JUSTIFYING.

Accurate justification is absolutely essential, as the letters will be

warped sidewise in a loose line, making it impossible to get a fair

impression from the type. Besides, the letters are liable to be drawn

out by the suction of the rollers, to the detriment of the form and the

press. The instructor of an apprentice should occasionally pass his

finger along the side of matter set by him; and if the lines should not

prove evenly justified, they should be put into the composing-stick again

and properly corrected.
