We lie, as Emerson said, in the lap of an immense intelligence.
The problem of securing diffused and seminal intelligence can be solved only in the degree in which local communal life becomes a reality.
Systematic and continuous inquiry into all the conditions which affect association and their dissemination in print is a precondition of the creation of a true public.
Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.
