Excerpt from The Greater Glory If you are one Of those rare souls who find delight in the study of your fellow men, come and live and work awhile in the Office Of a little country paper. For in the office Of such a paper in an American small town you will get down to the bedrock of human nature closer than you have ever reached before. All day long through the front Office will filter the pathos and bathos of the lives Of your kind in the form of news for your columns: births and marriages and deaths; inspiring stories Of success, heartrending stories of failure; cheap snobbery masquerading as quality; noble aspirations, unrequited sacrifices, kindly return Of good for evil. And in the back room you will find the printer folk, perhaps not so picturesque as they were yesteryear, but still very humanly interesting and each man and each woman with a story worth the telling.
