Key to knowledge

around 1858 and his first publication was
"Freeman's Oath which was followed by
the almanac and prayer book.
Down through the centuries the art Of
printing has made knowledge available to
all people. Newspapers, magazines, books
on every subject are available to every per
son in the great libraries. Not only are cur
rent events, discoveries and scientific de-
veopments, recorded but also the informa-
ton on these subjects for the past centur-
les has been saved and made available to
the student today.
Despite the introduction Of many other
methods Of communication and education,
the printed word remains the basic medium.
Several reasons come to mind. First is flex-
Utility. Visit library and you will find
many people, each reading on different sub
jects. Today. there is no subject known
vet to man. which can not be studied and
explored through published books avail
able to all people. The second reason IS
authenticity The spoken word may be mus
tered in a fit Of rage, or il may be mis-
understood, or msheard, but the printed
WORD allows time lOf mature anu NOHSluci-
ed expression, and is record which can
be studied For that reason writer's must
more carefully choose the words to express
their thoughts. and by the same token an
authenticity surrounds printed word.
Just as printing unlocked the door to
exchange Of information, freeing mems
minds and promoting general knowledge.
it can be misused to mislead to control
thinking to stir prejudices and to enslave
people. Such misuse is being made today,
particularly in the nations ruled by die
tators and a controlled press. Therefore,
it is of utmost Importance that freedom of
expression, the right Of the individual to
translate his thoughts into published words
be maintained. Future progress as has past
progress depends upon a continued free
use of printing.
May printing continue to be the mother
Of progress and the handmaiden Of achieve
ment.

THE Week January 1923 has been design
mated as National Printing Week.
The world made relatively little pro-
gress until after 1850, when German,
Johann Gansfleisch, commonly called Gu
tenberg, was the first to make cut type
from metal. The origin Of movable type is
obscure. Wooden type preceded metal type.
Laurens Janzoon Roster, of HARLEM, Ho-
land printed from movable type about
1888 and used his own ink. Gutenberg prob
ably took the idea from Roster, as his
mother was from HARLEM, and with the
aid of goldsmith named Johann Fust he
printed in Germany at Mainz on the Rhine.
Until this time, history of the past,
PHILOSOPHERS of the great minds, and rec
ords were engrossed in manuscript, prlnci-
paly by the monks The manuscripts were
available to priests and some scholars only.
Teachers and philosophers lectured but
only favored few came under their nflu-
ence and tutelage Thus it was that even
the scantily recorded knowledge Of that
day was not generally disseminated and
the people remained in ignorance.

was the Holy Bible He is famous for hay
imp printed the So line Bible and the AZ line
Bible, the latter known as the MaZarin
Bible
1t was not coincidence that Gutenberg
should have chosen the Holy Bible as his
first publication. Quest for knowledge Of
religion and consciousness Of the spiritual,
have dominated mans search into the mys-
teries of life for ages. SO it was natural
that Gutenberg should chose for pubica-
ton subject whose popularity existed. At
any rate the first books printed in any Ian
gauge have dealt with religion and free

Queen Frederika Of Greece, who has
been visiting in Washington, told story
Of a friendly gesture that greatly influenc-
ed her opinion of Americans During the
war she was travelling on plane to Cairo,
tired and emotionally upset. Two American
soldiers noticed her tears and spent some
time trying to cheer her up. They had no
idea who she was AS far as they We're con-
cerned she was Just an attractive girl who
needed few words of comfort. She never
learned their names 1t was just one of the
little human interest affairs that happen
in this world from time to time
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1954-01-19
A CTS Gallant Gesture

But one of the soldiers must have found
out later who she was. When the Queen
arrived in this country on her recent visit
among the many marks of appreciation to
her came a single rose addressed to "the
girl on the plane" There was no name nor
any other means of identifying sender. 1t
was merely silent tribute to the memory
of a girl in distress. This last gesture was
as gallant as the first, and make a fitting
climax to the little story. To the Queen
the affair symbolizes the relations this
country has had with hers. Did anyone say
