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.
