 IN CHARGE OF 
 
 HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST, Formerly Managing Editor of The Washington Post. 
 
 J HE constant and increasing demand for thoroughly equipped Journalists, and the difficulties encountered in 
 obtaining a thorough knowledge of the Journalistic profession, makes the Department of Journalism 
 of the National Correspondence Institute an absolute necessity to all who seek employment in this 
 attractive and influential sphere. 
 
 The advantages of Journalism as a profession, the opportunities offered to those who desire to learn its 
 details, and the methods by which this knowledge can be acquired in spare moments, with the least expenditure 
 of time and money, are fully described in the accompanying pages. 
 
 READ THIS ANNOUNCEHENT CAREFULLY. 
 
 The instruction outlined in the several courses is thorough, practical, and complete. It promises success to 
 those who expect to find in Journalism a means of earning a livelihood, and to all who desire a more extended 
 acquaintance with standard literature, the development of their talent for story-writing and other literary work, 
 and the acquisition of a forceful, graceful, and correct style of expression, offers the most satisfactory method of 
 securing beneficial results. 
 
 We have the best plan and the best instructors, and confidently assure the best results.

 N AGE OF JOURNALISM. 
 
 " It is au Age of Journalism ; all the facts 
 of the world are narrated iu the daily press," 
 ^f^"^^J£j^ writes that famous poet and critic, Mr. 
 
 " «~~— ' Edmund Clarence Stedman, author of the 
 
 great work on "The Victorian Poets-' 
 Trulj'. this is an age of Journalism. Never before iu the 
 history of the world have newspapers been so powerful, so pro- 
 gressive, as they are to day ; never have they sought so eagerly 
 and so persistently or paid so liberally for ever3- assistance 
 tending to increase the influence of their editorials ; the extent 
 and reliability of their news reports ; the value of their literary 
 features. Their organization is more extensive and the field of 
 employment is consequently larger. Nearly every newspaper 
 finds a force of several hundred correspondents absolutely 
 necessary, in addition to the numerous staff directly connected 
 with the home office. As a natural result tlie proJes-Sion 
 of Joiirualisin offers opportunities and advan- 
 tages to young men and women unequalled by any 
 other profession or trade. What other occupation is 
 more influential, more remunerative, more fascinating than 
 that of the Journalist? 
 
 HAT IS JOURNALISM. 
 
 "■ Webster says, "Jou-malism is the busi- 
 
 ness of managing, editing oy ivriting for 
 newspapers." But Journalism is more ; it 
 is a profession of the highest dignity ; the 
 widest influence ; the greatest power. From 
 the reporter who unravels the mystery 
 of a crime, to the Editor-in-Chief, to whom the rulers of the 
 world pa}- tribute; from the writer of the interesting short 
 story, to the author whose name is known and loved as far as 
 civilization reaches — all are Jourualists. 
 
 OURNALISM AS A PROFESSION. 
 
 The men who are associated with Jour- 
 nalism to-day control the destiny of the 
 country. It is the Journalist who impresses 
 his thoughts upon the public, who directs 
 ^~' popular opinion, making and unmaking 
 
 men and becoming a tremendous factor in 
 the history of the world. The power of the rural journalist is 
 multiplied a thousand times iu the case of the editor of a great 
 metropolitan newspaper. His utterance is an oracle to which 
 all men listen. Even the most obscure reporter on the city 
 press wields a power 
 because of the vast 
 audience he reaches. 5^^- 
 
 The Journalist on the ^rj j?* 
 
 metropolitan paper is . ^\}l 
 
 courted as well as fear- 
 ed. In the capitals of 
 the States he is con- 
 sulted by the leading 
 officials and by the 
 prominent politicians; 
 at the Capital of the 
 Nation he is the con- 
 fidant of public men in 
 the highest positions, 
 including even the 
 President and his Cab- 
 inet advisers, the leading Senators and Representatives, and 
 the titled Ambassadors and Ministers of foreign legations. 
 
 With upwards of 20,000 periodicals published in the United 
 States and Canada, covering everv field of Journalism, from the 
 never sleeping newspaper to the magazines of great literary 
 achievements, it must be obvious that the profession of 
 
Depart/Tje^b of JourQalis/ify. 
 
