The Joy of Journalists.

Perhaps because SO many authors OF
popular fiction are former reporters the
impression has become pretty firmly es-
taDlished that journalism is a poor school
for the training of writers. Enforced
haste in composition and the distractions
on writing in q newspaper
office preclude great nicely OF style and
results often in crude workmanship. One
recalls the letter written by Robert Louis
Stevenson to Richard Harding Davis, then
a reporter, and to others working
with him, that If they ever expected 10
become writer's they would have to burn
the midnight oil in overcoming the faults
contracted In the hurried pounding out OF
stories and ideas in the days work.
But now comes Anatole France, the
master French stylist, with a word OF
cheer for the plodGing thousands Of en-
bryo Thackerays and S%tevensons in news

q book of verse, ito believe that one
spoils his pen in writing for the news
papers. On the contrary, one gains in

readiness without which the phrase does
not move gracefully and never smiles"

ined in the city Of New York in 1914,
l94,2O7. or 1913 per cent, suffered from
defective teeth. This exceeded the sum
total Of all the other defects noted by
nearly so 600. Disorders OF the digestive
tract, tuberculosis and various other
diseases frequently are preceded by
diseased conditions in the mouth. There
IS a direct relationship between dental
development and mental development,
and 1t is absolutely essential to good
work in schols that children's teeth be
maintained in a healthy condition. The
public health service recommends that
a Sood tooth brush be included in the
list of Christmas gifts for every Amer
lean child, and that its use be made a
part of the daily training. If this rec
~ommendation is carried out, the Uni
