The Ideal Editor.

A recent address en- "Jonrnalism, -
BY G. A. Dana, editor Of the Sun, is
full Of shrewd suggestions, not only
to editors, but to the large portion of
the public who think that they know
better how to run q newspaper than
does the editor. Tho sum of the ad.
dress is that an all-round education is
essential to the highest success.
What Cicero said of the orator is still
more true Of the editor. No kind Of
knowledge fails to be useful to him.
Yet be must have versatility OF mind
to make his knowledge useful, besides
a quickness Of perception gained only
by experience tina. enables him to
decide promptly What will interest
the part of the public that he reaches.
The ability to see and report fact
exactly As it is cannot be dispensed
with. In short, the editor must be
ono who has the widest human sym.
pathies, and, if he would influe nee the
world. Is should be tho generous am
bition Of every writer. be must be-
come interested in politics, theology.
aud all other forces that affect human
progress. A man without this ideal
may be . successful writer, but he
cannot be Q successful editor.
