Abstract

Greater than a citizen's self assertiveness or his frequent lapses into petty strife is his fundamental tendency to work and live in union with his fellow men. Neighborliness is one of the more personal expressions of the universal tendency to cohesion among human beings and every means available that tends to concentrate and centralize this social demand is necessarily brought into play. From the beginning of time people have formed themselves into clans, tribes and communities, comprised of those interested in similar ideas and things, all working for the development and progress of themselves and their particular group. For centuries, the only means available to these people in exchanging bits of gossip, opinion and matters of common interest was through their own power of speech. With the invention of movable types, however, and the gradual recognition of the extreme importance of this simplified method of placing words on paper, people bound together by common likes and dislikes found a valuable and improved means of keeping themselves informed.