 JourualisiiL nevei' offered greater iuduceiuents 
 or promised higher attain ments tlian it does 
 to-day. The growth of the great dailies, the liveliness of 
 competition, the demand for a complete record of the world's 
 happenings — all these combine 
 to increase the demand for 
 competent Journalists. More 
 eager than ever are the news- 
 papers to obtain the news, and 
 more willing are they than 
 ever to pay for it at the high- 
 est prices. All that they ask is 
 that the matter offered to them 
 shall be written in dexterous, 
 smooth, and intelligent manner, 
 technically known as "news 
 paper style," and which can 
 not be acquired without instruc- 
 tion. They are also on the alert 
 to supplement their forces with 
 bright, enthusiastic, and dili- 
 gent men and women. To such 
 they offer lucrative positions of importance, and an opportunity 
 to acquire all that the greatest ambition could desire. 
 
 /^^^RIBUTES TO JOURNALISM. . 
 
 The greatest minds bear willing tribute 
 to the glory and grandeur, the nobility and 
 paramount influence of Journalistic work 
 and trainiug. 
 
 Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the eloquent 
 evangelist of world wide fame, says of Jour- 
 nalism : ''In my opinion, every theological student in the 
 land ought to work on a newspaper for at least a }'ear 
 
 :-5jfe 
 
 in order to study human nature and gain the knowledge that it 
 
 is impossible to receive in the academy, at college, and in the 
 
 seminar}'. That's the trouble with preachers. They don't know 
 
 the men to whom they are 
 
 preaching and with whom 
 
 theyaredealing; they have 
 
 no knowledge of human 
 
 nature. The best way to 
 
 acquire all this is through 
 
 work on the press. So, you 
 
 see, I am a believer in the 
 
 newspaperand of thegreat 
 
 practical work which it 
 
 performs.'' 
 
 Prof. Noah Porter, the 
 author of the profound 
 work on " The Human hi- 
 tellect" in his series of in- 
 teresting essays on books 
 and readings, says : "The 
 
 journalist discourses to us with wisdom or wilduess, in sobernesR 
 or extravagance, of the interests that concern the commonweal, 
 or the themes which are uppermost for the hour or the week." 
 
 EROES IN MODERN LIFE. 
 
 A thousand appreciative eulogies of 
 " the Journalistic profession could be quoted, 
 but the following, from a recent number 
 of the Cosniopoltian, gives a graphic de- 
 scription of the place which the modern 
 Journalist occupies in the world's history : "A great newspaper 
 is one of the most gigantic, most highly systematized and 
 
 
filatioQal <5orrespor)6er)ee Institute, U/asbir^iJtor?, b. <?. 
 
 most elaborate organizations that can be found in our moilern 
 life. It has millions of capital invested in it. It has at its 
 disposal what is in reality a highly-trained arn:}', officered 
 with ability, industry, executive talent, energy and enthusiasm. 
 It commands the services of scores of intrepid, tireless, indom- 
 itable men who are inspired by the marvelous devotion to 
 their calling, which is one of the strauge.st phases of our 
 Journalism — men who will face hardship and privation, and 
 even disease and death, for the glory of that impersonal thing 
 
 which they have made 
 it their profession to 
 serve. The reporter, 
 the newspaper corre- 
 spondent, is one of the 
 few heroes whom the 
 "•commonplace routine 
 of modern life has still 
 permitted to survive. 
 "In the heart of 
 the desert, in the sav- 
 age silence of the trop- 
 ical jungle, where a 
 Livingstone or an 
 Emin issickeningwith 
 despair at his hopeless 
 isolation, a Journalist will seek him out and nonchalantly greet 
 him. In tlie thick of battle, when bullets are singing like hail- 
 stones in the air, and when the commanders themselves are 
 snugly ensconced over their telegraphic instruments in some 
 sheltered spot a league away, the newspaper correspondent will 
 sit his horse in sublime consciousness of danger, as he jots down 
 on his writing pad the fate of armies and the varying tide of war. 
 "The modern journal sends its ambassadors to foreign 
 countries and maintains them there at salaries which many 
 
 jJ,.Hu 
 
 diplomatic chiefs might envy. It enrolls statesmen and even 
 kings and princes among those who feed its columns ; it has its 
 finger on the pulse of every center of civilization throughout 
 the world. It pours out money like water, demanding special 
 railway service, chartering steamers, and netting the depths of 
 ocean with its cables." 
 
