It has long become a trite and probably too cynical a by-word among newspaper men that most readers believe they could edit a newspaper better than the men who may have grown callons and probably hard-boiled in the business—there is really a great divergence of opinion as to whether . newspaper work can be dignified under profess jons. * ‘The women who invaded the composing and edi- torial rooms of the Sioux Falls paper must have realized some of the obstacles encountered by those who daily mirror for some sixty million or more readers the great human drama we call life. s It is not an easy task to edit a newspaper, but it is not wholly a thankle joyless or unremunera- tive job, for every servant should be worthy of his hire, but it is a business the routine of which the man in the street has little or no conception and by the very reason of newspaper operation he cannot have. He gees into a store and a bank and the operation which cashes his check or renews his note is a visible one. The true of the grocery or departinent st: “lose contact has familiarized the customer of these businesses with the processes through which he receives merchandise and service * of various kinds. Not so with the newspaper. Only a féw readers can eome in contact with the making of a modern daily newspaper. ‘The old days of personal journal- ism have gone just as personal contact with owners has in business.
