It warns that without practical immersion the instruction would be lame and advocates strong general education including literature history law and political economy.

Training to Write Replaces Newspaper Office Practice
The passage argues that writing skill is honed through practice and training, and that no special school can substitute for a newspaper office in teaching the practical or mechanical duties of the profession. It emphasizes hands on experience as essential to becoming proficient.
Questioning the value of a journalism school
The Boston Transcript argues that practical skill in journalism grows from on the job training and real world conditions rather than formal schooling. Schools could only mimic real work at great cost and would still yield fewer or inferior newspapers than established outlets. The profession may weed out false starts, leaving only those truly suited to the "born that way" newsroom.