 Such is the Journalism of to-day, a profession without limit- 
 ation, offering a future of incalculable power to those who enter 
 it with a determination to succeed. 
 
 (j^^HE SCOPE OF JOURNALISM. 
 
 The broad field covered by modern Jour- 
 nalism is phenomenal. It rivals the mag- 
 azines in the excellence of its literary effort, 
 in its graphic descriptions of historical events, 
 in the cleverness of its fiction, and in the artistic accuracy 
 and value of its illustrations. All the best-known writers of 
 the present day, 
 includingAn- 
 t h o n y Hope, 
 Rudyard Kip- 
 ling, J. M. Ear- 
 rie,Conau Doyle 
 Bret Harte, Hall 
 Caiue and thous- 
 ands of others, 
 whose names 
 are household 
 words, contrib- 
 ute their highest 
 endeavor to the 
 newspaper. In 
 
Depart/Tiept of Journalism. 
 
 the columns of the daily -press Nauseu aud Peary are proud 
 to relate the story of their Arctic exploratious ; Rev. Dr Tal- 
 mage gladly preaches to the multitude, the politician sounds 
 the bugle call to his party followeis, aud the eutertaining story- 
 teller delights the young and old. 
 
 Many of the most noted aud successful au- 
 thors of the day began their career as newspaper 
 writers. Mark Twaiu placed his foot on the first round of 
 the ladder of fame as a newspaper reporter. Richard Harding 
 Davis received his first experience as a reporter on The Phila- 
 delphia Pi ess. It was in this capacity that they both gathered 
 the material for their most famous productions. 
 
 r^ 
 
 HE VALUE OF NEWS. 
 
 Journalism is, above all things, the 
 business of gathering readable material and 
 presenting it in an attractive, interesting, 
 forcible form. The ability to do this is not 
 so much an endowment of nature as a mat- 
 ter of training. The art of creating an 
 original story is inherited by many, yet the lack of literary 
 instruction prevents its proper presentation. To this may be 
 traced the failure of nearly all the aspirants to literary fame 
 whose efforts have failed to bring them success and fortune. 
 
 There is an ever-increasing market for well-written articles 
 on timely topics. There is an insatiable demand by the public 
 for original stories, which publishers are unable to supply, be- 
 cause of the dearth of good material. As a consequence, the 
 highest prices are paid for the product of expe- 
 rienced writers. 
 
 To this market the well equipped Journalist comes with 
 confidence ; certain that the product of his observant eye and 
 
 trained mind will command not only a high value but the 
 attention of thousands; will insure him recognition such as 
 would accrue from no other effort of 
 mind or hand. 
 
 The labor is easy, varied and 
 entertaining ; the reward is cer- 
 tain aud satisfactory. There are, 
 of course, great heights for all 
 who are especially adapted or 
 unusually ambitious. The man- 
 aging editor of the Neiv Yotk 
 Journal receives $25,000 a year ; 
 Alfred Henry Lewis, the political 
 writer and interviewer on the same 
 paper, receives fio.ooo; the Wash- 
 ington correspondents are paid 
 from $2,000 to |5,coo; aud there 
 are numerous positions paying the 
 same good salaries on even the 
 least known newspapers. In fact, 
 experience has shown that where 
 
 the laborer is worthy of his hire the financial recognition is 
 in proportion to honor and influence. 
 
 OURNALISM AS AN ACCOMPLISH- 
 MENT. 
 
 The value of Journalism as an accom- 
 plishment is incalculable. The doctor, the 
 laAvyer, the politician, tlie business 
 
 man — everyone who has occasion to express 
 his thoughts ou paper — must concede the help- 
 fulness of knowing how to state facts in forcible aud clear lan- 
 guage. Instruction in Journalism means lessons iu the ait of 
 
8 filatiooal <$orrespoT)der)ee 
 
 expression, the art of coudeusatiou, the art of graceful aud 
 accomplished writing. It means everything to a man who de- 
 sires to be regarded as well-educated in every sense.

