But suppose you feel intensely enough, and are a part of the
sympathetic nerve of civilisation, then get to know your facts, and
learn to master your tools. The first of these tools is the capacity
for saying clearly, with such emphasis and precision as the case may
permit, exactly what you have to say, and then to be done with it.
Learn also to write legibly. Learn at any rate to read French
and, if possible, German. If you can also master shorthand and are an
adept at the type-writer, so much the better for your chances of
success[.] These things are among the tools of the journalist, and the
man who can handle them well will find himself the better for it at
every turn in the race.
