THE ART of PRINTING
Printing is distinctly a social art. Setting type and striking off a number of impressions presuppose, in the first place, a community to read what is printed; and in the second place, that the information printed is of value to this community.
—L. W. Wahlstrom,
In the Francis W. Parker School Year Book.