 JOURNALISM 
 
 The field of Journalism grows broader 
 and broader in the opportunitj' which 
 
 FOR WOMEN. ^^ otters to women. No well-equipped 
 newspaper office to-day is without its staff 
 of women writers. They are peculiarly' fitted for chronicling 
 social events, for purely literary work ; for interviewing 
 notable women authors aud actresses ; for preparing timely 
 articles upou the changing fashions, aud for dealing with all 
 topics of feminine interest. Thousands of women have en- 
 tered Journalism of late 
 }'ears, aud find in the 
 work a congenial field 
 of labor, which not oulj' 
 pa3'S well, but adds mate- 
 rially to their influence. 
 Journalism is one of the 
 most attractive employ- 
 ments for womeu, be- 
 cause her work is dig- 
 nified and pleasant, aud 
 her writing can very 
 largely be done at 
 home. Nearly all the 
 prominent female writers 
 of the present day — 
 womeu whose work now 
 commands large prices in 
 the magazines — have 
 graduated from the Jour- 
 nalistic ranks. 
 
 I BECORIE A JOUR- 
 
 It is a mistake to believe that all Jour- 
 nalists are born. In fact, the most successful 
 Journalists of to-day are men who had no ex- 
 traordinary education, and who at first dis- 
 played no especial adaptabilit\- for their work. Horace 
 Greeley, Charles A. Dana, aud all the men whose names 
 are monuments iu the newspaper profession came up from the 
 rauks and achieved fame aud fortune through their own efforts. 
 That there are thousands of men aud women iu the United 
 States who are equally capable of becoming Journalists of high 
 distinction, if their latent talents are only developed and then 
 directed by experienced miuds, can not be doubted. In prep- 
 aration for Journalistic work g-eniiis is not absolutely 
 essential. AVith proper traiuins, any man or 
 woman of ordinary intelligence can be equipped 
 to enter the profitable Journalistic field. Any oue 
 who can write a friend an account of the happeningsof the house- 
 hold—the daily events of even the most prosaic life— possesses 
 at the ver}' outset the fundamental qualifications of a Journalist. 
 
 The first requisites to success iu Journalism are ambition, 
 perseverance, aud plain common sense. 
 
 The ability to recognize uews can be learned. The construc- 
 tion of sentences, the acquirement of a style, the polished touch 
 that makes a newspaper article readable, a story fascinating, 
 an editorial powerful, is but the result of careful training. 
 
 The fact that the professiou of Journalism is not over- 
 crowded is due, not to the lack of ability on the pirt of Journal- 
 istic aspirants, but to the absence of training ; to the need of 
 practical knowledge of the essential requirements. 
 
 The editor of the modern newspaper is too busy to teach 
 the novice, too much absorbed iu his great work to rewrite 
 
bepartfr\eT)t of Journalism. 
 
 or even criticise the crude production, even though the facts 
 may be of the utmost value. It is for this reason that meu and 
 women, who not onl)- possess literary ability, but many of the 
 qualifications which would enable them to achieve distinction in 
 Journalism find no hand outstretched to help them. 
 
 Modern methods of education have, however, opened the 
 door of the newspaper sanctum, the magazine office, the pub- 
 lishing house, to those who are determined to succeed in the 
 literary world. 
 
 The School of Journalism is the 
 result of the never-ceasing demand 
 j#\v for more and better writers. It is 
 the bridge by which all earnest 
 workeis may reach the height of 
 their ambition. So important has it 
 grown as a factor of education that 
 nearl}' all the leading colleges and 
 universities are attaching schools of 
 Journalism to their curriculum. In 
 nearU' all the other large cities 
 schools of Journalism have been 
 successfully established. 
 
