SPARKS FOR MINDS
Almost five centuries ago, Gutenberg’s invention
of movable type started a revolution. It has been
going on ever since.
For five times five centuries—and eons before—a
few men were che privileged rulers—by accident of
birth or of circumstance. The people were subjects,
supporting those thus kept in authority.
However, movable type, by cutting the cost of
printing, began the process of making knowledge
more widely available. People's understanding then
grew. Sparks of hope were awakened in the minds
of men.. .When it became apparent to entrenched
authority that permitting wide dissemination of in-
formation and ideas might in time destroy their
sinecures, censorship was exercised.
In a search for greater freedom, men of many
races and creeds crossed the ocean to establish homes
on this continent. They and their children founded
here a nation dedicated to a new principle: govern-
ment by the people, and for the people. And know-
ing that liberty could be overthrown only by subdu-
ing freedom of speech and the press, they provided
further that this basic freedom should never be
abridged.
That system of government created an opportu-
nity for all men to advance, limited only by their ef-
forts. In but a few generations it won for this people
a higher standard of living and of human welfare
than had ever before been dreamed possible.
America's freedom of the press has proved to the
world that the patriotic instinct of an informed plain
people can be relied on to govern wisely and well.
