E editors do far too much talking, as Every man knoweth. In truth, it is rarely by choice of ours, but rather a cloaking of the dry bones of necessity with the seeming fair robe of virtue. The editorial function in an Annual — to my mind at least — should properly be confined to the gathering of interesting material, and its presentation in readable and attrae tive form. Unfortunately, material ofttimes falls short and the editor has to fill space.
