PRlN TING.

"Our teacher took us to the printing
office 50 we might learn something
about printing. 1t is wonderful
thing to know how cur books and
newspapers are printed. These books
and newspapers are printed on great
machines. The words are first set
up in type. Type is little pieces of
metal with letters on the ends. They
take these letters and spell ont words
With them arranging them in their
proper place Then they are covered
with ink and the sheets Of paper
passed over them and printed They
have little boxes to put the letters in.
The box which contains the Is in it
is the largest box because they use
them more.
When they get their type set ready
to print one man stands up by the
feeding board and feeds the machine
with large sheets Of paper. At the
back Of the press is lount which
contains ink. The roller goes down
to the ink and runs back over the
type and the blank paper is passed
over type by the biz roller and print
ed. This great press is run by water.
After the papers are printed they
told them up. In some printing
Offices the papers are folded by a !
machine. 1t is not known when
printing from type was first invented
Six hundred years ago there were no
printing office. 1t is no wonder that
books were very scarce for every one
had to be written by hand. Today
we have thousands and thousands Of
papers printed each day. We should
be proud of this great invention.
There are lots Of funny things to
know about setting type. The let
lers are set up side down and back
ward, but when they are printed they
are all right. In large cities the type
is set up by machines. In that way
they can set type so fast that they
print their newspaper twice each day.