 These schools of Journalism, 
 however, are not free from serious 
 objections. They are not easily' at- 
 tended by those who have not the 
 good fortune to be college students 
 or who do not reside in the large cities. In addition to this, the 
 pupil must pay a large tuition fee and must also meet the ex- 
 penses of living. The schools, not being numerous, are widely 
 .situated and not easily reached. Many of them are inferior in 
 their methods and equipment, but are nevertheless patronized, 
 because they offer the only convenient entrance to the Journal- 
 istic profession. 
 
 ( J^ja^HE KEY TO THE SITUATION. 
 
 agl^a;- A careful study by eminent educators and 
 
 ' ■'^jB'^'" ' experienced Jourualists of existing methods 
 
 ^^ has resulted in the formation of plans that 
 
 are destined to revolutionize the art of teach- 
 ing Journalism. All the obstacles in the 
 present sj'stems have been overcome, all faults obviated, 
 all objections banished, making' it possible to teach 
 Journalism in all its branches thoroughly and 
 accnratel}' without the necessity of the student leaving home 
 or interfering with his present occupation until he is fully 
 competent to enter the Journalistic field. These plans have 
 been adopted exclusively by The National Correspond- 
 ence Institute, which, in connection with its large and 
 growing system of teaching by correspondence, has organized 
 and established the most completelj' equipped School of Jour- 
 nalism in the country. 
 
 CORRESPOND- 
 
 Teaching by correspondence is not 
 a new and untried experiment. It has

 this Institute. It is an elaboration of the Chautauqua plan, which 
 has done so much to disseminate intelligence throughout the 
 countr\-, and of the University Extension plan, to the excellent 
 results of which thousands upou thousands throughout the 
 entire length and breadth of* the United States have borne 
 grateful witness. Journalism is particularly adapted 
 to the correspondence system of imparting instruction, 
 as it involves writing almost exclusively. 
 
 N EMINENT JOURNALIST 
 SECURED. 
 
 Realizing the importance of practical 
 K^M^^ teachers for practical work the National Cor- 
 
 ^ ^^^^^ respondence Institute School of Journalism 
 
 has placed this new department in charge of 
 Mr. Henry Litolitield AVest, who 
 has been for many j'ears recognized as one of the most 
 capable and successful Journalists at the National Capital. 
 Mr. West is a trained newspaper man, whose father was 
 the editor-iu chief of the New Yoik Coinineicial Adver- 
 tiser. He began his newspaper career at the very foot of the 
 ladder, serving his apprenticeship, so to speak, in a country 
 newspaper office, and rose through every grade from the ranks 
 of reporting to the responsible position of managing editor of 
 the Washington Post, a place which he held for many 3-ears. 
 He is now in charge of the Congressional and political work on 
 that paper, and has achieved a wide fame by his accurate judg- 
 ment and by the brilliant and graphic descriptions of the many 
 NatioualConveutions which he has reported. Mr. West is also 
 a magazine writer of acknowledged ability, and his recent article 
 in the Forum,, entitled "The Autocrat of Congress," caused 
 
 comment from Maine to California. He has also been a con- 
 tributor to the North American Review and other standard 
 periodicals. His eminence in his profession is attested by the 
 high praise bestowed upon him by his colleagues. 
 
 Mr. AVest, in his position as city editor and managing editor, 
 as well as in other branches of editorial work, has had 
 Avide experience in trainiug newspaper men, 
 
 and the tact and ability which he has brought to bear 
 upon the work of developing Journalists is already insur- 
 ing gratifying success 
 for the School of 
 Journalism in connec- 
 tion with the National : ;, 
 Correspondence Insti- 
 tute. It might be re- 
 marked, in passing, 
 that Mr. Karl Decker, 
 the daring journalist, 
 whose recent feat in 
 rescuing Miss Cisueros 
 from a Cuban prison 
 caused a world wide 
 sensation, received his 
 first newspaper in- 
 structions from Mr. 
 West. While Mr. West 
 
 will have charge of the Department of Journalism, he will 
 be assisted by a corps of equally capable, e,\peri- 
 euced, and accomplished journalists, who, having 
 traveled over the paths which lead to success, and being 
 familiar, through long years of experience, with the work 
 of developing journalists, are peculiarly fitted to imparti 
 with prompt yet certain methods, the knowledge which they 
 have gained. 
 
(J^^HE NEW PLAN. 
 
