Correct Use of Word
Although the very derivation of
the word “interview,” a seeing be
tween, should have limited its appli
cation solely to face-to-face conver
sations, and was necessarily so used
in the past, the advent of the tele
phone and of other media of con
versation or rapid interchange of
thought have introduced an exten
sion of the meaning of the word.
Today, an interview may be car
ried on between two persons who
have never seen each other, and it
may be by telephone, by radio, or
even by telegraph or mail. Conse
quently, to indicate that an inter
view is exactly that, it has become
customary to label it “personal.”
Temper Makes a Toymaker
Here’s the story of an Englishman
who is making 240,000 toys a week—
A. Wells. This is how he won suc
cess: Less than nine years ago
he lost his temper, threw up his job
as toolmaker, and cooled down by
reading a comic paper. In it were
given directions for making a child’s
crane. He did it, just for amuse
ment, was struck by its simplicity,
and set up a crane factory in a sin
gle room. Today he has three large
factories, his sales have increased
300 per cent in the past 12 months,
his factories are working to capac
ity the whole year round.
