The Influence of Little Journals

Dr. Talcott Williams, dean of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, made a remark the other day, which is well worth considering, and that was that "little journals had taken the life from the great church papers; so had the parish papers." Upon this the Bible Magazine remarks: "In our time the minds of the people are educated on any question largely by the printed page. The journal with narrow limitations and provincial tone is often an unsuspected foe of progress, for it occupies a place of influence which it can not fill." And he who has had any breadth of observation at all, knows that this is true.