 Departmeot of Jour9alis/T\. 
 
 lii 
 
 With this corps of instructors the School 
 _ ^^""^ M of Journalism of the Nalioual Correspondence 
 ■^^Hjw Institute proposes to mold iuto enduring form 
 the plastic qualities of the student's mind. 
 It will act as guide and instructor, discerning 
 with unfaltering judgment the many excellent traits which 
 will undoubtedly be displayed, but also pointing out, with 
 solicitous care, any defects v. hich may be apparent in Journal- 
 istic efforts. It asks of the student only perseverance and a 
 desire to learn. It is the well-equipped, steady, reliable worker, 
 and not the erratic, spasmodic character, who makes fame and 
 money. " Genius is the infinite capacity for taking pains," says 
 Carlyle, and iu the journalistic field this is the sort of genius 
 which finds the most prosperous returns. 
 
 COURSES OF The plan of instruction comprises four 
 
 INSTRUCTION. courses, the first being the English 
 Course, for those whose advantages of 
 education have not been sufiicient to warrant the commence- 
 ment of literary work without further preparation ; the Prac- 
 tical Course, which includes instructions in all the essen- 
 tial features of newspaper work ; the Complete Course, 
 which carries the pupil into the higher realm of fiction and 
 criticism; the Special Course, which affords the literary 
 worker the best means of securing intelligent and competent 
 judgment upon bis work, so as to enable him to produce the 
 best results and remove obstructions from the path which 
 leads to recognition in the magazines ; and the Select Course, 
 which secures improvement of the mind, facility and forceful- 
 ness of expression, as well as a beneficial acquaintance with 
 literature, 
 
 JOURNALISTIC ENGLISH.— Orthography, punctua- 
 tion, capitalization, construction of sentences, grammar, etc. 
 The students in oithography will be drilled in some twenty-five 
 hundred or more words in common usage which are often mis- 
 spelled. In punctuation they will be made acquainted with the 
 correct use of the various punctuation marks : period, comma, 
 semicolon, colon, dash, etc. In capitalization the correct use 
 of capitals will be explained and practice m their use will be 
 given. The instruction in gram- 
 mar will familiarize the students 
 with the use of correct English. 
 7/ie preparatoiy coiiise will be 
 essential to all who tack the 
 advantages of a high-school or 
 college education or their equiv- 
 alents. 
 
 PRACTICALJOUR- 
 NALISM. — The Practical 
 Course will be thorough and 
 practical, as its name implies, 
 directing each pupil iu the line 
 of journalistic work. It will 
 include : 
 
 (a) The Study of Words,

 ing. — How to write an interview

 ujanner. Interviewing has be- 
 come one of the most conspicu- 
 ous features of the Journalistic

 genious writer, and well-written 
 interviews are always at a pre- 
 mium in the Journalistic market. 
 (/) Editorial Writing. — 
 Modern Journalism depends 
 greatly upon forceful editorial writing for its success. The ed- 
 itorial expression is peculiar in itself, being in the nature of 
 comment, either critical or approving, upon current events A 
 vigorous editorial style is imparted to the student. 
 
 ( 0-) The Art of Proof Reading.— How to read and mark 
 proof, with practical illustrations. A necessarv adjunct to a 
 thorough knowledge of journalistic work. 
 
 COMPLETE JOURNALISM.— Aptitude and ability in 
 Journalistic work, when displayed by the pupil, will naturally 
 stimulate the desire to become thoroughly equipped in tlie 
 higher branches of the profession. The Advanced Course will 
 meet this demand and will include, in addition to the 
 essential parts of the Practical Course: 
 
 (a) Book Reviewing. — The reviewing of hooks has become 
 an indispensaljle feature of Journalisni, Stiulenls are given

 •um

 mantic, etc. — are described and the student guided in their prep- 
 aration. The work of the pupil

 pecial attention. 
 
