Noting the rapid growth of journalism curricula in American colleges, the author emphasizes how "journalism has been and remains today without any well understood training course for its teachers" and with excessive emphasis upon practical training. Includes a comparative reference to agriculture curricula in that regard. Describes needed criteria for such curricula, and for teacher qualifications.
