Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lies of the Allies: A Remarkable Collection
The newspaper is-the silent preacher. We can read it and reread it. We can study it, memorize from it, and 'we do. There is something about black print staring up at us which impresses us. The spoken word produces an effect upon the ear, print upon the eye. It is a fact that the mind retains more from the eye than from the ear. Black on white' is the strongest color contrast and therefore the strongest visual effect is secured from the great black headline system of the modern press: Thus the news paper comes into our homes as powerful instruments of education, as visual or objective conveyors 'of knowledge. What a tremendous responsibility.
Do our editors really appreciate their privileges and opportunities? Many. Of our people don't go to church. They might, if like the newspapers, the churches would come to them. Our schools don't go to them. All our public institutions of an educational character must be visited if we would learn from them. But the newspaper comes eagerly every hour - every day, and in greater bulk on Sunday.