 THE SPECIAL COURSE. 
 — The Special Course will be 
 of gi'eat value to those who 
 have already endeavored to 
 secure acceptance of literary 
 work but have failed to gain 
 a foothold in the ranks of suc- 
 cessful authors. T/ie publish- 
 ers have neither the time nor 
 the indiitation to criticise the 
 iiiajmscripts ivhich they find 
 unavailable. We have, in 
 connection with the School of 
 Journalism, a Department 
 ol Kejccted Manuscripts, 
 in which all manuscripts sub- 
 mitted to us will be carefully ex- 
 amined and their imperfections 
 corrected, P.v the valuable aid

 thus aflForded, the rejected article is relieved of the defects which 
 operated against its acceptance and the literary worker is en- 
 abled to secure recognition in his profession. 
 
 SELECT COURSE. —This course embraces subjects 
 selected from the Practical and Complete Join nalism and is de- 
 signed for teachers, lawyers, doctors — in fact, all professional 
 and business men and women who desire instruction in com- 
 position and literary work as an accomplishment and who do 
 not wish to follow Journalism as a profession. It is especially 
 adapted to those who are anxious to acquire a wider acquaintance 
 with literature and to improve their ease, grace and forcefulness 
 of expression. Lawyers, phj-sicians, teachers, clerks, business 
 men and women, who feel the need of improvement in this 
 direction, having been unable through circumstances to develop 
 their literary faculties, will find in this course, which will include 
 the study of language, rhetoric and logic, and the analysis and 
 criticism of the best publications of standard authors, the most 
 valuable assistance, especially in aiding them in the prepara- 
 tion of papers on professional subjects. 
 
 IRECT METHODS WITH THE 
 PUPIL. 
 
 Under the new plan the pupil is brought 
 into direct relation with his teacher. The 
 work of the new aspirant for Journalistic fame 
 and honor is, by this method of instruction, 
 submitted persoiially to the corps of teaclier.s, who 
 examine it carefully, commend its excellencies and detect and 
 criticise its weakness, acquainting the pupil with the results of 
 the examination in personal letters to each individual 
 student. No plan could be evolved which is better adapted to 
 this busy world. This work can all be done at home, in the spare 
 moments, obviating the necessity of expensive trips to the city. 
 There is no time limit to the lessons. A person with 
 much leisure can, of course, make the most rapid progress. 
 
 13-^ 
 
 But even those who have only a brief period in each day or 
 week or month to devote to the acquisition of Journalistic knowl- 
 edge and methods will be enabled, _ „: ,, ' ~ 
 under our system, soon to become "'' ^ 
 proficient in their chosen pofessiou. 
 TIME The scholarship is 
 REQUIRED, iion-forfeitable. This 
 gives to the students 
 ample opportunity to progress as 
 the time at their disposal ma}' war- 
 rant or their inclination may sug- 
 gest. Thework can be accomplished 
 without conflicting with regular oc- 
 cupation or with recreation. At the 
 same time the course, as planned, if 
 pursued witti average diligence, can 
 be completed in from six to twelve 
 months ; but it will be possible for 
 those who have abundant leisure to 
 graduate in a shorter period of time. Persons already 
 engaged in .Tournalisni, who desire to advance them- 
 selves in literary work will find the methods and scope in the 
 higher courses of the National Correspondence Institute School 
 of Journalism admirably adapted to their purposes. Less time is 
 required for them to complete a course than for others who have 
 not had the training acquired by experience. 
 
 RACTICAL METHODS OF IN- 
 STRUCTION. 
 
 The plan of instruction is thoroughly 
 __ ^ practical. It provides a regular course for 
 
 each pupil, which includes a study of the 
 best style in English literature, a series 
 of home readings, accurate criticism of grammar and ex- 
 pression and the acquisition of an extended vocabtxlary, 
 
H 
 
 f/atiorjal <?orrespor;ider)ee Institute, U/ast^ipcJtor?, D. <?. 
 
