Boys Essay
On Editors

A country schoolboy was told to
write an essay on editors, says the
Fallbrook (Calif.) Enterprise, and this
is the result:
Don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world. / don't think the
good Lord does, for he amt got moth
ing to say about an editor in the Bible.
I think the editor is one of fthe miss
ing links you read of, and stayed in
the bushes until after the food and
then came out and wrote the thing up
and has been here ever since. l don't
think he ever died. I never seen a
dead one and never heard of one get
ting licked.
eff doctor makes a mistake he
buries it, and people dassent say
nothin'.
when the editor makes mistake
there is big swearing and big fuss,
but if the doctor makes mistake
there is a funeral, cut flowers and per-
feet silence.
"a doctor can use a word a yard
long without anyone knowing what it
is, but if an editor uses one he has to
spell it.
"Any old college can make doctor,
but an editor has to be born"
