“SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.”
YOUNG MAN SENT TO GAOL. WELLINGTON, Sept. 30. George Henry Stevens, a young man charged at the Magistrate’s Court with attempted false pretences in connection with his venture entitled “De Bourde School of Journalism,” pleaded guilty and had nothing to say. The police stated that Stevens was for a short time on the staff of two Wellington papers, but was dismissed for incompeteucy. He went to America as a steward, and when he returned launched out as an instructor in journalism, charging £2O for the full course, and £8 for an ordinary course. A detective who took a course deliberately made mistakes, some of which wore uncorrected by acoused. Accused alleged that he had had four years’ experience on the New Zealand I imes and various English papers and had students in Australia and elsewhere. Between £4O and £6O had been received in fees, mostly from women. Mr Hunt said the police performed a public service in bringing such cases, and imposed one month’s imprisonment.
