I have often been appealed to by friends, who said: “Can’t you
take this young man and give him employment?” Then I will watch
that young man for a month or so and see what it is that he
takes up in the morning. If he takes up the newspaper and turns
to the political part of the paper, and is interested in that,
why that is a good symptom of his intellectual tendencies; but
if, instead of that, he takes up a magazine and sits down to
read a love story, why you can not make a newspaper man out of
him.--CHARLES A. DANA.
