that the schoolmaster has not been

editors be made to understand that
adjutant generals and Knight Tenn

the on the wrong word. Some edi-
tors go so far as to put it Knights
Templars, instead of the correct form,
knights Templar. These errors are
seen every day in our leading news
papers. And a controller general or
an attorney general is called sure

number of public personages now
contributing to the output of printed
matter in one way or another is much
larger than ever before. Many of these
write articles with their own pens, and
are handsomely paid for their work
much better paid, in fact, than any
professional writers except those who
can produce fiction of the highest
grade.
Public men who have got into the
habit of turning their thoughts and
experience into copy" at so much q
word are very difficult subjects for
the interviewer to tackle. and this is
quite natural. There can be no good
reason in their mind why they should
give up good printable material for
nothing, seeing that the publishers
are glad to give dollars in exchange
for 1t.
Fortunately for the interviewers,
however, large proportion of the pub
lie men whose names are signed to ar
ticles in the weekhes and monthlies
have neither the time, the inclination,
nor the training, to produce them in
good printable form
These men form goodly proper
ton of the hack writers" available
sources nowadays, and / have in
mind three or four such writers who
make fairly comfortable hvings inter-
viewing public characters, writing out
the interviews in the first person, get
ting the putative author to sign and
stand for the results, and then SELL
ing the same. In one week one of these
writer's published four articles signed
by four we'll known names in three
periodicals. One of the articles pur-
ported to be written by diplomatist,
one by an actress of reputation, one
by a Captain of Industry" and one
by a legislator. Curiously enough,
the two last named articles touched
about the same grounds. but the points
made and the agreements advanced
were along Numerically opposing
lines.
