Some people seem to imagine
that when they discover an error
in a newspaper that the editor
is almost guilty of a crime or has
committed an inexcusable act.
when it is realized that a paper
the size Of the Review for in.
stance is composed of about fifty
thousand separate pieces of metal
each week, il can readily be seen
that it is the easiest thing in the
world to transpose or disarrange
these pieces of metal in some
small particular. In writing let
ters a person may let an pass
for an /, an a for an o, an for
an u, and so on, but in cold
type the mistake is easily dis.
cernable. Then mistakes occur
in names, or in street or phone
numbers. So many names sound
so much alike when pronouced
over the phone, and many people
are careless in writing them so
that many times the printer has
TO make guess as TO what the
name is really intended for.
And il is quite surprising the
number Of people who cannot
spell correctly. Then in com
municating verbally some item
of news the editor does not catch
names correctly sometimes, and
especially Is this true when there
are other names that sound quite
similar when pronounced. The
editor is somewhat at disad
vantage over the individual, be
cause when he inadvertently
allows a mistake to be printed IN
his paper everybody knows it..
while with the individual, he may
make dozen a day AID only bis
close associates would probably
know anything about 10. There.
fore. until people speak auC
write distinctly and the editor
hears and disccrns correctly mis-
takes will occur in the news.
papers. II cannot be avoided
otherwise. The big daily pa
pers have men who do nothing
else but read proof. yet it is
doubtful If many days pass in
which there is not an error o.
more in the paper. In publish
ing the small weekly papers the
editor must edit the paper, read
the proof, put in much of his
time in the mechanical depart
ment. and gather news between
times: il he cannot or will not do
these things his charcps of re-
manning in the newspaper 'usi-
ness for any extended period of
time are nil. So when you see
an error in the paper do not fly
into Mysteries or cl5ta TRADE of
abuse upon the editor. You can
depend upon il that IL was not
done Intentionally. because the
editor dislikcs the fact even
more than you when errors APP
pear in his paper. But he is not
infallible. nor is he q mind read
or, He is liable to err even rs