 The National Correspondence Institute School of Journalism 
 does not, however, rely upon Macaulay's essays or Longfellow's 
 poems as providing the best methods of preparing for a suc- 
 cessful career in Journal- 
 ism. It presents a much 
 more practical and per- 
 sonal plan. Its experi- 
 enced teachers know what 
 is wanted by the reading 
 public, and they propose 
 to give to the pupils of 
 the National Correspond- 
 ence Institute School of 
 Journalism the benefit of 
 this knowledge. Each 
 pupil will be directed in 
 the line of genuine, prac- 
 tic.ll work, so as to com- 
 pletely and thoroughly fit 
 him for any position ou 
 any newspaper, and for 
 ■ ■ all the branches of Jour- 
 nalistic work, from re- 
 porting to story-writing. It explains to the would-be Jour- 
 nalist the methods by which the details of railroad wrecks, 
 tragedies, social events, conventions, political gatherings, court 
 cases, etc., are first gathered and are then woven into a news 
 paper article. The student prepares accounts of daily events, 
 writes interviews, discusses current topics, thus acquiring the 
 newspaper style, so invaluable in Journalism. All work, no 
 matter how crude and amateurish it may be, is carefully 
 reviewed and criticised, its merits and deficiencies being re- 
 ported to the pupil, and the remedy suggested. In this waj' 
 cac'li stiKU'iit is in(livMlua11,y iiistruct<'<l, iliuf; doing 
 
 away with the vital defect of class instruction, where the bright- 
 est and most progressive student must be retarded by the lag- 
 gard. 
 
 Ifo student will be graduated until he or she 
 is thoroTiglilj' equipped. 
 
 AKING IT PAY 
 
 There is not a town in the United States 
 but furnishes news to either ils local journal 
 or to the larger newspaper of some neigh- 
 boring city. There is no reason why 
 you should not become equipped 
 for the work of supplying' news. 
 Under ordinary circumstances you can soon earn the amount 
 required for your neces- 
 sary tuition. Yon will be 
 taught to recognize news 
 at first sight, so to speak, 
 while others, with senses 
 undeveloped, pass it by. 
 Having acquired this fac- 
 ulty, you will be shown 
 how to express }'Our ideas 
 in the best manner, and 
 also how to find a market 
 for \-our work so as to se- 
 cure financial return. In 
 all of this you will have 
 the advantage over those 
 who are struggling along, 
 hoping to achieve suc- 
 cess, but without the least

 idea of fuadamental principles or of advanced or modern meth- 
 ods. Even if you should not desire to follow journalism as a 
 profession, the instruction which j'ou will receive in literary 
 work will be of incalculable benefit, enabling you to develop 
 your intellectual faculties along the pleasantest as well as the 
 most profitable paths. 
 
 OW TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT. 
 
 Not only does the School of Journalism 
 teach the proper methods of preparing man- 
 uscript for the newspapers and the maga- 
 zines ; not only does it examine and criticize 
 the work of its pupils, but it will, by its wide 
 acquaintance and through the reputation 
 which it has already acquired, be able to place the pupil 
 In coiniminication witli the large and small 
 dailies, and thus opeu the way for remunerative employment. 
 It is proposed, for instance, to place at the disposal of the 
 leading dailies in each State a list of the pupils of the National 
 Correspondence School of Journalism who have become com- 
 petent, after a course of instruction, to undertake any work 
 which raaj' be assigned them. Managing editors of the great 
 dailies are constantly compelled to telegraph to various points 
 in their respective States, or even in far outlying sections, for 
 news that they require. The list of thoroughly equipped 
 Journalists which the National Correspondence Institute will 
 
 furnish will be, in itself, a recommendation of capacity, and will 
 be accepted as such by the managing editors. It is easy to see 
 that by thus placing the names of our pupils in the offices of all 
 the principal papers of the country, accompanied with our cer- 
 tificate of competency, we establish business relations which are 
 sure to be profitable and advantageous to all parties. 
 
 OUR The Seal of the School of Journalism of the National 
 
 SEAL. Correspondence Institute, when affixed to the di- 
 ploma, gives to those who finish the complete course a 
 guarantee that the graduate has become fully equipped in every 
 detail of Journalistic work. The requirements of the School 
 will be such as to 
 demand of the 
 student a thorough 
 knowledge of the 
 Journalistic profes- 
 sion before the di- 
 ploma can be ob- 
 tained. Students 
 who thus complete 
 the course will 
 possess a practical 
 letter of rec- 
 oinineudation 
 which cannot fail 
 to command great 
 weight in the Jour- 
 nalistic world.
