THE. TYPESETTER

The work of setting type is one
of the most important branches of
the printing trade, aud requires
certain amount of skill which can
only be acquired by experience.
Therefore the experienced reliable
typesetter is valuable man in the
printing business.
There are several definite classes
of typesetters or compositors. The
compositor employed in the setting
of type for books is one of them.
Another is the job compositor.
Another very important class of
compositors consist of the men en-
gagged in the newspaper printing
office working the linotype machine.
Every young man who desires to
become typesetter must possess
certain definite liking for mechan-
ical work. He must have a quick-
ness of eye, be rapid in his move
ments and be at all times wide
awake. He must especially be mas
ter of spelling and punctuation and
have good grammar school educa-
ton. The only way to learn the
work of typesetting is to enter
printing shop as an apprentice.
Three to five years is the tine usual
ly required to complete the term of
apprenticeship. All learners re-
ceive small wage from the period
of apprenticeship. which varies with
the locality, size of shop, and kind
of printing done. The average pay,
however, is one dollar per day. At
the end of three to five years the
young man becomes journeyman
printer, or compositor, entitled to
full paw.
Most typesetters receive from 1914
to $50 per week. Foremen in Of
fees receive more. The highest
paid men in this line of business are
those engaged in setting up type for
advertisements. This work requires
special care and skill. These men
receive as high as $40 per week.
