...busy candidate does not at the time think of these less apparent benefits. He is wrapped in the task of issuing a Pictorial Section every other week. He not only experiences the first glamor of newspaper work, when he learns the mechanical mysteries of how half-tones are made and how the presses rhythmically roll out their printed pages, but his vanity is tickled by the thrill of seeing his own handiwork impressed on thousands of papers.
