Considering The Marvelous Amount of Work Handled by Modern Print Shop, The Mistake Are Few. , By Observer in The Monroe Journal. Everyone who writes for the news papers, especially North Carolina papers, eaa )uite understand the feelings of Mrs. Funderburk, the sunny philosopher who writes of The Joarnal,- over the fact that the proof reader sometimes gets care less 'with her grammar, spelling, and even the syntax at times. You are not likely to get a whole article printed rorrectly la any paper in that State that I have ever tried,unless you have it very care fully typewritten and no errors tn the eopy. Even then yoo are likely te, see your best paragraph spoiled by a whole line of type, appearing In the wrong place and playing smash with your best thought. . I have always ronsidered the type setting machine and the fast press a deadly enemy to the beauty and cor rectness of the Engliah language. The reason is that these machines nave, made production possible on so very large a scale that there is not time for the neces sary care either 'for typographical excel lence or for beauty and carefulness in ex- preeiion. , . The old time hand printer was often a man of excellent education and always one of good training in the more simple matters of spelling and grammar. , He took a pride in setting a good proof. Be began in the business as a boy and be came proficient in spelling and construc tion by, practice, even if hjf had not the opportunity of previous education. Then he took time to look in the distlonary if lie were uncertain about the spelling or use of the word. If he were especially good the editor and other -writers "left much ta his judgment. But in some of fices there was a tradition that a printer must follow copy even if it Took him out of the window, meaning that ne was al lowed no discretion, even to eorrect a pal pable error in the ropy. In such offices the writers were held responsible for cor rect copy, It is uid that1 Ilorace Gree ley wrote such a bad hand that only one printer could set his editorials. , This man was very proficient, as the story goes. But sometimes he would get a Greeley edi torial out of which he could make neither heud or tail. ' On such occasions be was wont to go down and ask Mr. Greeley what' he waa writing about. On being told the Bead of the article he could tart right off and set' the whole thing correctly.

They took a bug, dipped ; it into the iuk bottle, and allowed it to crawl over a sheet of edi torial paper, guiding it roughly la line across the sheet. When the eopy went up to the printer he waa s:umped and went down to ak Mr. Greciey want he was wri tins: about that ni?ht. Th old gentleman waa puuled, bi.t Anally dtN-ileU that it was about the nnromnltionality ol some proposed law. whereunon the old printer went backhand set up tho article wiinout an error. No. the mistakes ar not wnollv tiie fault of the modern priuter. In fact there is not any modern typesetter in the real sense of tiie word, ne is a ntacnlnlat. i He operates the machine and is concern ed about the smooth working of the ma chine and the amount of production he ran get out of it. He is not often a man of much education or of long train ing, and is not much of a speller. As long as z copy runs familiarly to him he is allright, but nn unuHual word or au involved construction, is slapdashed into something which he thinks it ought to be. lie is not to blame. He is act ing only in the spirit of the. times and the necessity of the occasion. A hoge a mount of type must be set, often from poor and dim copy, must be corrected, stereotyped perhaps, and put on the press within about the spnde of time that the old printers would have required to get their sleeves rolled up and otherwise ready to begin work. And after all our an noyances, the correctness and accuracy with which this huge amount ofiatter is handled are marvelous.
