Show MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate What the Production of a Great Journal Involves. The ordinary reader, as he opens his daily journal, is content with a vague feeling that it somehow edits and composes com-poses itself; he seldom reflects upon the immense amount of organization, upon the care in the selection of news, and even upon the mechanical skill in adjustment so that every column may be exactly filled, which are required for even the most normal issue. He seldom reflects upon the speed with which it all has to be done. That a great paper should appear morning after morning generally correct In its news, readable and sound In its literary liter-ary matter, accurate in Its printing, that it should be distributed all over th country and the world at the right moment, is none the less a marvel because it has happened so often that people have ceased to look upon It with surprise. |
