THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC.
Professor Geddes, the well-known Scots sociologist, has been lecturing to the Positivist Society on the interpretation of current events; and the views on the force and fanctions of the daily newspaper expressed by him contain abundant matter for thought. As might be expected from a man possessed of Dr. Geddes' wide range of thought and intense sympathy with, and comprehension of, the workings of the mind of society at large, he is far from despising "the day of small things." To him every incident of our daily life, however apparently trilling, contains its lesson, its moral, its human interest. In his view, nothing is paltry, nothing devoid of some educative element, great or small, for those who have but eyes to see it; "from the inner meaning of football, to the decisive change that is slowly but surely sweeping. over the whole field of education," everything has its meaning and its value.
Summed up, Professor Goddes' contention is just this: that a running commentary on the day's events should exist in the mind of a man while he reads his newspaper; that the facts, as they come to him from the printed shout, should be kernels or nodules round which his own new thoughts should pack themselves. He goes even farther.
