Young Adventure, by Stephen Vincent Benet
August, 1995 [Etext #312]
entered/proofed by A. Light, of Waxhaw
proofread by L. Bowser
*****The Project Gutenberg Etext of Young Adventure***** **This
file should be named yngad10.txt or yngad10.zip**
Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, yngad11.txt
VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, yngad10a.txt

We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the
official release dates, for time for better editing.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight,
Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version
may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who
wish to do so. To be sure you have an up to date first edition
[xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes in the first week of the next
month. Since our ftp program has a bug in it that scrambles the date
[tried to fix and failed] a look at the file size will have to do, but we
will try to see a new copy has at least one byte more or less.

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The fifty
hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take to get any
etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and
analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is
one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally
estimated at one dollar, then we produce 2 million dollars per hour this
year we, will have to do four text files per month: thus upping our
productivity from one million. The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to
Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by the December 31, 2001. [10,000
x 100,000,000=Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred
million readers, which is 10% of the expected number of computer
users by the end of the year 2001.
