Excerpt from The Well of English and the Bucket
Recent years have produced a steadily increasing number of published guides to short story writing, lessons in journalism, aids to advertisement writers, and the like. Their appearance proves a widening interest in vocational training for the profession of letters. To one who holds that pure literature has thriven best as an avocation, and that the extended development of writing as a business has somewhat lowered its standards, many of these textbooks make small appeal. To be sure, journalism, in so far as the term refers to the business of making a newspaper, has now its professional schools, where classroom study of theory supplements laboratory practice; and results have justified their establishment and the compiling of many textbooks suited to their needs.
