The Newspaper Hind Sight.
The Pittsburg Dispatch

One of the curious types of humanity
that occasionally come under the micro
scope is the individual who is supersen-
sitive about spelling and pronunciation,
and who discovers typographical errors
in the newspapers and writes immedi-
ate and urgent letters concerning them
and the misapplication of terms or mis-
use of words in the prints of the day.
In a great newspaper office during the
intricate process of handling news and
other matter in the briefest possible
space of time it will occasionally occur
that a letter will get in upside down, or
having fallen out of the forms i'm the
handling will get back somewhere in
the wrong place, and it will sometimes
happen that a foreign word will take on
the wrong gender for the English text,
or that even a common English word
will slip the keen eye of the proofread-
ers. And it has been known that line
or paragraph from one article has actu-
ally sneaked into the middle of another
article on wholly different subject
Human ingenuity, the most extraordi-
nary care, the keenest foresight and the
strictest discipline seem powerless to
prevent these things. They go right on
happening from day to day and are in
finitely more painful to the man re-
sponsible for them than they could pos
sibly be to the individual members of
society at large. But | have often
wondered what would become of the
newspaper hind sight who writes let
ters calling attention to them the next
day if they could be prevented. 1t
would cut off one of the apparently
sweetest pleasures of daily existence.
Hind sight is really the thing that
pushes the weak and erring world
