editors statement:
"It seems to me that no one in the
world can get as much fun out Of
work as we editors do. And It Is
'chieuly because we are always find
ing something new.
? "You take home at night a heap
of dumb, llfeless looking manuscripts
'all the time feeling, within leap
ing hope that among them you will
find new writer, new talent,
new expression. No matter how
many disappontments, as you go
iover one after another, there is the
same thrill OF expectancy when you
open new one. And then, per-
haps not that night or even the next,
but sometime, you start page, the
mind is stirred, you forget your
self and your quest, till at the end
you want to shout with joy. You
have found something real at last.

,as has not been mine since the first
written draft of Tarkington's Gen
tleman from Indiana was handed to
me by Viola Roseboro with glowing
eyes. On my way down here l began
to read that nicely typewriter copy
of 'Margaritas Soul. Not three
lines down the first page something
happened old thrill of discovery
the sense of penetrating new
iworld Of romance, of getting back to
youth again.
