MAKING A DICTIONARY.
The Colossal Task Of Selecting ths
Words to Be Used.

The COLOSSAL Task Of Selecting The
Words to Be Used.
One Of the men who compiled a big
dictionary talks as follows about the
way the work was done:
From the largest dictionary Of the
language all the words were diligently
copied, and then each of the smaller
dictionaries was checked of in turn
against this growing list When the
dictionaries had been thus exhausted
all the living authors Of works that
had an uutlonbted standard value were
secured TO contribute from their works
such words as they had used that were
not found in the general dictionaries.
In addition 20 this. the services Of
about 500 readers were utilized. among
whom was distributed an the standard
literature srom Chaueer to the present
time. These readers were Instructed
to report such words as seemed to he
